MTG and Massie Prepare to Strike, Will Force Johnson Expulsion Vote ‘Next Week’

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) earned the endorsement of House Democrat Leadership Tuesday. He will need to cash in on that endorsement only days later.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced to a packed press conference outside the Capitol Wednesday that they would force a vote on Greene’s motion to vacate “next week.”

With the Capitol dome behind them, Greene and Massie accused Johnson of “three betrayals” on government funding, allowing surveillance of American citizens, and funding Ukraine without first securing the border.

The move has long been expected, but Wednesday’s escalation makes clear Johnson’s perilous path toward maintaining his gavel — if not in the short term, certainly beyond November.

“This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,” read a short Johnson statement issued after the announcement and a day after Johnson accused Greene of not being a serious lawmaker.

After Greene filed her motion, Johnson proceeded to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) after casting the deciding vote to kill the warrant requirement and then folded on Ukraine funding.

“Now we have Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats coming out, embracing Mike Johnson with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss,” Greene said, arguing Democrats endorsed Johnson “because Mike Johnson is giving them everything they want. Everything. Every single thing.”

It’s definitely frustrating.

But we need to focus our anger where it really belongs. We have no idea who has been threatened by the intel community, with their “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”. I just read about a 1990’s conspiracy where the FBI, DOD, CIA, news media, Omaha police chief, etc groomed teens from Boys Town in Omaha to have them get powerful people in DC on blackmail tapes.

Vault 7 exposed CIA tools that include the ability to plant evidence on anybody’s computer; we know they planted classified records on Sharyl Attkisson’s computer. They threatened to put child porn on my husband’s computer. A person doesn’t have to be guilty of anything to be threatened by these lawless jerkwads.

Right now the R committee chairs are investigating a lot of action by the Deep State and will have criminal referrals for Trump’s AG, if we allow them to keep their position. Prosecuting the crimes of the Deep State is the only way we’re going to stop the betrayals, and we are so close to being able to do that.

Tucker Carlson, James O’Keefe, and others are doing a good job of bringing the lawlessness into the public eye. But the only way anything will come of it is if we have willing people in the right positions to make criminal referrals to the DOJ and an AG that’s actually committed to the rule of law. Nothing happens if we don’t have both at the same time. We need to think strategically and not let the demoralization destroy our will to fight intelligently and effectively.
