Ron Johnson is probably going to prison. He’s making stuff up about his role in the fake elector scheme. Hiding behind a fake phone call, throwing his staff under the bus, etc. Now he’s bringing in some Republican state rep from Pennsylvania and some Judge or something… The rep denies any involvement.
Johnson is scared. He’s not doing the Trump thing and doubling down on stupid - he’s running far away from this and throwing anyone under the bus he can.
It’s great to watch such a congress critter feel the heat.
I hope some of these republicans will really be wishing McConnell had sat Garland on the Supreme Court when he had the chance, but his role as AG is much more important at this moment in to time. Even if republicans win control the house and senate, I don’t think they’ll have enough power to deter the justice department in Biden’s first term, though I do wonder what sham hearings they’ll hold to take some of the heat off of them for January 6.
As the hearings go on, I’m becoming more confident justice will prevail, especially when I remind myself that the MAGA cult and Fox News base is a large minority. I mean, it’s a lot of people, but still a minority. Trump’s big lie also has sort of shrouded the fact that not only did Biden win, it wasn’t really even close in the popular vote. Neither was Hillary’s win. More people reject Trumpism, they’re just not as loud as the sedition crowd. Fox has the most viewers, but that’s because it’s an entertainment channel focusing on garbage, whereas people who want real news have more options.
So for those of us fearing the backlash to what happens if Trump’s ass is thrown in jail, it’s important to remember; we’re the majority, not the cult.
