I think "Go pound sand" would have made much more sense and would have been a far more efficient use of time and resources. Maybe they get paid by the word.

What would be really sweet is if the DOJ said now that you've stirred the hornet's nest by referring the AG for contempt when he committed no crimes, we're going to go ahead and start the prosecution of Gym Jordan (and company) for his contempt of Congress.

One other item involving the esteemed Mr. Johnson which I haven't seen mentioned:
has been obsessed in recent weeks with harnessing the powers of Congress to fight on his own behalf and go to war against the Democrats he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him.
It’s a campaign he orchestrated in the days after his May 31 conviction on 34 felony counts in New York, starting with a phone call to the man he wanted to lead it: Speaker Mike Johnson.
Trump was still angry when he made the call, according to those who have heard accounts of it from Johnson, dropping frequent F-bombs as he spoke with the soft-spoken and pious GOP leader.
“We have to overturn this,” Trump insisted
You know, for such a stable genius, you’d think he might have squeezed in a civics course somewhere along the line. Exactly how would the US House of Representatives overturn a state court criminal conviction?
Wait. Don’t tell me. I want to still keep a little faith in the Constitution, okay?

They really can't do squat other than have investigations and hearings and they know it so they invited him to the Capital to provide what they are best at - political theater.

They got their fists balled up saying "Someday Garland, Someday."

Mike Johnson doesn't care. He got his brownie points from PAB34 and that's all that matters.

Such hypocrisy. We have more bad people in charge than ever before.

Untrue. When the Repugs had Trump in the White House and control of the House and the Senate it was worse.
DOJ tells Johnson that Garland committed no crimes and therefore will not be prosecuted after contempt vote
