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?
