Smith was never approved by the Senate. He is illegitimate. Why are we funding him?

Johnson is right. (1) The measure would not even get a hearing in the Senate. (2) I think Trump will win the legal battle on the documents case in the courts. (3) Defunding special prosecutors will become a political tit for tat and will backfire at some time against the GOP.

Tell me how many votes Jack Smith is handing Trump in the upcoming election.
And that’s why I’m not going to get bent out of shape about an attempt to defund something which would only be counter productive and could not possibly succeed.
The most important thing coming up on aragenda is the election of Donald Trump. let’s get that accomplished before we start worrying about the current speaker of the house.

Smith doesn’t need to be defunded. Let him stay. He’s destroying his case, and himself, all on his own.

““That’s not something you wave a wand and just eliminate the special counsel as a provision,” the former constitutional law attorney explained. “There is a necessity for a function like that, because sometimes the Department of Justice — which is an executive branch agency — can’t necessarily, without a conflict of interest, investigate or prosecute the president who’s their boss, or the president’s family.””

The DOJ is not placed to investigate the president. Congress is. This is more of that “independent DOJ” crap.
The President is the sole person charged with faithfully executing the laws. They check on that power is Congress with it’s impeachment power if he uses it corruptly. The check is not some agency who answers to nobody who can investigate him at will.
By the Constitution the President is authorized to start and stop investigations. He can even elect to conduct the personally. Thomas Jefferson did this.

Johnson was actually a Constitutional Attorney and he thinks DOJ is independent? No wonder we are in such trouble.

It seems Judge Cannon has this case under control. She has postponed the trial date and not re-scheduling it until three hearings occur concerning Jack Smith’s mis-behavior.

Assclown Johnson never explains how the nation got by without this “necessary” special counsel concept for our first 200 years.

Mike Johnson isn’t there to serve the American people he’s there to serve his donors like most of our corrupt politicians.

REP. MIKE JOHNSON’S LARGEST DONOR WAS AIPAC. HE’S TRYING TO CUT FREE TAX FILING TO SEND WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.
https://theintercept.com/2023/11/01/mike-johnson-donor-aipac-israel/

It’s not just free tax filing they’re cutting. They are cutting the subsidies for poor Americans who received government assistance for their internet bill. They are cutting all sorts of domestic spending to favor the war machine. Since Israel has enough money to provide their citizens with free medical care and college educations why can’t they finance and pay for their own wars too? This entire country has been captured by Zionist interests that put Israel’s interests above that of Americans.

Not really if you had read the entire article to it's end:

we got a call from a person close with Johnson who offered what he sees as an important caveat: that Johnson is looking at other ways to go after Smith."

Ole Mike is 100% captured. Mikey will not do a single thing that his handler does not approve.

Johnson is a weak sister with feet of clay and zero principles. He may be a good little babble thumper but wouldn’t give a tinker’s damn to have to rely on someone like him in a tight spot. We know what he is made of now. Just a puddle of jello and that is being polite.
