House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office told Breitbart News exclusively that he intends to remain as Speaker of the House after he cast the deciding vote against ending the deep state’s warrantless surveillance of American citizens on Friday.
Johnson, who is now rushing down to Mar-a-Lago to hope former President Donald Trump gives him a lifeline, is facing serious questions as to whether or not he can continue in the position after a string of major policy failures on his watch. Johnson intends to hold a press conference with Trump to unveil a messaging bill meant to stop illegal aliens from voting. The proposal is not serious, and stands no chance in the Senate. Using Trump like this, as a shield with a messaging bill that is not serious, has rubbed lots of Trump-aligned movement leaders the wrong way in a big way.
“He’s not resigning,” Raj Shah, the Speaker’s spokesman, told Breitbart News when asked about rumors that he was considering leaving the post. “No,” Shah reiterated when asked if Johnson was considering stepping down.

True. Johnson is trash. We best get rid of all RINOS.
Republican legislators are probably all under surveillance anyway.
All it takes is a setup where a foreign source calls or emails them.
273-147....How do you figure...
Johnson, you are an ahole...
On one new program this morning Jim Jordan gave the clearest reasons why extenssion of section 702 of the FISA regime should not be passed without an amendment he said was proposed to be included. That amendment did not get included.
Watch as this deft leader does a backwards sommersault while pulling the rug out from under his own future.
The only difference at this point (presumably) is their willingness to throw up some procedural roadblock to prevent Trump from being certified. If that wasn’t a real concern, I’m not sure how much I’d really care about having Jeffries replace Johnson.
It really seems like they may have something on him. For the first few month of his speakership, he did some good things and seemed to be all in. Now he’s taken an abrupt turn. It’s hard for me to explain it any other way than that he’s being pressured behind the scenes.
See GIF of girls spewing coffee. There is no bound to Republican stupidity. If the Intel community really needs this capability so badly then make them show how they are defending civil liberties by delivering on pikes the heads of everyone who has been involved in abuse of this power. Body parts traded for names of hitherto unnamed culprits. Let's do one of those three hops thing how many people do the people you conspired with conspire with and how many did they conspire with. You guys want to serve your country and save it from its enemies foreign and domestic, here is your chance.
As angry as I am that it passed, and as angry as I am that Johnson cast the deciding vote to pass it, don’t forget that we have a bunch of SPINELESS RepubliCANTS who could have made that needed difference. It didn’t have to come down to one man, and it shouldn’t have.
Honestly, I don’t think anything can explain the positions of some of these Congresscritters other than plain old blackmail. Watch the Oliver Stone movie “Snowden” to get an idea of what kind of tricks the Deep State has up their sleeves...
Totally... something on him or on someone close to him...
With Johnsons like these, who needs a Jeffries.
As expected Mike Johnson is a scumbag RINO traitor who will give up 60 billion for nothing
Johnson is a deep state traitorous bastard.
Nope! That would be 10 times worse! But half of the people here refuse to look at the bigger picture, weigh pros & cons of whatever circumstances happen to be at any given moment, come up with a plan that takes past, present & future circumstances into account & positions us well on election day & work hard to elect & enact the most conservative agenda possible. At present, all half of the people here care about is electing Trump (like one person could change everything on his own) & paying 20 times more attention to internal battles with
establishment GOPers than communist Democrats, violations of free speech & enacting election id & oversight statutes. I had so many hopes for MAGA energy. Other than for Trump, they don’t appear to be showing up- but they’re certainly happy to complain a lot. I’ll await their inevitable ‘I know you are but what am I?’ 🙄
Thanks LG!
MTG is the only one who knows what to do.
He voted to allow violation our Constitutional rights. He is the enemy of Americans.
As expected, not one poster can come up with any comment from Speaker Johnson that suggests or shows he would have voted in any way OTHER than he did regarding FISA.
It shouldn’t have been a surprise that Johnson voted the way he did re: FISA.
