House Speaker Screws Up, Begs Supreme Court To Step In And Save Trump

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, during an interview on Fox News, called on the Supreme Court to help save the convicted felon that Republicans now have as their 2024 nominee. In fact, Johnson pointed out that he knows many of the Justices on the Court personally, which is a clear indication that he thinks he can sway them to act politically rather than judicially. This statement alone should be grounds for an investigation, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson is not taking the news well, that the Republican party now has a convicted felon as their presumptive nominee for this year's presidential election. And he told Fox and Friends on Friday that, Hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it. 'cause I got a couple of powerful people basically in my pocket and they're gonna handle this for us. And those powerful people that House Speaker Mike Johnson knows, of course, are the justices on the Supreme Court here is what Speaker Johnson said of the court on Fox and Friends on Friday. There's a lot of developments yet to come, but I do believe the Supreme Court should step in. Obviously this is totally unprecedented. I think that the justice is on the court, and I know many of them personally, I think they are deeply concerned about that as we are. So I think they'll set this straight. It's going to take a while. This will be overturned, guys. There's no question about it. It's just going to take some time to do it.

Let me reread you one part of that just so it sinks in super deep into your brain. I know many of them personally, that statement alone should be grounds for a massive investigation into corruption of not just the House of Representatives, not just Mike Johnson, but of the Supreme Court itself. Why would you say that? Like, why throw that part in. See, 'cause Johnson said clearly, he's like the Supreme Court should step in. So he is saying like, you guys need to do this. Oh, by the way, we're friends. Like major red flag right there. I know these guys trust me. Everything's gonna be okay. So Mike Johnson, are you actually hinting at the fact that the justices, you know, on the Supreme Court have confided in you that they're gonna overturn this without actually even hearing the facts of the case? Right? We don't even have an appeal to them yet.

And if they're already telling you, don't worry, we'll handle this. Um, that should be rounds of impeachment for everybody, right? Of course. I'm assuming this doesn't include the three liberal justices. I don't think they would be saying that to Mike Johnson, but hell investigate all of 'em. I don't care. This comes at a time as Samuel Alito and appointee by George W. Bush has of course been in the news recently flying these, you know, uh, extremist flags at his house, or at least extremist symbols that these groups use to show their support for Donald Trump. Something is rotten in the Supreme Court. Many things are rotten in the Supreme Court. And Mike Johnson is, is almost literally telling us he's gonna use that to his advantage. He's gonna use that to the advantage of the Republican party. He is gonna use those partisan hacks and those black robes to overturn

A jury verdict that was reached fairly and judiciously. So he gave us right there in that interview, everything we need to be able to launch an investigation. Mike Johnson, nobody's ever accused him of being smart, trust me. And it was very stupid of him to say that out loud.
