Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) attempted to create some distance between himself and President Trump when a reporter recently pressed him on his staff’s apparent involvement in a fake electors scheme to help Trump steal a second term.
Apropos of nothing, RonJon sure has a dark tan for a cheesehead. Like maybe he lives on the golf course or something. Instead of senatoring. Who else do we know that spent a record amount of time on the links, more than any serving president? (not that tfg ever “served” anyone but himself…)
RonJon and the Republican Party in general have learned that they can turn on a dime, change positions without explanation, deny what they’re on videotape as having said or done, and the feckless Base (a good word; check out its other meanings) will never even notice.
Me: Senator Johnson? I have here a bomb I’d like you to deliver to the Vice President.
Ron Johnson: Who are you?
Me: Somebody.
RJ: Well, I guess a bomb counts as “something,” and you’re “somebody,” so I’ll get right on it, Mr. Somebody!
Johnson’d probably have to change his story when he was under oath, unless he wanted to be charged with one of those ‘process crimes,’ on top of anything else.
Thus, I suspect he’s gonna do everything he can to avoid being called to testify by any court, grand jury or congressional committee.
His story keeps changing. He is scared to death that he is going to spend time in the graybar hotel. Somebody must have told him that he has real legal exposure.
