Republicans finally tell the truth about Biden probe: "It would certainly help Donald Trump win re-e



Written by Igor Derysh / Salon September 17, 2020

Democrats accused Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., of abusing his position after he publicly admitted that his investigation into the party’s presidential nominee Joe Biden would “certainly” help President Donald Trump’s re-election chances.

Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has led a probe into Obama-era intelligence activities and Biden’s alleged ties to Ukraine for months after a similar effort by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani led to the president’s impeachment last year. Johnson acknowledged during an interview first flagged by Politico that his probe would “certainly” damage Biden’s electoral hopes.

“The more that we expose of the corruption of the transition process between Obama and Trump, the more we expose of the corruption within those agencies, I would think it would certainly help Donald Trump win re-election and certainly be pretty good, I would say, evidence about not voting for Vice President Biden,” Johnson said in a radio interview on Tuesday.

Johnson claimed during another radio interview this week that the evidence his committee had found was so “outrageous” that “it should completely disqualify Biden from president.”

Johnson rejected the bipartisan criticism of his investigation during the Tuesday interview.

“There’s a coordinated effort now,” he claimed, “to destroy me.”


Your doing a fine job on your own Johnson, on destroying oneself ...................I am still asking myself what you did last year on July 4, 2019 while visiting Russia...............who's your daddy, Putin or Trump or both...............seriously...........
