Report: Trump asked Mike Johnson to use the Federal Government to overturn his conviction and Johnson’s response was essentially “I do, boss!”

Perhaps you have realized something over the past eight years and have changed that the Republican Party has been blindly and shamelessly devoted to Donald Trump, a man they treat like a cult leader who can do no wrong and who would happily drink cyanide if he asked. For example, that’s how you can explain deranged reaction ARRIVE Hunter Biden was indicted and convicted on gun charges, and that’s also how you can explain the House leadership agreeing to use the full force of the federal government to go after Trump’s enemies and help him. We overturn the verdict of a jury of his peers.

politics report that immediately after being convicted of 34 felonies in New York, Trump called the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and, amid “regular F-bombs,” told the Louisiana lawmaker that Congress must destroy the Democratic Party he said had “weaponized” the Justice Department against him. He also specifically asked Johnson to do something about his guilty verdict, allegedly saying: “We have to overturn this.”

Does Johnson respond by reminding Trump that he was convicted in state court (over which Congress has no jurisdiction) or by telling the former president that he should set an example and respect the law? permission? Did he also remind Trump that he is a devout Christian who uses special software to stop himself from watching porn, so the idea that he would fight for a guy convicted of paying a porn star a hush money would go against everything he claims trust? We’ll give you two guesses, but you might only need one!

According to Politics:

The speaker didn’t really need to be convinced, a person familiar with the conversation said: Johnson, a former lawyer, already believes the House has a role to play in resolving Trump’s predicament. Since then, the two have talked about this topic many times.

While it’s unclear exactly what Johnson could do to help Trump overturn his conviction, the Speaker has been putting pressure on his friends on the Supreme Court, speak in an interview earlier this month: “I think the justices of the Court—I know many of them personally—I think they are deeply concerned about it, as are we. So I think they will clarify this.”

As for targeting prosecutors in the case against Trump, Johnson has apparently done it all:

Johnson also negotiated with the Judiciary Committee chairman and Trump ally Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on using the appropriations process to target the special prosecutor Jack Smithprobe’s. That’s clearly a softening of his position: He said in an interview with Politico last month that he found a similar idea by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) impossible; now, he’s actually considering it.

“That country certainly sees what’s going on and they don’t want it Fani Willis And Alvin Bragg and these types of people can continue to use donor dollars to target people in a political legal fashion,” Jordan told us.

On Thursday, Trump talk with Republicans on Capitol Hill, his first appearance there since inciting a violent attack on the Capitol that his allies in the GOP do not hold him responsible for responsibility. And apparently it’s as bad and cultish as one would expect:
