Can the kowtowing to Trump get any worse?
It was so predictable. Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson belatedly did the right thing in April by allowing the House to approve aid to Ukraine over most Republicans opposition. Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi called him courageous. Yet ever since, hes been truckling to his fellow House right-wingers, and to Donald Trump, to make up for his perceived heresy.
Two of Johnsons recent actions show just how low hell go to kowtow to the disgraced former president and his MAGA disciples in the House, and how hypocritical they all are.
On Friday, Johnson announced that the House would go to federal court to press charges against Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress. Two days earlier, the House had voted along party lines to seek the Justice Departments prosecution of its boss. The department declined and within hours Johnson said the House would proceed on its own.
At issue is Garlands refusal to give Republicans an audio recording they subpoenaed of President Bidens interview last fall in the investigation of his past handling of classified documents, which didn't result in criminal charges. Garland did provide other materials the House sought, including a transcript of the interview, but Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio.
