House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a ChristianĀ before anything else. He hasĀ saidĀ his āfaith informs everything I do.ā He hasĀ toldĀ people curious about his views to āpick up a Bible.ā His wifeĀ reportedlyĀ runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized,Ā states, āWe believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adulteryā¦is sinful and offensive to God.āĀ He hasĀ saidĀ he and his son use a software program called Covenant Eyes to ensure neither is looking at porn.
Given all this, you may think that Johnson would not be comfortable showing up to a criminal trial to defend a guy who allegedly had an affair with an adult film star (according to the adult film star anyway, though Trump denies it), paid her to stay quiet about the alleged affair, and then was accused of covering up said payment. But you would think wrong!
On Tuesday, Johnson attendedĀ Donald Trumpās hush money trial in Manhattan, whereāprior to the proceedings getting underwayāthe congressional leader nodded approvingly at Trump from behind a metal barrier, like a groupie at his favorite bandās concert.
How do you think they just skipped the parts where they would state the actual alleged crimes? They in fact didnāt skip that part.
Alright then, what is the folony crime theyāre claiming he committed?
Itās falsifying business records, which becomes a felony when combined with it being a campaign finance violation.
Not as strong of a case as the docs one but it is a crime.
Right, thatās why the FEC and Braggs office declined to prosecute the case already, and then wouldnāt ya know, campaign season rolls around and all the sudden itās being prosecuted. Iām just not that naive. I see it for what it is although I do expect a guilty verdict to come and then to get overturned on appeal
Youāre just imagining facts that are convenient to what you want to think but are not true. This case has been in the works for years. It didnāt just happen recently all of the sudden because it is election season.
Yeah, it was in the works before and 2 courts declined to prosecute it, one being the very court that itās being tried in now, the other being the Federal Election Commission. Iām not imagining anything. Thatās just the facts bud
