That is the statement made by the Speaker of the House Johnson….
Johnson, who is second in line for the presidency, called the court system “corrupt.”
While I seldom agree with much any Repub has to say these I will admit that I agree with his statement in general terms but do not agree with the substance of his statement.
You can see what I mean….
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson assailed the hush money case against Donald Trump Tuesday as an illegitimate “sham,” becoming the highest-ranking Republican to show up at court, embrace the former president’s claims of political persecution and attack the U.S. system of justice.
It was a remarkable moment in modern American politics: The House speaker amplifying Trump’s defense and turning the Republican Party against the federal and state legal systems that are foundational to the U.S. government and a cornerstone of democracy.
Johnson, who is second in line for the presidency, called the court system “corrupt.”
Outside the New York courthouse, he decried “this ridiculous prosecution that is not about justice.” He said, “It’s all about politics.”
In portraying the case against Trump as politically motivated, the Republicans are also laying the groundwork to dismiss its significance should the jury convict, and for potential challenges to the fall election, a rematch with President Joe Biden, a Democrat
Johnson was a chief architect of Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential results ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, mob assault on the U.S. Capitol, and last week he called the hush money trial and the other election-year cases against Trump a “borderline criminal conspiracy.”

Thngs are far from great in the UK, and our present government is the most openly corrupt in anyone’s living memory. But at least we have never had election results challenged at any time in my lifetime. Even a vote as close as the Brexit Referendum was accepted as fact.
Best wishes, Pete.
The way it should be…..but here we have a massive amounts of idiots so anything is possible. chuq
I see John is gone again. It is so hard to keep up chuq
I hadn’t realised he had gone. I replied to two of his posts yesterday.
Surprised the heck out of me when I tried going to his blog yesterday and it said something like “this blog has been deleted by its owner”
I get an email whenever he updated the blog. Last thing I saw came in yesterday, May 16. He’d commented that there hadn’t been a single visitor to his blog yet that day, so I clicked the link in the email to go to the blog itself I found he’d deleted it entirely.
Did you get his new link? https://johnswebspaceblog.com/ chuq
He sent me this link to a new WordPress blog, chuq. (And for Grouchy)
