  1. I swear someone needs to testify against rob johnson and brings these liars to light. Put them under oath!!! Rob johnson has no shame, he doesn’t deserve that seat.

    1. @suziestube brown and when the policy makers and elections officials were gerry mandering to that effect, what were you doing? What were you fellow citizens doing??

  2. Oh, come on! Some unknown person dropped off unknown information to him and we are to believe he was just going to blindly hand it over to the VP? Was that the best lie he could come up with on the spot?

    1. @Joboygbp Edwards And I will always think highly of myself. I did a great job at raising my kids and taking care of business. Bye Felicia

  3. So these documents were in Johnson’s hands just minutes before things got crazy. Time line seems incriminating.

  4. Manu Raju deserves a medal for his extraordinary chase and reveal of deceitful Johnson. Thank you for your extraordinary work Manu Raju!

  5. This is exactly why these clowns aren’t on the committee. When you commit a crime, you don’t get to be on your own jury.

    1. @Stacey Cramer Hillery can spread such false info and lie because she gets that liberal privilege 😂

  6. Do you think Ron realises that his underlings will throw him under the bus when they are forced to testify under oath?!
    Some one is going to blab when threatened with prosecution.

    1. Yup. There is no “executive privilege” there. His staffers are obviously already being investigated.

    2. you don’t understand. One does not get “thrown under the bus” when one is guilty of something.
      That “…bus” thing is only when a guilty person tries to blame their own action on an innocent person.

  7. It’s crazy how far back this goes, and how much these people were all intertwined. They’ve been inching towards this for YEARS.

      Trump lost by 7 million popular votes for the 2nd time …

    1. @Aaron Pincus Wedtech scandal Wedtech Corporation was convicted of bribery in connection with Defense Department contracts.

      Mario Biaggi (D-NY) Convicted of obstruction of justice and accepting illegal gratuities he was sentenced to 2½ years in prison and fined $500K. (1987)

      Frederick W. Richmond (D-NY), Convicted of tax evasion and possession of marijuana. Served 9 months (1982)

      Dan Flood (D-PA) censured for bribery. After a trial ended in a deadlocked jury, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year’s probation.

      Joshua Eilberg (D-PA) pleaded guilty to conflict-of-interest charges. In addition, he convinced president Carter to fire the U.S. Attorney investigating his case.

  8. Thing is: oath, constitution, truth, honor and principle doesn’t matter to these people….just vote them out.

  9. So basically Ron Johnson is asserting that his Chief of staff “went rogue” and reached out the VP of his own accord?!?! Do the people of WI really buy that?

    1. Blame.the subordinate or the employee that just loved their boss a d would go to prison for THEM! I call BULLSHIT!

    2. I live in WI and Ron Johnson knew everything his staff knew and is absolutely guilty and I hope he and his boss can’t ever run for public office again!

    1. I don’t and I know a lie when I hear it no sensible person is going to do anything like that and to say that you didn’t know what you wanted to give to the Vice President is unbelievable. Arrest and prosecute

  10. Now look, Sen. Johnson is an honorable, truthful public servant who would _never_ take part in such a… Oh come on! He’s guilty as hell and we all know it!!

    1. @B G Technically none yet, at this point it’s conjecture and circumstantial evidence. Most people with a degree of intelligence would know that he’s way more complicit than he’s letting on.. But it’s not provable in a court of law. It’s the same reason Trump won’t go down. mores the shame.

  11. Very believable Mr. Senator. Someone he or his staffers does not know comes and gives an envelope to be delivered to the VP and they did it. Wow.

    1. @Steve Moy congressman can be either a senator or a representative. Either are considered to be a member of Congress, aka congressman.

    2. @dreamcoyote I bet Sean Riley, of Ron Johnson’s staff, is putting the January 6 Committee and the DOJ on speed dial today!

  12. People shouldn’t vote for politicians that are afraid of one person. Don’t vote for someone that cares more about career than helping the citizens.

    1. Vote for people not puppets. But too often in America we are indoctrinated to be puppets, so we elect those who resemble us.

  13. So he has no interest whatsoever in investigating who was involved in a serious federal crime and involved him and his staff in that crime. Got it.

    1. What are you talking about?! I’m pretty sure he was fully focused on not soiling his pants. Lol.

  14. This is appalling. Our country is led by Thugs. All the great work done by Scientists, Poets, Literararies, Teachers in Schools and Universities, and even by Soldiers is at stake. It is very concerning.

    1. I am really afraid not only for this country but for the world as it learn from how we behave here. And so far, there is no consequences for those thugs in the GOP.
