Opinion: GOP looks for revenge over Trump verdicts

[Dulcinea]

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) The first reaction of most Republicans in Congress to the 34 guilty verdicts returned last month against former President Donald Trump wasn’t to do some soul-searching about the direction of the Grand Old Party.

Instead, Republicans on Capitol Hill began designing plans this week to strike back at the state of New York and the White House, arguing loudly that President Joe Biden is leading his party in a giant legal dragnet against Trump.

“They’re so desperate to stop him that they are willing to use the judicial system to do so,” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said. “We have reached a new low.”

As the speaker signaled his support for action, GOP lawmakers called for votes on plans to block federal funding for prosecutors who have cases against Trump — including Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, and special counsel Jack Smith.

1. Johnson is guilty for his part of the attempt

to overthrow our government. He should be arrested and a jury of his peers throw a verdict at his sorry ass too.
