Mike Johnson Confirms He & Trump Have a "Secret" Plan To Help Trump Take Power. Hey DOJ - You Up? - Glenn Kirschner



House Speaker Mike Johnson just confirmed to The New York Times that he and Donald Trump have a "little secret" designed to help Trump take power regardless of the election's results.

Recall - Trump had not just one but FIVE little secret plans to steal the 2020 election:

1. A little secret plan to have his dirty lawyers file more than 60 fraudulent lawsuits to try to steal the election;

2. A secret pressure campaign of state election officials ('just find me 11,780 votes" ) to try to steal the election;

3. The fake elector secret scheme to try to steal the election;

4. The secret pressure campaign on Mike Pence trying to convince him to violate the law by refusing to certify Joe Biden's election win to try to steal the election; and

5. The secret scheme to incite the mob at the January 6, pre-insurrection pep rally to attack the US Capitol and stop the certification, to try to steal the election.

All five of Trump's secret schemes failed and he is now indicted for that very conduct.

Yet, Trump is undeterred, announcing that he and Johnson have a "little secret" to try again.

Hey, DOJ . . . you up? You need not sit back an wait for Trump to deploy his 6th secret scheme to steal an election. How about some pro-active law enforcement this time? - Glenn Kirschner - 10/29/2024.

Mike Johnson might not be Speaker on January 6th. In fact, there’s a good chance he won’t be.

It's a distraction, and it's working. Look, shiny object!

If they had a secret plan, they wouldn't be talking about it publicly. This isn't complicated.

What does Kirschner think the DOJ should do? Arrest Trump and Johnson because they said they have a secret like a couple of seven-year-olds? Does he really believe he's the only one who thinks Trump might try to pull some shit if he loses?

Come on.

Too many fail to realize that Ronald Reagan's "pro-immigrant, anti-Russian, anti assault weapons" Republican party no longer exists.

... Garland mustn't be seen to be partisan! Hmmm... I didn't know that honesty and decency were partisan attributes. Who knew?
