House Speaker Mike Johnson’s statement on President Trump trial verdict:
Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one.
The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden Administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents. Â
The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong—and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict—and he WILL WIN!
This is like SDG’s hot take.
If there are legitimate concerns about this trial, Trump can raise them on appeal. I bet he doesn’t appeal, though. He won’t be able to find an attorney willing to do it. All his election fraud attorneys have been disbarred— with Jenna Ellis being disbarred this week.
There was nothing wrong with the trial, as far as I saw. If anyone has issues,
now is the time to speak. Otherwise, STFU.
