Reid: ‘I Kid You Not,’ Trump’s ‘Cronies’ in Congress Want to ‘Defund the Police’ to Defend Him

EXCERPT:

REID: "In a last ditch effort to help Donald Trump avoid trial, his makeshift legal team on Capitol Hill, AKA House Republicans, are quite literally attempting to, and I kid you not, defund the police. But not for everyone, of course. No, no, just for the twice-impeached, four times indicted, liable for sexual abuse former president. NBC News is reporting today that with the deadline for the government spending bill quickly approaching, Trump’s MAGA cronies in Congress are not focusing their energy on politics that, I don’t know, would actually help the constituents whose tax dollars pay their salaries. Nope. Instead, they’re using government funding as an opportunity to hinder the federal and state prosecutors who have indicted Trump. Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia, for example, says he will introduce two amendments to eliminate federal funding for Special Counsel Jack Smith, as well as the Fulton County and Manhattan district attorneys, Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg. Meanwhile, Congressman Matt Gaetz is pushing for legislation that would flat out cut off funding for Smith’s office, an effort that is supported by de facto House Speaker Marjorie Taylor Greene. And then you have Congressman Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who just last week opened an investigation into Fani Willis. He’s also calling for provisions in the spending bill that would change how the Justice Department can use money. That includes barring the DoJ from conducting a politically sensitive investigation which includes political candidates and family until the Department of Justice establishes a policy requiring non-partisan career staff to oversee such investigations. No mention of whether or not that standard would apply to his party’s investigation into another presidential candidate named Joe Biden.”
