‘It Sends a Strong Signal to Johnson’s Enemies’: Continetti on Trump’s Support Amid FISA Vote

EXCERPT:

CONTINETTI: “I think it’s an important vote. There are real concerns about FISA abuse and the actions of some of our national security agencies when it comes to surveillance. But I think this two-year window gives the House Republicans and some of their progressive allies on this issue a chance to build in real accountability measures to make sure those abuses don’t occur. Especially when we’re under this threat, Bret, where the FBI director is warning of ISIS-K attacks, when we have this problem at the border. How important it is for Mike Johnson that Trump is by his side? I think very important. I think it sends a strong signal to Johnson’s enemies like Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. The question is, when it comes to that Ukraine vote, which Speaker Johnson has promised in the coming weeks, will Trump be there with him and will Johnson be able to withstand the pressure after that vote goes through?”
