Dan Goldman Slams Mike Johnson: ‘Here’s the Speaker of the House Who Is Not Defending the Institution’

EXCERPT:

GOLDMAN: “And here’s the speaker of the House, who is not defending the institution from what is so clearly politicized prosecution. Yet again, the Republicans in Congress have just completely turned over all of their own authority as a separate and equal branch of government to Donald Trump’s weaponized government. And they will continue to toe this line. It’s the same reason that they put forward all of this BS about Joe Biden weaponizing the federal government, because we all know that it was Donald Trump who did it, and it is certainly Donald Trump who is doing it now. And you are not seeing anything coming out from this Trump Administration about any politicization or weaponization of the government during the Biden Administration. All we’re seeing is them doing that. But they’re trying to create a dynamic where they’ve convinced the public that this is just a quid pro quo, so to speak, this is tit for tat, 'Well, they did it, so we’re doing it.' That’s BS. That is absolutely not the case. This is as bad as it’s ever been. This is worse than Watergate. This Department of Justice is corrupt and it is politicized. And it is — if the Republicans in Congress don’t stand up to Donald Trump and say, 'You’ve gone too far,' I don’t know that we’ll ever be able to come back from this complete corruption."
