CNN’s Tapper Presses Speaker Johnson on Trump Posting to Go After Comey: Don‘t You Have Any Qualms About It?

‘What I have qualms with Jake, is the total and utter weaponization of the Department of Justice and Comey was a primary person responsible for that’

RUSH EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "I would take issue with that. I don‘t think that‘s what he did. But what I have qualms with Jake is the total and utter weaponization of the Department of Justice and Comey was a primary person responsible for that. They quite literally for four years under the Biden Administration turned the entire apparatus of our judicial system against one person. His name is Donald Trump. There‘s never been a political figure in the history of the world who was so maligned and attacked, certainly not using the legal system of his country to go after him in the way they did every way possible. You and I would need three hours of a program to go through all the ways that they that they did, that they weaponized the DoJ. And so that‘s what Comey ultimately was the leader of and responsible for. He was one of the primary persons who did that. And I think if he lied to Congress about what he knew and when he knew it, then that is a matter that transcends politics. I think he has to be tried for that. And I expect that the the jury in that case will will determine that. That‘s exactly what he did."
