Republicans have been calling for their elected representatives in Washington, D.C. to unite against the never-ending Democrat lawfare.
Between appearances on Fox News and fiery speeches in the halls of Congress, it seemed that voters would get their wish.
But Donald Trump just got sold out to Alvin Bragg thanks to this one RINO traitor.
House Republicans double down on funding Trump political persecution
Almost immediately after the Democrat stacked court convicted Donald Trump in Alvin Bragg’s politically engineered trial, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) promised to activate the House’s power of the purse in order to “rein in” rogue prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith.
But when the time to act on his promise came, Johnson did what most establishment politicians do and completely folded.
The House Appropriations Committee, chaired by Representative Tom Cole (R-OK), just recently introduced a spending bill for the Department of Justice.
The funding bill, atrocious by nature, commits full funding for Jack Smith’s two politician witch hunts against former President Donald Trump.
The bill also includes every requested dime for the offices of rogue prosecutors Fani Willis, District Attorney for Fulton County, GA and the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
POLITICO reported, “Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday morning rolled out a large funding package that includes Justice Department spending for the next fiscal year.”
“But the 158-page bill doesn’t include language targeting a special counsel’s ability to investigate a current or former president, or DOJ’s ability to appoint them,” continued the report.
“In addition to not explicitly targeting special counsel Jack Smith, the bill also doesn’t delve into the state-level cases against Trump or go after grant funding to those offices, such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis,” added POLITICO.
The betrayal
The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan (R-OH,) specifically wrote in language to withhold funding for rogue prosecutors who pursued judicial retribution for their political opponents.
Rank-and-file Republican voters expect the politicians they elect to use the tools and resources available to them to fight back against President Joe Biden’s partisan weaponization of the Justice Department.
It is clear that these conservatives are fed up with the theatrics and non-stop, ineffective strongly-worded letters that carry no weight.
Trump supporters have been demanding action in lieu of the over recycled clichés.
But Speaker Johnson and Representative Tom Cole of the House Appropriations Committee decided, instead, to give Joe Biden another free pass to continue his political persecutions against his top political rival for President.
Neither Johnson nor Cole showed any interest in holding Alvin Bragg or Jack Smith accountable for their unrelenting interference with the 2024 Presidential election.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) may have put it most clearly in an interview with Maria Bartiromo back in May.
“Well, Mike Johnson is owned by the Democrats,” Greene responded to Bartiromo questioning why Johnson refused to defund Democrats’ lawfare against Donald Trump.

This sense of invincibility is exactly why Bragg is still pushing for an existing gag order against Trump to be extended so that Trump cannot defend himself publicly against the attacks by Joe Biden and the Democrats about the case.
Jack Smith took the same strategy out of Bragg’s playbook to request for a gag order to prevent Trump from criticizing the FBI and Justice Department if and when attacked by the Left in his witch hunts.
And while Bragg and Smith continue to abuse the legal system to aid Joe Biden’s re-election effort, they expect Congressional Republicans, who currently hold a majority in the House of Representatives, to step up and take action.
But instead of doing the right thing, Speaker Johnson has decided to give in to Joe Biden, just as he did before with the debt ceiling and prior debates about funding the government.
