Legal experts walk through 'the crazy' of Ron Johnson's fake 'investigation' of Joe Biden

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/legal-experts-walk-through-the-crazy-of-ron-johnsons-fake-investigation-of-joe-biden/


Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has put aside the urgency of a global pandemic and urgency to help unemployed Americans and turned to focus instead on investigating a conspiracy he helped cook up over former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine. The so-called “investigation” came after President Donald Trump was impeached for trying to bribe Ukraine to come up with “dirt” on Biden.

Johnson and House colleague Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) were both caught receiving documents from a pro-Russia and Kremlin-linked Ukrainian official named Andrii Derkach.

After being questioned about his conspiracy, Johnson claimed, “What have I published, what have I reported on, that is not true, that is any form of Russian disinformation? There has been nothing.”

In an 11-page letter, Johnson promised Russia had nothing to do with the information.

“It is neither me, Chairman Grassley, nor our committees that are being used to disseminate Russian disinformation,” he claimed.
