RonJohn acknowledges texting with Trump attorney on Jan 6

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MILWAUKEE — Sen. Ron Johnson on Tuesday acknowledged he exchanged text messages with one of Donald Trump’s attorneys before and after Johnson’s staff attempted to deliver a package to then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6.

He added that the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack "smeared" him because it didn't publicize all the text messages between his and Pence's aides.

Johnson, in response to questions from NBC News, said “the entire episode lasted about an hour,” in reference to his ties to a fake electors scheme he said he knew nothing about. He also said he didn’t know the contents of the package he said the attorney wanted to be delivered.

“You can’t even call it participation, I wrote a couple texts,” Johnson said.

1. So from "it was just a few seconds" to "not more more than 10 minutes "to "about an hour" ...

... to texting with Trump's lawyers before and after he had his staff try to deliver the phony
slate of electors to V.P. Pence?

Law breaking asshole.

6. So somebody who the Senator said he did not know gave his office a package of which the Senator ...

... said he did not know what was in it to give to the Vice President?

He is a very bad liar. Johnson was an active participant in Peter Navarro's Green Bay Sweep. Gum up the works, delay certification,
find enough republicans willing to betray America, and make Trump a dictator.

7. The thing is

...if you look at his previous statement, it was "staff to staff" and he didn't even know about it:

Link to tweet

The audio is screwy for the first 25 seconds.

Notice the shift from "staff level" to a few texts.

8. "and I was basically unaware of it"

aka I was very much aware of it.

9. He should have just given a statement to the committee

Since he’s easily spent an hour so far with this thing that took minutes.

2. Hey buddy, would you deliver this anonymous package to so and so? No, I don't know what's in it.

3. Looks like Ron is slowly sliding into the pit he's dug for himself.

Good.

5. Sadly, it looks like RoJo is going to win reelection

Magats will eat this stuff up, and Barnes doesn't have enough funds to fight it.
