Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) signaled Wednesday that some Republican members on his committee have voiced concerns about his investigations related to the Obama administration and Hunter Biden, the son of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Johnson, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, was asked during an interview with Fox News whether there are Republican senators on his panel who do not want him to subpoena former FBI Director James Comey.

"I wasn't going to name names. There are legitimate concerns, and, again, I was happy to try to obtain these documents on a voluntary basis," Johnson said, asked about potential pushback from GOP members.

He added that some GOP senators wanted him to "do everything I could to obtain the testimony and documents on a voluntary basis. We've been trying."

2. Comey is a lot more measured, but Brennan would eat this clown's fucking lunch

Johnson won't subpoena them because they would dunk on him. On live TV.

But he's a coward, so he claims that others on his committee won't go along.

WI voters should be embarrassed by this assclown, but they elected him AND Scott Walker, so... maybe they're incapable of it.

4. Hmmm...2010.

Scott Walker, Paul LePage, Rick Snyder, Joni Ernst, Rick Scott, Ron Johnson...the clown car kept filling.

An abysmal rookie crop--in sports terms. But these are the pols that Charles and David Koch wanted and paid for.

The country has been paying ever since.

3. Advisor to M Bloomberg Tim O'Brien did say on NTL TV that if the gop went after Hunter Biden

That he, Bloomberg would go scorched earth on dotard’s kids... johnson obviously has a shorter memory than maybe some of the other pukes. It’s been a while since this came out, but Bloomberg is a man of his word and not one to be toyed with!!

People have bemoaned Bloomberg is nowhere to be seen. That isn’t true, if you think that you’re not looking. He told the NYT he is spending upwards of 15 mil to help flip the senate. Right now Biden’s war chest surpasses dotard’s and doesn’t need the money
