Isn't this the same guy who showed his ass on TV recently about his secret society source?
Johnson is the current attack dog being used by the GOP to smear Trump's enemies. Whenever the GOP needs a village idiot they call on either Hannity or Johnson and Johnson gets a committee appointment or two. No one else is willing to make a fool out of themselves. Otherwise he is pretty useless although he seems to have no great relationship with the truth as we in Wisconsin discovered very quickly. However the GOP couldn't tolerate Feingold getting his seat back so they voted the lesser of two evils again.
It's kind of obvious what Trump is doing. It's the same method Clinton used when he was under investigation. The reason he is going after Rosenstein lately is because he can't fire Sessions but he can fire Rosenstein and install someone he can order to fire Mueller. Rosenstein was very useful to Trump when he used him to write a memo to justify firing Comey but Rosenstein refused to fall on his sword for Trump. And he won't fire Mueller. So he must go. The easiest way for Trump to get support for these firings is to discredit them enough so that his base won't hold it against him. He wants to find a way to justify it.
"Trump — as well as his aides, surrogates, and some Republican members of Congress — has engaged in an unprecedented campaign to discredit specific senior bureau officials and the FBI as an institution.
The FBI officials Trump has targeted are Andrew McCabe, the current deputy FBI director and who was briefly acting FBI director after Comey’s firing; Jim Rybicki, Comey’s chief of staff and senior counselor; and James Baker, formerly the FBI’s general counsel. Those same three officials were first identified as possible corroborating witnesses for Comey in a June 7 article in Vox. Comey confirmed in congressional testimony the following day that he confided in the three men."

He calls this "fighting back" but Trump's version of fighting back includes telling lies if necessary, smearing his enemies and revenge for anyone who he deems isn't showing appropriate homage and loyalty. They are the actions not of an innocent man fighting back but a guilty one pulling every possible dirty trick out of his hat to prevent the truth from coming out. And if he can't stop the truth he'll try to discredit it.
Trump supporters claim that Trump would be such a good president because he brings his business experience to the office. He does. However his business experience isn't an asset in Trump's case. He handles his business the same way he is handling this investigation. And it's nothing to be proud about. He isn't fighting back for us. He isn't fighting back to preserve our Republic. He is fighting back to protect himself and his family from possible criminal charges and impeachment.
Trump's behavior in his business matters is no secret. He brags about it in his books. There are multiple court cases that demonstrate his business practises and the way he handles his personal life.
Anyone who says anything bad about him automatically becomes a target for his abuse and bullying. He insults them, belittles them and makes unfounded accusations against them. The way he is behaving during this investigation shows that very clearly IMO. Instead of letting his lawyers fight back for him he continues to make their jobs more and more difficult. There is nothing brilliant or masterful about what Trump is doing. In fact quite the opposite. It is stupid beyond belief and I can only surmise that one would take that risk if they believed they had nothing else to lose.
