Speaker Johnson vows to 'fight back... with everything in our arsenal' after Trump verdict
Johnson emphasized that Republicans will remain within the 'rule of law'
By Anders Hagstrom Fox News
Published June 2, 2024 11:27am EDT

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., vowed to retaliate for the guilty verdict against former President Trump on Sunday, saying House Republicans would use "everything in our arsenal."

Johnson made the comments during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" with host Shannon Bream. The speaker emphasized the oversight powers that the House has, and said they plan to leverage them against corrupt prosecutors. He clarified, however, that Republicans must remain within the "rule of law."

"We are the rule of law party. Chaos is not a conservative value. We have to fight back, and we will with everything in our arsenal. But we will do that within the confines of the rule of law," Johnson said.

"We believe in our institutions. We are conservatives, and we are trying to conserve the greatest country in the history of the world. And its institutions are an important part of that. Our system of justice is an important part of that," he added.

   I'm not fooled Speaker Johnson. 
   Yall have been saying that crap, on a regular basis, since Boehner was elected to that position in 2013 and not following through. 
   At least Gingrich/Hastert were somewhat effective the 10 years prior to your weak domination of the GOP House, and the GOP hadn't had the House in 40 years (1955).

Heh.
Another strongly-worded statement from the weak-willed Speaker...

Yup.  And a bunch of sternly-worded letters from the usual suspects.

The biggest thing you have in your arsenal is the ability to cut off spending for the Democrats.  Balance the budget, dumbass.  You want to hurt the Democrats?  Do that.  Stop arming them.  Where do you think they got the money to pay for Trump's prosecution?  You gave it to them.

I will believe it when I see it.

Actions speak far louder than words.

Until then, I expect the SSDD as we have seen in the past.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Aside from Trump's retribution, how's that FY2025 Budget coming along?  Will it still be on time and hopefully have some spending cuts?

Americans pay you to represent them.  American taxpayers are not paying you to be Trump's private attorneys.

I wished Congressional Republicans worked as much to reduce my payroll taxes as they do to help Trump avoid consequences of his bad decisions and actions.  Pr!ck$.
