GOP lawmaker 'badly undermines' Mike Johnson’s 'core' argument against Jack Smith

Raw Story  

During an interview with right-wing Fox News this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson offered some possible ways to "rein in" Jack Smith — the U.S. Department of Justice special counsel who is prosecuting two federal criminal cases against former President Donald Trump. But The New Republic's Greg Sargent, in an article published Friday, argues that a conservative congressman — long-time Rep. Mike Simpson — has collapsed their argument in a major way. Interviewed by Politico, the 73-year-old Simpson discussed MAGA proposals to defund Smith — describing them as "stupid" and saying, "I don't think it's a good idea unless you can show that acted in bad faith or fraud or something like that…. The New Republic journalist continues, "Simpson apparently thought he was just rebuffing a tough question, but he also badly undermined a core argument of Trump and his propagandists: that the prosecutions of Trump are wholly illegitimate, exposing the 'deep state' as irredeemably corrupt to its very core.
