Although no one has asked, I’d like to explain why I’m so personally concerned about background and repeated mistruth’s coming from our Speaker, Mike Johnson. I was Congressman J. Dennis (Denny) Hastert’s Chief of Staff from 1986-1991 -- before he became Speaker. Like Mike...1/10
Johnson, Hastert had religious roots as a graduate of Wheaton College and Wheaton honored him after he became Speaker by naming a program and building The J. Dennis Hastert Center for Economics, Government, and Public Policy. 2/10
Also like Mike Johnson, Denny had been in leadership as Deputy Whip when he was nominated as a “safe choice,” ironically because other Speaker nominees had some uncomfortable “skeletons in their closets.” Further like Mike Johnson, Hastert was very affable and well-liked...3/10

Mike Johnson's efforts in recent days to scrub his resume are becoming increasingly problematic for the new Speaker. This includes his role as Dean of the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law. Pressler, the school’s namesake, was sued over sexual abuse..(1/4)
apnews.com/article/mike-j…
allegations made by multiple men who say he sexually assaulted them, some when they were children. According to the Houston Chronicle, Pressler agreed to pay one victim $450,000 for physical assault and the matter is still pending in court. (2/4) Image
Past Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) President Paige Patterson was also named in the suit, for helping Pressler cover up the abuse. Mike Johnson served with Patterson as an SBC Board member from 2004-2012. The law school never opened its doors amid infighting by... (3/4) Image

Aileen Cannon, a 38 year-old lawyer with no judicial experience and limited resume, was handed a LIFETIME appointment as a federal judge just as Trump left office. Cannon's primary credentials for the job were apparently her young age and membership in the Federalist Society. 1/5
Her professional experience was so limited that she was forced to admit on her Sen Judiciary Comm questionnaire that she had never made any speeches, produced any reports, participated in any panel discussions, spoke at any conferences or written for any bar association. 2/5
In her twelve years as a lawyer, she published no writings of her own and just 3 writings done with colleagues at Gibson Dunn -- limited to promotional articles on cases handled by the firm for their own website. 3/5

Bizarre and disgusting. Positioning nuns wearing MAGA masks directly behind @realDonaldTrump at his Ohio rally. Are they praying for the hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths Trump is responsible for?
With Trump speaking...

Wow. Trump and Lou Dobbs are besties. Dobbs would never go after Linsey Graham without Trumps buy-in. Scorched earth campaign by Trump is underway after not getting Lindsey's cooperation on the Biden investigation. Bill Barr next?
No accident that Trump waited until just after Lindsey's Sen Judiciary Committee voted out Amy Coney Barrett's SCOTUS nomination before Lou Dobbs did his hatchet job. Ouch!
Can you just imagine the conversations Trump must have had with Lindsey before he did this? Trump must have been literally begging him to phony up docs, etc.
