Sen. Johnson on Assassination Attempt: "I Completely Understand Legitimate Suspicion"

 Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) was a guest on SiriusXM's 'The Wilkow Majority' where he discussed some people’s concerns about the lack of security for President Trump in Pennsylvania and whether the federal government will properly investigate what exactly happened.

ANDREW WILKOW, host: We've watched as the Trump-Russia thing, the dossier, to Crossfire Hurricane to the Mueller Report. We know that an unverified document of nonsensical accusations were somehow made the leap from campaign ad stuff, which look, I guess under the First Amendment, a campaign could produce an ad, an attack ad that's not entirely truthful. But somehow that morphed into a FISA court warrant. And millions of people who support President Trump have watched, as it seems, that elements within the government have gone to great lengths to air fingers quote, "Get Trump." And the worst of all fears would be an assassination. Are you at all worried that it's not what someone may be doing directly, but indirectly, or not doing, that maybe having lax security, you know, not putting the full force of the secret service on President Trump's detail? Are you at all worried that there are people that want that to happen?

SEN. RON JOHNSON: I mean, like, what I think probably happened on January 6th where they withheld the police presence? ‘If something happens, well, this will sink Trump forever.’ I mean, Pelosi, her people knew about this. They knew about possible plans to breach the Capitol. And according to J. Michael Waller, there was not one law enforcement officer present on the west side of the Capitol. How can that possibly be? But of course, the Senate Committee, they didn't investigate that. The House January 6th committee obviously didn't investigate that. I mean, those were also just whitewashes, committees designed to not get to the truth, but to cover up what probably happened. Okay. To get Trump.

So I completely understand the suspicion that's out there. It's legitimate suspicion, and that's why this has to be fully investigated. I'm not going to rest until we uncover things.

And let's face it, I uncovered an awful lot. I know firsthand how corrupt the FBI's investigation was. I've been a target of their corruption - the recipient of unsolicited briefings where they talked about being a target of Russian disinformation to try and obviously sabotage the revelation of the Hunter Biden laptop. But it kind of worked because we didn't take possession that when it was first offered to us. We went to the FBI to find out what they knew about it. They wouldn't tell us for weeks until the computer shop guy turned it over to Rudy Giuliani's attorney. The rest is history. So, no, these guys know what they're doing.

They pre-sabotaged the Hunter Biden laptop. They completely, it was a complete corruption of the Russian collusion hoax. And by the way, has the Washington Post, have these guys given back the Pulitzer Prizes they earned or won for a complete false story, the narrative they promoted that put America in political turmoil, that it's still present to this day. I mean, where's the mea culpas in the media? You'll never get it. Because they're active advocates for the left themselves. That's the problem. Trump is not up against Kamala Harris. He's up against the leftist media.
