Well that is it, isn't it? The entire campaign of the MAGApupblicans is about delegitimizing every aspect of American democracy to say the entire world is against them and their people. Life is just so unfair for all the MAGApublicans. So, now the legitimate practice of the Rule of Law in the courthouse where evidence is being presented is unfair and illegitimate. Johnson should be ashamed of himself. He doesn't belong there.
Everyone of the witnesses in this trial are under oaths to tell the truth. No one knows better than Michael Cohen what trivializing the USA Constitution and it's Rule of Law will bring, including prison.
Every one of the witnesses appearing before Judge Merchan are brave. It is unfortunate that bravery for a witness is necessary, but, it is and it is because Trump has no respect for human life.
There is one juror that belongs to the MAGApublicans. It is that one juror Trump is counting on and Johnson's appearance hoped to influence.
"President Trump is innocent of these charges," Johnson said, speaking outside the courthouse as proceedings got underway inside.
The Louisiana Republican was the latest in a number of GOP members of Congress who have shown their support for the former president at his New York trial in recent days. He said he came on his own accord to support Trump, whom he called a friend. Several other lawmakers also attended.
The speaker has emphasized his closeness to Trump in recent weeks as he faced a challenge to his speakership from a handful of conservatives within his conference. And the former president came to his aid when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene brought up a snap vote to oust Johnson, offering his support for the speaker in a social media post.
Johnson claimed on Tuesday that the trial is meant to "keep him [Trump] off the campaign trial." He said that as a former litigator, he's "disgusted" by what is happening to Trump....

If there are any West Virginia Republicans that want to vote for someone other than a MAGApublican, they have to write it in.
