Speaker Mike Johnson committed “three betrayals” to lead to the upcoming vote to eject him from the speakership, Rep. Thomas Massie said Wednesday.
“All the hard work that we had done, Mike Johnson disposed of and decided to do an omnibus bill – an omnibus bill that spent more than Nancy Pelosi’s omnibus bill , an omnibus bill that builds the FBI a brand new building.” Congress had debated the expiring Section 702 provisions of FISA for months, with competing visions held the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. The Intelligence Committee hewed closely to the Biden administration and intelligence state, which opposed reforms that could have required warrants before intel agencies spied on American citizens.
“We got a vote on the floor on warrants, whether you should have to have a warrant to spy on Americans,” he said. “This is a constitutionally redundant vote. It should be obvious to anybody that’s read the Constitution that you need warrants.” The foreign aid supplemental bill “started out as a veterans bill to give veterans better benefits, HR 815,” Massie pointed out before detailing the shadowy parliamentary procedures taken to force the bill through. “Chuck Schumer stripped every word out of it, put this supplemental in it, and sent it back to the House.”, Johnson then used a complicated parliamentary scheme to exploit the urgency in Congress to pass aid to Israel to force through Ukraine funding.
“Why is it that on all three betrayals the Senate didn’t change a word of these bills when they went to the Senate from the House?” he asked. “It’s because Mike Johnson was doing Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden’s bidding.”They didn’t need to change a word any of these bills. Chuck Schumer fought against all the amendments.
