Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson riffed on the FBI and Justice Department during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” program by noting that each of them has targeted former President Donald Trump ahead of the last several elections.
“When you consider the exoneration of Hillary Clinton, when you consider the fraudulent and corrupt investigation on Russian collusion, which was a complete lie, and the FBI knew it was, you put all these things together, the FBI, Department of Justice interfered in the 2016 election, in the 2020 election,” Johnson said.
“And here we go again. They’re going to be interfering in the 2024 election. They already have. What a mess. Obviously, President Trump’s going to have an ability to defend himself. But will he be able to defend himself quickly? Or is this going to drag on and on and on?” he added.
Some have argued that the DOJ interfered with the 2018 elections, too, because of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russian collusion probe.
“So it’s hard not to be suspicious of what the Department of Justice is doing once again. As you mentioned, the investigation Hunter Biden has been dragging on for years. They’re able to wrap up this investigation very rapidly,” Johnson continued.
”
In addition, they announce it pretty much the same day when the details of the FBI human — confidential human source is going to be revealed by members of Congress. And I won’t steal the congresswomen’s thunder here. But it’s all suspicious. And it’s just a horrible mess,” he told host Maria Bartiromo.
Meanwhile, he said, the supposed investigations into first son Hunter Biden have gone nowhere.
They were investigating Hunter Biden as far back as 2018. So this investigation is moving at a glacial pace. We have a whistle-blower coming into our office saying that U.S. attorney Weiss does not have the resources to do a proper investigation,” he said.
“But what’s interesting, Maria, now that of this FBI document has been revealed, I have gone back and I have looked at the timeline. And, first of all, you have to understand the Bidens, certainly Hunter, I think probably Joe Biden as well, knew exactly the type of people they’re dealing with,” he added.
He noted further: “President Trump pretty much made the same decision decided, not to pursue any kind of prosecution of Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden could have made the exact same decision, but he didn’t. He allowed a SWAT raid on a very secure residence of President Trump over federal records, even though he was holding classified records himself.”
