GOP will defund DOJ in retaliation for Trump conviction: Johnson
In a Tuesday meeting behind closed doors with his House Republican conference members, Johnson said “he will do everything he can to go after the Department of Justice,” CNN reported, “and said the verdict has ignited support for the former president, two sources familiar with the comments told CNN.”
Johnson, under fire for what some experts see as a possible admission he has been talking to Supreme Court justices about the Trump prosecutions, “briefed former President Trump on the plan before announcing it Tuesday morning,” Fox News reported, citing an unnamed lawmaker.
He also called the prosecutions of the ex-president “a new low” and “dangerous.”
Two months ago Johnson had also threatened to defund DOJ and other agencies.
“We also advanced cuts … to some of the agencies that we believe are really overreaching, and have been turned in some ways against the American people. We are going to cut 3% from DOJ, 7% from the ATF, 6% from the FBI, and 10% from the EPA,” he told reporters.

Wait - I thought the 'defund the police' movement was going to destroy the US, turning it into a vast, post-apocalyptic wasteland that would make Max Rockatansky gulp with disbelief.
