House Speaker Mike Johnson told a hotel conference roomful of Christian conservatives that he was the only thing stopping Democrats from investigating not just President Donald Trump, but all of his allies and family members — and many of them, too.
Johnson spoke on Friday to the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual summit, a gathering of religious conservatives, where Trump also spoke later in the day. Most polling shows Democrats have a good chance of winning back the House of Representatives, but Johnson warned of the consequences for such a Republican defeat.
He warned that while Trump will not be on the ballot again, his future might be, along with their own.



Said the quiet part out loud again
He’s not saying he’ll do it. He’s trying to scare them into voting Republican by arguing that Democrats will imprison them all on BS charges if they get control of the house.
He’s literally arguing for a one party system though, so maybe that’s the quiet part you meant.
