Mike Johnson Backtracks, Caves to Deep State, Democrats on Slipping FBI Spy Power Reauthorization into Defense Bill

Breitbart: Speaker Mike Johson (R-LA) backtracked and caved to the deep state and Democrats, moving to slip a deep state authorization into the defense bill.

Reports say that congressional leaders, including Johnson, agreed to put an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill would extend Section 702 until April 19.

This frustrated many conservatives, including those who were supposed to be instrumental in crafting the final texts for the NDAA.

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) released a video statement after she said that leadership asked conferees, which includes herself, to agree to the 3000-plus page NDAA, which is “being released behind closed doors without even getting time to read it!”

The Peach State conservative blamed Johnson for negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to “cut a deal” that would contain prohibitions against funding for abortion and “trans surgery prohibitions” that were in the House-passed NDAA under former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). more

  1. Which is it, Mikey? You’re either a whore in the grand tradition of the grand old party and you were bought off with wealth, or you’re a sinner and criminal and somebody has you on high-def video doing awful things.

    So did you get the carrot or are you getting the stick?

  2. Welp, looks like they found something on him. Or maybe they are doing the tried and true, “The Kemp daughter’s boyfriend number”, threaten to blow him or one of his kids up.

  4. The Ukraine needs military help RIGHT NOW! Cough it up right now Mike Johnson. Dirt, show me a politician who isn’t. Maybe a further escalating war will send American feet on the ground, for thats exactly where this is headed.

  5. Rather suspect his ‘principles’ are for sale. Or, he may have traded this vote with the RINOCRATS for something to come later. Either way, I’m done with him.

  6. This is why they fought so hard to keep Jim Jordan from the speakership. They know he would have actually represented us.

    I hate the traitorous GPPe goals to be closet Dems.

  7. Another RINO just sucking up to the establishment. I would have hoped someone in this worthless group of republican’s would have the balls to say stop this crap and stand up against the evil that is demonizing our country
