How about if your in the US House?
Putting bill up for a vote that would allow a President or FORMER President (Hint…HINT?) have any state criminal charges AUTOMATICALLY moved up to THEIR Federal Justice Department so they can shit can the charges?
SERIOUSLY?
Oh, I’m sure that this bill’s fine print would have it ONLY apply to Republicans……
NOT Democrats…..
House Republican leaders are whipping votes on a bill aimed at showing allegiance to former President Trump after his historic conviction — but it’s unclear if they can secure the needed support, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is under pressure from GOP hardliners to schedule a vote on the measure as part of a full-court press to defend Trump, so any difficulty locking down votes could once again put him in their crosshairs.
Driving the news: The bill would allow current or former presidents to move state-level charges against them into federal court. It’s in direct response to Trump’s conviction last week in New York.
- Johnson’s leadership team is making calls to whip support for the measure, the No More Political Prosecutions Act, according to two lawmakers and two other House GOP sources familiar with the conversations.
- But the bill might be a bridge too far for moderate Republicans, who have told Axios they would struggle to support it.
The big picture: Putting the bill forward for a vote is a demonstration of how fervently House Republican leadership wants to stand with Trump….
…
Reality check: Even if the bill clears the House, it has zero chance of being considered in the Democratic-controlled Senate…
