Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) is making some noise in the House.
He believes he can use the budget as leverage to help Donald Trump out of this indictment fiasco.
He is talking a great game, but there is one major problem with his plan.
Defund the DOJ
Clyde wants to defund the DOJ for the cases against Trump.
He stated, “Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have no place funding the radical Left’s nefarious election interference efforts.
“Together, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis intentionally brought four sham indictments against the sitting president’s top political opponent, President Donald J. Trump, as the upcoming 2024 presidential election ramps up.”
He continued, “The American people get to decide who wins the White House — not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump since he announced his first bid in 2015.
“It is imperative that Congress use its power of the purse to protect the integrity of our elections, restore Americans’ faith in our government, and dismantle our nation’s two-tiered system of justice.
“I’m fully committed to helping lead this effort, and I call on my House Appropriations colleagues to join me in this righteous fight.”
That all sounds great, but there is a problem here.
If the bill passes the House, how does he expect it to pass the Senate?
If the bill passes the Senate, does he really expect Joe Biden to sign it and halt all the investigations into Donald Trump?
Sadly, this legislation has no chance of ever passing.
