Sen. John Cornyn, who regularly gives Ron Johnson a run for his dumbest-man-in-the-Senate standing, is having a day. A day which his staff is going to be very busy cleaning up after. He started out with this remarkable revision of history. "Since the summer of 2016, the Obama Justice Department conducted a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian influence, which lead to a further 2-year investigation of President Trump by Special Counsel Mueller, producing no charges against him." Can you spell conspiracy theory? But that was just the warm-up to the real eyebrow raising spilling of the beans.
"Now, the Trump Justice Department is investigating foreign government influence, VP Biden conflicts of interest, and possible corruption, […] as well as the provenance of the bogus opposition research compiled for the Clinton campaign produced by an ex-British spy, and this is grounds for impeachment?"
Oh, really? The Trump Justice Department is investigating Biden conflicts of interest? Are you sure about that, Cornyn? Well, no, his staff clarified, sort of, saying he "was referring to the ongoing probe led by Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut who is investigating the origins of the Russia probe." His spokesperson doesn't address the elephant in the room—whether Trump has sicced the Justice Department on Biden.
After that, he jumped back into another conspiracy about that CIA whistleblower. In a radio interview, he said that the whistleblower "doesn't smell right," and cites his lawyer "used to work for Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton." He got that from Fox News, of course. But he didn't see the follow-up in which Laura Ingraham—yes, her!—had to apologize for getting that wrong. He'll probably stick to his guns, though, because it turns out the second lawyer for the whistleblower interned for Schumer and Clinton, when he was in college. Twenty years ago. No doubt they hatched this plot against Trump back then.
