House Speaker Mike Johnson intensified his defense of Donald Trump before headlining a party fundraiser in Illinois on Saturday, as even this deep blue state’s Republicans seized on a Manhattan jury’s guilty verdict as a rallying cry for the former president.
Johnson, who like many one-time critics of Trump has long since come to his defense — and who said immediately after the verdict in Trump’s hush money case that the Supreme Court should “step in” — told reporters here Saturday that if he was Trump’s attorney, “I think I would make an appeal to the Supreme Court.”
The best an appeals court can do is order a new trial based on abuse of discretion by the judge with regardstothecourt proceedingsand jury instructions. In the end of the day, a crime was committed, even if the motivation for bringing him to trial is political.

A big backfire for the Dem's - a chief prosecutor who won't charge you if you steal a car but insists that hush money to a porn star decades ago is a threat to the existence of the US.
