Sen. Ron Johnson to release interim report on Biden probe 'in about a week'

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said on Monday that he will soon release an interim report from his months-long probe involving the Obama administration and Hunter Biden.

"Stay tuned. In about a week we're going to learn a whole lot more of Vice President Biden's fitness for office," Johnson told GOP activists during a video call, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Spokespeople for Johnson didn't immediately respond to an email about the remarks.

The timeline comes after Johnson initially told The Hill that he wanted the interim report out by Sept. 15, which was already a slip from the pre-August recess target date that he was initially aiming for.

The same ratf*cker who downplayed Russia meddling in our election -

and who will now release a "report" before the November election...

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a33419403/ron-johnson-senate-investigation-russian-influence-campaign/

This was a story that got swamped over the past week, but Politico landed a strange one concerning Senator Ron (Shreds of Freedom) Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, and his recent transformation into a laundromat for overseas ratfcking.

Among the Democrats’ concerns is that a Senate investigation being led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has become a vehicle for “laundering” a foreign influence campaign to damage Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to two people familiar with the demand. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded the all-Congress briefing Monday, citing “specific” intelligence that a foreign influence operation targeted lawmakers to “launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity.” Though the letter did not mention the Johnson investigation, it included a classified addendum that the two sources say identified the probe as one of the sources of their concern.

In reading this, I couldn’t help but remember that Johnson was a member of that group of Republican senators who took a weird trip to Moscow on the Fourth of July in 2018. There’s something not right about that, still. And Johnson’s apparent interest in this new investigation seems to be an election-year effort to inflate the Hunter Biden story again.

have started urging everyone to use the phrase "....fitness for office..." when referring to Joe Biden. It would be hilarious if not childish and pathetic.

...Biden should not defend himself.
Call them lies or fake news and leave it at that.
Perhaps a "I won't dignify that sham with a comment." would be ok, as well.
But, defend nothing.
