from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
More:
' “There is nothing in Senators Johnson and Grassley’s reports on Biden family corruption that has ever proven to be untrue,” Johnson spokeswoman Kiersten Pels told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. “Anyone who ties Senator Johnson’s legitimate and accurate oversight work to Russia is amplifying a despicable lie that Democrats spread in 2020 to discredit the senator’s work and protect Joe Biden.”

But Parnas on Wednesday presented himself as at the center of what he described as Trump’s push to dig up dirt on Biden. He said he was “designated the point person in every matter they pursued” and said he would meet with conservative news outlets and Trump confidants to spread information he said came out of Russia.'

Must be a dreadful job to be RoJo's spokesliar.

I wish I could rec your post 100 times. The empty wheelers will be here to remind us that we don't know anything about DOJ activity, even as Russian friendly senators & representatives continue to run for office without any legal repercussions at all.

Same article, further down:
'Asked by Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin how he and Giuliani were able to amplify the false allegations in the U.S., Parnas said Fox News and other right-wing outlets helped push the narratives.

He added: “But then there was also other people that were doing the bidding for the Russian (sic) — people in Congress, like Sen. Ron Johnson, like Congressman Pete Sessions, who sits here right now, that was with me from the very beginning of this journey into finding, digging dirt on Joe Biden.”

Parnas later testified that Johnson "jumped on board" the effort to help disseminate the unverified information on Capitol Hill.'

Can Wisconsinites recall Ron Johnson?

...

This is why Wisconsin, like many states, adopted a way to replace elected officials who strayed too far from the will of the people. Wisconsin added the recall to its constitution in 1926, but it has never been successfully employed to remove a member of the state’s congressional delegation. As calls to recall Johnson multiplied, some commentators dismissed the possibility immediately, not due to the heavy political lift, but because they didn’t think it was legal.
