Thread: NEW: Sen. Ron JOHNSON told an interviewer this week that he expects his investigation "would certainly help Donald Trump win reelection." The Biden camp is crying foul.

Johnson framed his investigation in starkly political terms during two radio interviews this week, also said evidence he uncovered "should completely disqualify Biden from president."https://t.co/IyB3lPAKgE

To Democrats, JOHNSON's comments echoed Kevin McCarthy's in 2015, when he told Sean Hannity that the House's Benghazi investigation had succeeded in damaging Hillary Clinton's political standing. https://t.co/IyB3lPAKgE

JOHNSON is increasingly besieged on all sides — accused of amplifying Russian disinfo by Democrats, of being too timid with his subpoena power by Trump allies, eyed warily by some intel officials.

He says Dems and media are trying to destroy him.
