WASHINGTON – On Sunday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined Maria Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria to slam the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to indict former President Trump, setting a double standard of justice in America. Sen. Johnson also exposed the timeline of corruption surrounding the Biden family’s business dealings that included associations with a convicted money launderer, a corrupt Burisma oligarch, and a convicted felon.

On President Trump’s indictment
“Well, when you consider the exoneration of Hillary Clinton, when you consider the fraudulent and corrupt investigation on Russian collusion, which was a complete lie and the FBI knew it was. You put all these things together. The FBI, the Department of Justice interfered in the 2016 election. In the 2020 election. And here we go again. There’s going to be interfering in the 2024 election. They already have. What a mess. You know, obviously, President Trump is going to have an ability to defend himself. But will he be able to defend himself quickly or is this going to drag on and on and on? So it’s hard not to be suspicious of what the Department of Justice is doing. Once again, as you mentioned, the investigation of Hunter Biden has been dragging on for years. They’re able to wrap up this investigation very rapidly. In addition, they announce it pretty much the same day when the details of the FBI Confidential Human Source was going to be revealed by members of Congress. And I won’t steal the congresswoman’s thunder here, but it’s all it’s all suspicious. And it’s just a horrible mess.”
On the timeline of the Hunter Biden investigation
“But they are investigating Hunter Biden as far back as 2018. So this investigation is moving at a glacier pace. We have a whistleblower coming into our office saying that U.S. Attorney Weiss does not have the resources to do a proper investigation. But what was interesting, Maria, now that this FBI document has been revealed, I’ve gone back and I’ve looked at the timeline. And first of all, you have to understand that the Bidens certainly Hunter, I think probably Joe Biden as well, knew exactly the type of people they were dealing with. Hunter’s business partner who’s also on the board of Burisma, Devon Archer, is now a convicted felon. Patrick Ho, who Hunter Biden was paid $1,000,000 to defend against money laundering charges, Hunter Biden called him the expletive deleted spy chief of China. In terms of Burisma, and that’s what this $5 million sounds like, $10 million of bribe money paid, this is all around Burisma and their corrupt oligarch, Mykola Zlochevsky. He was, his assets were seized by the U.K. in 2014, same time when Hunter Biden and Devon joined the board. In 2015, he was declared officially declared a fugitive. That’s when Viktor Shokin was hired as a prosecutor general. 2015 is, we’ll find out, is when all this activity was going on with the Bidens. 2016 is when Shokin opened up an investigation and within three months, Shokin was fired. And that’s about the same time that Vice President Biden was talking to Poroshenko and demanding the firing of Shokin. So, it’s incredibly corrupt. It’s incredibly dirty. The Bidens knew exactly the type of people they are dealing with, but the mainstream media has, by and large ignored it. But it is interesting, The New York Times at the tail-end of December 2016 or 2015, was actually writing a story about the Bidens and this corrupt oligarch. But then they pretty well dropped the lead.”
On the corrupt weaponization of the DOJ by the Biden Administration
“The complicit, compliant, and corrupt media, they’re not covering this thing honestly. You know, Maria, I also have to point out, you talked about precedent breaking. President Ford decided it’s best for America not to pursue prosecution against President Nixon. President Trump pretty much made the same decision, decided not to pursue any kind of prosecution of Hillary Clinton. You know, Joe Biden could have made the exact same decision, but he didn’t. He allowed a SWAT raid on a very secure residence of President Trump over federal records, even though he was holding classified records himself. So that record issue should have been handled civilly. We never should be even in this place. But these are decisions that President Biden made. As much as he’s probably lying about not talking to the Justice Department at all. That’s pretty hard to believe when you understand how many other lies President Biden has told the American public.”
