Hey @SenRonJohnson, if this is true, NAME THEM. https://twitter.com/joshdcaplan/status/1293608176043139073?s=20
If this is true, then the Republicans blocking the Comey/Brennan subpoenas are pictured here.

Since I'm pretty sure not one Democrat would vote for subpoenaing Comey and Brennan, that's 6 votes against.
Republicans are 8 votes on the committee.
That means at least 2 have defected. My $'s on Romney and Portman.

Wait, people are misunderstanding. I posted a picture of EVERY REPUBLICAN ON THE COMMITTEE **except** for chairman Ron Johnson.
What I mean is, at least **TWO** of the people pictured here are blocking the Brennan/Comey subpoenas, not all of them. It's 2 or more.

I'm sure Romney is one of the blockers. It's a guess as to who the other 2-3 blockers are.
I think Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Johnson and Scott would be yes votes, but that's only 4 votes.
I don't know enough about any of the others except for Romney & Portman, big RINO's.

AND THE PLOT THICKENS.
I just went back and checked. THIS IS CORRECT. Johnson, by all statements made at the time, was GIVEN authority to issue these subpoenas by the committee MONTHS AGO. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1293624472180854796?s=20

It turns out Ron Johnson suddenly proffered the EXCUSE that other Republican members of the committee were **blocking** the subpoenas to Brennan & Comey while he was being **strongly pressed by @hughhewitt in an interview. https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1293562674685640708?s=20
Johnson just throw out this excuse to cover his own ass? https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1293552535219982341?s=20
This looks bad for Johnson. https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1293624999035711501?s=20
More from Hugh: https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1293628836278669313?s=20
If it turns out Johnson **has** had the authority to issue these subpoenas **all by himself** because the committee **gave him that authority** back in June, and he just invented some BS excuse to make @hughhewitt back off during an interview?
I am gonna be PISSED.
I am gonna be PISSED.
CONSIDER ME OFFICIALLY PISSED AT @SenRonJohnson!
What a coward. He's had full subpoena authority since June 4 given to him by his own committee and he's REFUSED TO USE IT to subpoena Comey or Brennan & he THREW HIS FELLOW REPUB. SENATORS under the bus to keep from admitting it!
