Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.
He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.
Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.
Shouldn’t these clowns be charged with obstruction of justice?
Yes, but spoiler alert: they won’t.

Exercising regular congressional powers by introducing legislation that cuts funding to a judicial body, regardless of the intent, isn’t obstruction of justice.
When your sole purpose is to use extrajudicial force to subvert justice, how on earth is that not obstruction? Congress doesn’t have unilateral authority to undermine the law for their own gain.
