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.

    That would require elected officials to act in good faith. Used to be you would want your elected officials to uphold the law even if it conflicted with party interests. Nowadays the law only applies to the minority party.

          dems hold the senate and the white house. Republicans barely have the majority at all and we both know that the pubies only hold the house because of partisan gerrymandering.

          at the end of the day minority means a group of people that’s smaller than the largest group of people.
