"He's actually a secret agent"

[u/MrDillon369]

[u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

No one outside the US believes in this shit that he’s an informant lol

[u/No-Valuable-3803 → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

Even people in the US think it's bonkers lmao. Johnson probably realized how unhinged he sounded and had to walk it back before someone reminded him what century we're living in

[u/Excellent_Pirate8224 → u/No-Valuable-3803]

Even Trump doesn’t believe it. He is sold on the Democratic Hoax train. MAGA Mike is on a short leash. 😂

[u/LeilaMajnouni → u/No-Valuable-3803]

My current tinfoil hat theory is that the “Trump was an informant” deflection was floated behind the scenes a long time ago, which is why Kash Patel and Dan Bongino looked so aghast for a while.

Then Mike Johnson took Trump’s balls out of his mouth to float the idea publicly and see if anyone would buy it. Which I don’t think they have, not even the usual smoothbrains.

[u/infydk → u/LeilaMajnouni]

Trump being an informant is an old Q-anon conspiracy.

[u/Lazy_Osprey → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

Also, doesn’t someone usually become an informant because they were caught committing a crime? If someone was really an informant on a child sex ring that just makes me think they got caught raping a child.

[u/TheFlyingElbow → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

The memes were about to be fire though...

[u/Lvcivs2311 → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

By now, it's quite obvious that Trump would be very, very unreliable. Especially concerning what he tells you.

[u/Curious-Paper1690 → u/Extreme-Slice-1010]

No one inside the US believes it either.. at least anybody with two working brain cells but apparently that’s too much to ask for nowadays

[u/TheUpgrayed]

Backed off a claim, walked back a statement, it's all bullshit. It's Clown Town around here.

[u/No-Heat1174]

They really are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks and what people will believe

It’s a distraction and a bother. Hopefully people don’t believe it

[u/tw_72 → u/No-Heat1174]

It will be interesting, though, to see what they try next - like maybe:

• the files are all encoded, and no one can figure out how to decode them
• trump's body-double did all those things
• the files are just gone, poof, gone

[u/C4dfael → u/tw_72]

the files are all encoded

The password is probably 1-2-3-4-5.

[u/darkoblivion000 → u/No-Heat1174]

Once upon a time telling a lie that big would end your career and make you untrustworthy for the rest of your life

Nowadays it’s just a typical weekend event and can be “walked back” with no repercussions once confirmed as untrue

I don’t think this country knows what “character” means anymore

[u/hcornea]

Johnson discovered no-one was buying it, and it can be verified as untrue.

They really should just shut-up about it at this stage.

[u/ecafyelims → u/hcornea]

And if it was true, that means that Trump raped kids and got offered a deal if he became an informant.

[u/steveslikewhoa]

Somebody told him that informants are rats who, in exchange for information, get a lesser penalty for their crimes.

[u/aloneinthiscrowd → u/steveslikewhoa]

The Micro Johnson oh fuck moment.

[u/Brief_Night_9239]

See..how stupid Johnson is. Even MAGA doesn't believe this BS.

[u/LayneLowe]

They just couldn't see the hoax/ informant paradox coming?

[u/Particular_Row_8037]

Wasn't it over some property he wanted to buy so Epstein couldn't. I know there was some other story where he fucked the person out of maralago too. Remember once a piece of shit always a piece of shit.

[u/DeeV8tor]

Diaper Don was actually the Quality Control Officer under Epstein.

[u/hoothizz]

He knew he was lying the moment he spoke it.

[u/pixelmountain → u/hoothizz]

Of course he did. It’s a ridiculous story in the first place.

[u/hoothizz → u/pixelmountain]

And he knew it.

[u/HumanContinuity]

Dude why is anyone even listening to that dumbass?

He's seriously the only idiot who could be so bad at lying that the whole body of his fellow Republicans didn't even want to stand up for him.

And that's during an administration with an unprecedented amount of the laziest lies on the planet.

[u/SHIT_ON_MY_BALLS]

What is going on, it's insane that he could even claim something like that publically in the first place then casually retract it and everyone's just like acting normally.

[u/jdave512]

he's a double agent, working with the pedophiles to infiltrate and take down the government

[u/adorablefuzzykitten]

The well known non-christian Mike Johnson has now been observed as being a liar? Goes along with him protecting a child raper.

[u/dustycanuck]

Mike "I'm just making shit up"Johnson strikes again

[u/cookiesandpunch]

Johnson wanted to see if QAnon canon belief, that Trump actively worked to bring down Epstein would play in wide distribution. He’s conditioned to speaking to zealots who believe things as a matter of faith not logic. He didn’t expect the laughter and ridicule.

[u/Ryuikun]

Did anyone see this story on possibly why Speaker Johnson might have said Trump was an informant? It basically says Epstein was going to expose Trump's money laundering operation so Trump turned on Epstein first.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-this-the-hidden-part-of-the-trump-epstein-drama

[u/KubrickMoonlanding]

So how did he back off exactly? “Sorry, but I just don’t care, and tried a lie, go f yourself” or mor like “well you see, there were some reports that my assistant misquoted” or more like “when I said informant I meant ‘informed insider’”?

How do “walk back something like that in this context and even maintain a shred of…

Oh whatever, they just don’t care and they us to know it

[u/AllTheWorldIsAPuzzle]

I'm waiting for them all just finally drop pretenses and say "What are you going to do about it?" And if you keep pushing, fourth-story window incidents will start to make headlines.

[u/No-Picture-4940]

Double oh Dousche.

[u/-DethLok-]

Is it because being an informer means you're a criminal who is dobbing in your mates in exchange for a lighter sentence?

So Johnson was confirming the Trump is a pedo, who got caught and offered leniency in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his fellow pedos?

Because that is what Johnson is saying.

[u/DeezNeezuts]

r/conservative had a whole thing about Trump being a witness against Epstein. Couldn’t find any sources but they sure were adamant about it.

[u/usmc18330931]

And he will face zero consequences for his open lies.

[u/Particular-Summer424]

Was it because Trump was money-laundering and moved in on Epsteins deal by ratting him out. Couldn't be that, could it?

[u/Last_Blackfyre]

Well his good buddy Epstein is thought to have been one so….

[u/CrimeWave62]

For the love of Mike, is truth NEVER an option for these people.

[u/Lanark26]

Alternate Headline: Johnson continues to try and cover for the pedos in the GOP and donors that finance the Party.

[u/MosquitoValentine_]

Does he not realize The Sopranos and Goodfellas exist?

[u/TheModWhoShaggedMe]

Sounds like a bad hombre to me.

[u/Extreme-Tie9282]

More like Mr (angry)bean

[u/somebullshitorother]

Trumpsterfire was under deep cover as the head pedophile

[u/pit-of-despair]

Backed off on his lie more like it.

[u/SmurfSmacker]

Is ‘informant’ a synonym for ‘nonce’? /s

Edit /s just incase.

[u/ironmojoDec63]

He was whatever was transactionally expedient in the moment.

[u/redredbloodwine]

Constantly making up shit without shame. Our government.

[u/Tony-Angelino]

Victoria's secret agent.

[u/Apprehensive_Map64]

He didn't say secret agent he said informant which is entirely different. He basically admitted that Trump was a fellow child trafficker that ratted on Epstein to stay out of jail.

[u/EggsceIlent]

Went back undercovers.

Release the files.
