Sen. Johnson Requests Justice Department Review Allegations of Judicial Misconduct in Wisconsin Case Involving a Former Trump Lawyer
WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi raising concerns about potential judicial misconduct against Jim Troupis, a former Dane County, WI Circuit Court judge who faces criminal charges in Wisconsin. The charges are connected to Mr. Troupis’ role as one of President Trump’s attorneys in the state in the 2020 election.
Chairman Johnson wrote, “because of his role as the president’s attorney [Mr. Troupis’] life has been upended by unceasing political persecutions currently led by Wisconsin’s attorney general.”
“It is difficult to understand how Judge Hyland can make an impartial decision about [Troupis’ attorneys’] allegations when he is directly implicated,” the chairman wrote.
Chairman Johnson called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review Judge Troupis’ case “to determine whether any wrongdoing has occurred.”
The letter to DOJ can be found here.

so interesting that johnson can find it in himself to support this picayune issue while his president is committing multiple illegal practices.
“Chairman Johnson wrote, “because of his role as the president’s attorney [Mr. Troupis’] life has been upended by unceasing political persecutions currently led by Wisconsin’s attorney general.”
Might I suggest that Troupis has had his life upended because of the immoral, illegal, and completely un-American choices he made leading up to, including, and post-January 6, 2021? Whatever “persecution” he has had up to this point pales compared to the crimes he and his fellow conspirators committed.
My hope is that the state of Wisconsin pursues him until his dying day.
Also, I suggest RoJo focus on helping his spineless, gutless, MAGA cohorts in the Senate to finally come up with a “concept of a plan” for the ACA that the right is hell bent on killing. I will run naked in the streets if I ever read that this worthless a-hole does ANYTHING that benefits a significant number of Wisconsinites.
