     #FactCheck:

     #Trump delivered a rambling post - #conviction monologue that was filled w/ false claims [lies] on subjects ranging from the Manhattan #TrumpTrial to #immigration to #TaxPolicy.

     Here is a fact check of some of the inaccurate or unsubstantiated claims he made.

     “So I think they’ll set this straight,” #MikeJohnson said, “but it’s going to take a while.”

     He added later: “I think this court will do the right thing, because they see the abuse of the system right now.” [I think THIS court will do the wrong thing, they abuse the system constantly]

     Speaking on Fox, #MikeJohnson said he knew some of the justices on #SCOTUS personally [I bet he does] & believed that they shared his view that #Trump was a *victim* of *unfair & politically motivated* [fair & impartial] prosecutions. He also suggested that the #legal system was biased against Trump & other conservatives [I mean, c’mon, seriously?].

     #House Speaker #MikeJohnson on Fri urged #SCOTUS to intervene in #Trump’s appeal of his #felony #conviction, by overturning the decision & granting him #immunity from prosecution.

     “I do believe the Supreme Court should step in,” Johnson told #FauxNews. “Obviously, this is totally unprecedented.” [neither the #law or not the #crime are unprecedented, plenty of #precedent, it’s just the #criminal committing the crime that’s new].

     “#America just witnessed a confused, desperate, & defeated Donald #Trump ramble about his own personal #grievances & lie about the American #justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” #Biden communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.

     #Republicans are mostly standing by #Trump after he was found #guilty on all counts in his #ElectionInterference #FalsifiedBusinessRecords NY trial.

     But a few are suggesting abandoning Trump as the #GOP nom.

     Surprisingly, fmr congressman #MoBrooks (R-AL), a once loyal Trump ally, posted after the #verdict Thurs that the GOP “faces [a] choice.”
     
“Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future,” Brooks said, or “replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!”

     #HouseRepublicans are summoning Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg to #Congress after #Trump’s #conviction on all counts in his #ElectionInterference #FalsifiedBusinessRecords NY trial.
     
The #House #Judiciary Cmte’s select subcmte on the *weaponization of the federal government* on Fri invited #Bragg & one of his prosecutors, Matthew #Colangelo, to testify on June 13. The cmte said the hearing “will examine the unprecedented political prosecution” of Trump.
     
The cmte is led by #GymJordan.

     Okay honestly trying to make sense of #Trump’s “remarks” or attributing any sense to them is pointless. He is all over the place, rambling, throwing in the occasional recognizable rally line. It’s just nuts. He is lying nonstop & sounds crazy. And it’s still happening.
