Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told reporters Thursday he did not recall signing a letter urging reforms in the office of the Ukrainian prosecutor President Trump has alleged former Vice President Joe Biden improperly had ousted, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.
snip====================================================================
CNN on Thursday reported that three Republican senators, including Johnson, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and then-Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) signed a 2016 letter urging urgent reforms to the Prosecutor Generals office and Judiciary.
"I send out all kinds of oversight letters ... I don't know which 2016 oversight letter you're referring to so I will look at that and then we'll issue a press release, statement, or something but I don't engage in hypocrisy. I'm looking at getting the truth, Johnson said when asked about the letter.

(10,833 posts)7. Selective memory appears . . .
to be epidemic in the Republican Party. The one thing they should NEVER be allowed to forget is that they supported, made excuses for and groveled at the feet of Donald Frigging Trump, a man who has been/is the biggest security threat to the United States of America.
Never forget, never forgive.
Traitors deserve no pity.
