Right Wing Blogger Chuck C. Johnson Says He’s “Defying an Illegal Subpoena”
Right wing smear merchant Chuck C. Johnson (who is NOT ME) has been accused of paying a shady witness to lie about participating in a vote-buying scheme purportedly orchestrated by the Thad Cochran campaign in Mississippi, and last month he was subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury investigating the issue. In typical Chuck C. Johnson fashion, he posted the subpoena at his website even though it explicitly said he was forbidden from revealing its existence.
And today, this ace right wing “journalist” announced on Twitter that he’s going to defy the subpoena entirely, and refuse to appear.
This is not going to end well for him.
Today I have defied an illegal subpoena issued by AG Jim Hood for committing journalism in California by exposing voter fraud in #mssen.

Stenographers for power in Mississippi may well criticize me for refusing to appear in a kangaroo court but you & I know the truth.
