Criticized by Matt DePerno for his lack of competence and knowledge about how forensic audits work
According to DePerno, they’ve raised $317,190 in donations to their legal defense fund to date. “We have spent over $1.5 million so far, on this case,” DePerno said, asking, “What does he [Johnson] think it costs to run a forensic investigation with a team of experts?” The fearless attorney blasted Johnson for his lack of understanding about what goes into a case like the one he’s working on in Antrim County. “That just shows the level of utter incompetence that we have in our state legislature,” DePerno exclaimed, adding, “This just shows that they’ve done no internal investigation into how much a forensic audit like this costs.”
Called Republicans “Idiots” If they don’t show up in future elections
