Yeah, you're wrong about point 1. That's not what the bill would have done. It gave POTUS the power to shut it down (whether or not that would pass muster in the courts is another matter). And no one knew any of the details because it was still in the bipartisan committee behind closed doors. Anything prior to Feb 4th was just speculation.
Also, I'm not on Xitter or whatever platform the convict is using, so it took a bit more searching. But I found a posting from the convict that is the same date that Johnson said he was not supportive (though he said it in such a way that he could have gone back on it later and not seemed inconsistent). Perhaps someone with access to that platform can look at the convict's posting history for older postings. That can be used to augment the actual timeline.
It seems very clear that Johnson was responding to the convict's wishes, even stating that such a bill could only pass with a Republican POTUS in the White House (so it wasn't the merit of the bill, but who was going to be occupying the Oval Office).
The more I search, the worse it appears for Johnson and the convict. They had no idea what was in the bill, but were going to kill it anyway (at least two weeks before the text was available).
Albaby pwned you. Which is why a bit of humility is helpful sometimes. He is a font of political information.
