Republicans also were highly critical of the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray over the execution of the search warrant and about what they characterized as a lack of transparency in sharing information with Congress about a criminal investigation.
“Violence and threats against law enforcement, including the FBI, are dangerous and should be deeply concerning to all Americans,” he said. Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Sen. Charles E. Grassley , said that “at this point we are just waiting to get a copy of the actual search warrant,” while criticizing the FBI over the actions of a former agency lawyer in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The Republican suspicions of the federal law enforcement agencies reflect years of efforts by Trump to cast them as “deep state” enemies that he said falsely linked him to Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.At a news conference Friday, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee urged patience before jumping to conclusions about the former president.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick , a former FBI agent, later explained it’s possible the affidavit remains under seal for two reasons: to keep covert cases and methods under wraps or ensure national security threats are not publicly unveiled.
They don't support American Institutions unless they do what THEY like! 😏 there is no thing anymore as Bipartisan or support for ALL Americans.
President can declassify anything on demand.. this has been revealed several times. It has also been revealed by other GOP that Trump did just that.. declassify the documents that were unconstitutionally obtained by a weaponized government obliterating the ideal of our 4 amendmen
The FBI & AG Garland join a long list of people & things hated by Republicans. Among the list, Americans, voters, mail service w/ a special contempt for vote by mail, public health policies, reality, infrastructure, progress of any kind, rule of law, democracy & America herself.
Smart. Send their crazy voters, with guns, to attack the nation’s best marksmen. They aren’t college kids in black bloc throwing soup cans, those are federal domestic law enforcement.
Says that Trump had a vise-like grip of the GOP…sounds like he’s got them by the balls. Talk about a flock of brain-washed minions.
Trump supporters as bad as him - curious how our own poundshop Trump’s supporters trying to block Johnson investigations - think they are above the law .If they get their way they will be . Sad day for the West when these two gained power IMO
The DA as job to do... Trump is a danger to USA.
And all are basically crying about the fact that Garland and the DOJ are not turning a blind eye to Trump's obvious criminal activities. That pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the GOP .....
Time tells all. Trump such the patriot. When his number called to serve. What was it? Oh yeah, bone spurs. The man sure gets around really well on the golf course for a guy pushing 80 suffering from bone spurs.
Trump won't have physically moved any of those boxes himself. He had help, identifying, collating, packing, moving, unpacking, storing. Who oversaw the operation? Who else saw these? Might anybody else have any classified docs? Might anyone involved have something to say?
Pathetic, but as expected from Republicans.
Trump should have been prosecuted already for Jan 6th. He’s not fit to hold the office of president or even to represent a constituency. He’s a dangerous man and a risk to stability of the world. Secret deals with Taliban never told British, deals with Saudis no doubt, corrupt!
gop = bannana party. GOP STANDS FOR corruption deception oppression. GOPBetrayedAmerica
All this and no reporting on the vitriol that was unleashed on the supreme court and justices as of late Ya think your being a bit of a partisan hack?
Rightfully so. They wanted a political circus
What’s wrong with the FBI , they’re not supposed to investigating no white Republicans
Trump has the 'Epstein' client list...now it makes sense!!!
Republicans have become a blight on American democracy.
Treason
Took them months to judge shop this. After 22 judges refused, they blackmailed this Maxwell associated judge. Inside sources say he was forced to sign off or he would be arrested for 'offences' they had pictures of..
Soviet propagandist
Better result 👍🎉👍
Kudos 💆🙏
Joe Biden’s son is a crackhead who worked as an unregistered foreign agent for tons of countries, but Trump is the national security risk? Yeah ok…
The GQP r running scared
MEDIAPROPAGANDA
The Washington Post liberal media, Trump haters.
These two are wearing the unpatriotic American clothes.
That’s because they’re all culprits of his corruption and crimes. They will be held accountable. They think there’s strength in numbers.
And I say Trump is UNFIT FOR PRESIDENT. I want a law abiding society not a bunch of CRIMINALS running this FINE country down to the level of AFGHANISTAN
Judge Reinhart was also a Obama/Biden donor. Judge Reinhart also had public postings on Facebook bashing Trump. Judge Reinhart also had to recuse himself from another Trump case bc he literally said he couldn’t be impartial yet he signed a phony warrant 1 month later. Hmmmm.
Why didn't Trump turn over the record's when he was asked to last year? He said he would, then he didn't. Was he making copies? What did he plan on doing with them? Is he still in contact with Putin? Or the Taliban? He still has business in China. And don't forget the UAE.
So much for the GOP saying Blue Lives Matter. Instead they target the FBI for doing it’s job to protect us from Trump attempting Espionage !! The GOP are corrupt.
double 0 zero, code named dinky has to realize that he has to pay a price for taking classified material. Did he think he could sell them to his pal little Vlady? Or perhaps there is some incriminating data (as if we need more) in there.
I really hope Garland personally signs off on the warrants when it’s Kevin McCarthy’s turn.
Much deserved.
It’s never Dons fault
It’s the Trump MO: Attack the messenger, or the famous, whataboutism. No surprises here . .
Ridicule and mocking is more like it. And it’s well deserved, too. What an utter crock. Nothing but a brazen attempt to manufacture a reason to kneecap a political opponent. It’s the Tonya Harding strategy, and it must not be allowed to stand. E0-
The Washington post is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 written by 💩 heads. Pure lies and b s
Not unlike the vitriol unleashed by Dems on Comey for confirming the Hillary - uh MATTER. And at Gorsuch and Kavanaugh after Roe. Both parties are scum.
The party of traitorous swine
If by “vitriol” you mean standing up for civil liberties……
That’s what republicans do. Blame everyone and everything but themselves. It’s required in your oath to the GQP.
Since the overturning of Row vs Wade democrats have directed their vitriol at the Supreme Court and republicans. Even a failed assassination plot against Brett Kavanaugh
Republicans have also identified the Capitol police as 'traitors.' Sooner or later, cops realize that 'Sovereign Citizens' who shoot cops on sight are not a bunch of liberals
And rightfully so. FBI and DOJ are engaged in unequal application of the law and violating the civil rights of President Trump and other conservatives under color of law.
Garland finally got nominated in 2016 by President Barack Obama for the seat left vacant by the death of conservative Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. President Trump instead nominated Neil Gorsuch for Supreme Court dumping Garland. And now you know the rest of the story.
6-5 he will be tried.
Remember them!!!!
They can fight it all they want. They can't stand the truth about Trump. He's a Crook. He's always been a Crook and he'll always be a Crook.
Abuse of power is ultimately counterproductive.
So it's ok if Trump tries to overturn the election. It's ok if Trump tries to end Democracy and end our election process. It is okay to bribe a president of another country. Now it is okay for him to do whatever he wants with top secret and highly classified documents. Nice
It should be every American, not just Republicans.
The ex-CIA director weighs in. Wow. It's really serious.
Was this crap written by the dnc
After decades of howls from the so called Party of 'Law & Order' we are finally seeing in real time, how little 'Rrpublicans' know about how our legal system works & how little they care about law or order. See also January 6
…and the FBI and the DOJ deserves every ounce if it. This is nothing but a witch-hunt and you all know it!!!! NotFallingForit !!!! Trump Raid DemsareLiars
And for good reason. If u don't get what's going on, u haven't been paying attention and don't have a clue what day it is.
How sick and twisted are these republicans to get up and defend this low life piece of garbage for disgracing this country they are even worse then Trump! They still and always will lie to defend any an all the lies an broken laws that are in front of their eyes
So did they find the Nuclear launch codes? No leaks that they filling anything like that? Hmmm I wonder why?
Who signed the unlawful order? Every signature should be accountable for the action.
Yah think, heads are going to roll real quick in DC. Federal charges will be filed for illegal search and seizure against Garland and all involved.
This was insane. Who can defend this partisan crap? FBI is a branch of the DNC.
So much for the GOP ad the 'law and order' party nonsense. It's law and order - except for them. No matter what: the loser had documents owned by the government on his personal property AFTER he was subpoenaed to return them all.
He deserves our Vitriol.
“according to reports…”
The GOP what have you become? What do you stand for anymore?
Eighteen months...they sat there...
Evidence shows Democrats have now gone full-Marxist.
Criminals are livid they are about to be held accountable.
Correct and deservedly so.
This is Trump/Russia Collusion 6.0... Hunter already gave the Nuclear Secrets to anyone that would give him money, sex, drugs, even Cheddar Cheese... Now it's time to blame Trump for it...
They sink lower daily.
What classified information did Hilary have on her private email
Like the dem party did. Lolololol. Shut up.
Tabloids like wapo hide the truth
WaPoo
Garland wants revenge for not getting supreme court nomination. Not a nice guy.
Identifying the problem is not the problem
If you could only step back and see this all play out from a movie like perspective. 😅 Like watching the coyote chase the bird. This face flop is going to be the most hilarious in human history. 😂😂🤣🤣
So much for law and order. Not sure what Republicans even stand for anymore.
CULT CULT CULT!!
The raid at Mar-A-Lago had absolutely nothing to do with espionage or nuclear weapons. It had everything to do with the Plain View doctrine, and was a fishing expedition to try and dig up anything that would benefit the desperate 1/6 committee. 💯 facts.
Is trump locked up yet? What are they waiting for?
It is amazing how TDS has brought out the rot in the unitary establishment and cemented the left into an authoritarian establishment wing of American politics.Its like they just can't help themselves.
They are really off the rails, or perhaps, complicit.
Same reason the Italian mafia calls itself family or 'Cosa Nostra.'
Of course. Most prost****** stand by their pimps. He’s been pimping the GOP for years.
DraintheSwamp MerrickGarland
The UnAmericanGOP
Republicans always with their bs 🙄 excuses...like please, please hear us out, we know that Trump didn't mean it he didn't mean it....😭😭😭.....oh please stop🤚🏽 with ur bs
Your next😂
Did the Republicans become a terrorists group? I know that our country have sold through corrupt activities ammunition documents to an Arab state
Nah, we have been pointing out their corruption for many years. Nonstop
Such a disappointment; they followed the wrong branch in the road. They would be better served by attending a Sunday School led by RepLizCheney
Well deserved
The now question is...who did Trump intend to share that information with? Putin? Kim Jong-un?
What happened:”WH officials/Trump have refused to tell House Democrats what happened to a series of interpreter notes transcribed during President Trump’s private meeting with Russian President Putin — notes the president seized personally to keep them from view”. Thx Oslo🇳🇴
That puts agents at risk and is like Jan. 6!!
Wasn’t Nixon pardoned. This is getting uglyy
I gotta hand it to dem’s. They’re probably the most patient people in the world. They been working non stop for 6+ years to put this man in prison but he ant there yet.👏👏👏
3 words, HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP.
These Republicans are snakes 🐍 and cowards let us not forget about the snakes 🐍 on the Supreme court , Terrible and SAD
The DOJ and FBI turning a blind eye to the material on Hunter Biden's laptop and Hillary Clinton's online server (which someone apparently took a sledge hammer to) and treating parents of school children as terrorists is perhaps why people believe they're politicized & corrupt.
Just stunning! What an embarrassment for America! There are only trump cult members left in the Republican Party ..how sad and pathetic.
Because when your guy gets caught criming, you always get mad at the people holding him accountable.
The 🇺🇸 Republican party has in Congress confirmed its no longer a political party. GOP has nullified itself. Europe has been witnessing the dark side of 🇺🇸 for almost 6 years, culminating with Espionage act for the leader. The last development hasn’t come as a surprise.Thx Oslo🇳🇴
WaPo lies for fascist racist republicans
😮🙁☹
Since the kickoff of the latest Dem-fed fishing expedition, Republicans voice the rage of 100 million Americans at the deeply corrupt FBI and feckless AG. FTFY Go ahead and put yourself, your outlet and your colleagues down for a big helping. You’ve earned it.
I love the propagandist wording of this - 'vitrol'. As if the last six years against the 'outsider' hasn't been 'vitrol'? This is obviously a political hitjob - 'espionage act' for a previous president!!! God, the leftists have lowered this country to N Korea levels.
FBI & DOJ are the Cheka. The Stasi. The Gestapo. The Reichzpolizi of the Biden Regime.
Our country is in dire danger read all about it but i get your credit card number. What’s more American?
So fitting the Elise Stefanik’s name was found in Trump’s toilet.
You suck at your job
The GOP haven't got a clue what they are doing bar clutching at straws.
House GOP members do not care about the country
Nope. We hate TWP too.
The Justice Department removed 11 sets of classified documents from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. GOP GOPLiesAboutEverything GOPDomesticTerrorists
If Benedict Arnold committed treason today, the GOP would say the papers proving he was helping the British were fake, or planted by the Continental Army. TrumpTreason
Can you list the jobs held by each House GOP? Perhaps their bios can shed some light 💡 on their lunacy.
GolasKathleen They always have to have someone to hate.
These DemRat BS witchhunts are pathetic and will be dealt with starting Nov 2022.
Their cult leader broke the law so they are mad at the police for searching him
You know damn well TwiceImpeached IS GUILTY!
I find it interesting, if these documents are so dangerous and they are so concerned he is a spy or selling information, why not search his other residences? You'd think they would do that.
such a corrupt 'party'
Well yeah, it's literally their only chance to not collapse as a party, and for many of them, to avoid personal prison time. The only thing that can save them is a power grab, and they're going for it with both pudgy fists.
...and the media and press have magnified it.
The GOP is unAmerican.
Impeach Wray, and Garland!!😡
The Republicans have gone off the deep end
