Hutchinson: FBI ‘simply carrying out their responsibilities’
The Hill ^ | 08/14/22 11:31 AM ET | BY JULIA MUELLER

Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Sunday defended the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, saying critics in the GOP need to “pull back on casting judgment.”

“The FBI is simply carrying out their responsibilities under the law, a lawful search warrant that a magistrate signed off on. And they didn’t go in there with FBI raid jackets. They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant,” Hutchinson said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” calling on fellow Republicans to “stand with” law enforcement.

“If the GOP is going to be the party of supporting law enforcement, law enforcement includes the FBI,” he added.

Hutchinson said Attorney General Merrick Garland “did the right thing” by asking a judge to unseal the search warrant Friday but added he has outstanding concerns and questions about Monday’s search and the classified documents reportedly found by the FBI.

“There is some urgency in it because this is unprecedented, the search of a former president’s home. The American public wants to understand that,” Hutchinson said.

“The biggest question is why and how. Why were those documents there? Why did the White House believe that they wanted them there, presumably, if that was the case?” he added.

I would love to see the “control” file they have on him. On second thought maybe I wouldn’t. 🤢

From Wiki:

"The six founding shareholders in Fortress America, in addition to Hutchinson, included former U.S. Representative Tom McMillen, former U.S. Senator Don Nickles, and a private-equity firm that had former CIA Director James Woolsey among its partners.

On May 4, 2006, Hutchinson had filed a financial disclosure form he was required to submit as a candidate for governor. The form did not list his 200,000 shares in Fortress America, which were trading at about $5 per share. "Just totally an oversight", Hutchinson said when questioned by the media in June."

He's a duplicitous lawyer from Arkansas. Where have we seen one of those before? He was a Bush appointee to the Dept. of Homeland Security (thus connected to the intelligence community that he's defending), and has openly stated he may run for the presidency in 2024.

It’s a shame that NO ONE has mentioned that the FBI Agents were carrying M4 machine guns when they raided President Trump’s home. These weapons are in clear sight in several photographs of the raid.

That’s what the RINOs said for almost 3 yrs with the Russia Hoax.

They just want to keep Trump under attack.

The SS also claimed they were carrying out their orders. That doesn’t make it right.

Dan Bongino and Crenshaw should have picked up on this. Pathetic.

It’s convenient that the traitors are self identifying.

The same holds true for the Paris police in the Jew roundups in 1942 and 1943. They were simply their responsibilities. The directions from Germany was processed through the police agencies and the roundups were done in accordance with completely correct organizational protocols.
