Arkansas Gov.: ‘If the GOP Is Going to Be the Party of Supporting Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement Includes the FBI’ (uh, no it doesn't)

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said last week that the GOP shouldn’t blame the FBI agents who raided Mar-a-Lago, because they were just doing their job and carrying out “a lawful search warrant that a magistrate signed off on.”

“Well, if the GOP is going to be the party of supporting law enforcement, law enforcement includes the FBI. As a United States attorney, I work with the FBI, the DEA, the federal law enforcement agencies. Those folks on the ground do extraordinarily heroic efforts to enforce our rule of law, which is fundamental to the Republican Party and to our democracy,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“The FBI is part of that, and so, yes, we need to pull back on casting judgment on them. No doubt that they have -- higher-ups in the FBI has made mistakes. They do it. I have defended cases as well, and I have seen wrong actions, but we cannot say that, whenever they went in and did that search, that they were not doing their job as law enforcement officers,” Hutchinson said.

“If you want to hold people accountable, it is the Department of Justice. It is the attorney general, who said he supervised that. 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,” the governor said.

“They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant. So, let's be -- let's support law enforcement. Let's stand with them. Whether it's the DEA, the FBI, or your local law enforcement. That's critically important that we do that, because they're simply trying to do their job and to keep anarchy away from our country,” he added.

You see how tricky they can be, conflating two different things.

We DO NOT need a national police force, armed to the teeth, and used to intimidate the people.

It's similar to the British moving troop headquarters from Halifax to New York and then landing troops in Boston to intimidate and quell any rebellion (unsuccessfully it turned out).

Asa Hutchinson has become quite the liberal tool of the media. Thank God he's gone in January. He was a McConnell minion when in the Senate.

There’s a difference between supporting any and all law enforcement, and supporting DIRTY COPS. There are some rotten apples in every profession and nobody supports them. The FBI just happens to be swimming in corruption currently.

There’s a huge difference between Constitutional Law Enforcement and an armed political arm of government that has been corrupted to the core.

The Uni-Party loves their armed political stasi.

Remember, no matter how far, wide, and deep the corruption may appear, it’s actually a lot worse.

What laws have they been enforcing? They won’t let us know.

For me, the guy who is going to pay the biggest price for this kind of nonsense is Ron DeSantis.

That’s because I have no intention of ever voting for another lawyer in any election.

I stopped reading right there.

Constitutional Republic!

Every time I see/hear that now I think 'our Deep State'.

Report: Documents Show Biden White House Involvement in Trump Criminal Probe

STORY TO DATE ——With the alleged “Trump crime” staged by power-mad Dems, the National Archives and the DOJ still needed a legal hook, and apparently, they got it.............directly coordinating with the senile Biden acting gig.

That’s been revealed via memos reviewed by ace reporter, John Solomon’s.....”Just The News.”

Asa Hutchinson has let it be known that he has sided with the Deep State/the Establishment.

He is another example of how the enemy isn't just the Democrat Party.

The enemy is the Deep State.

Trump knows this, which is why the Deep State is out to destroy him. Trump and his army of voters are an existential threat to the Deep State.

And the Deep State is an existential threat to our freedom.

He’s a pathetic excuse for a Republican

The “media” can count on tools like him, Pence, Graham, Cheney et al to give them the sound bites they request

Like clockwork with these bastards

According to EX.ORDER 12829, the National Archives Information Security Oversight Office, which has responsibility for classified information government wide, reports to the National Security Advisor. The same Jake Sullivan who promoted the hoax about Trump campaign computer connections with Russia on behalf of the Clinton campaign.

-——————————·—————————————
........in consultation with....... and subject to the approval of the National Security Council........

National Security Council.......that would be Obama go-fer......Susan Rice.

Hey Asa, you assa, do you remember a cop from New York, one of the largest Police Departments, named Serpico??

Serp saw CORRUPTION and did something about it.

When the leaders of the Law Enforcement Agencies create a Cancer among the ranks...there MUST be those good souls who come forward.

It appears that this is exactly what is happening.

Praise the LORD.

ASA, when the Law turns BAD...good people cease to support them.

Are you too stupid to figure that out????

It's not about sharpness. It's about choosing sides in the upcoming war.

There are only two: The Deep State and its plans for a dictatorship against freedom-loving Americans.

If we let the Deep State win, Hutchinson was sharp...really sharp.
