GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy to Merrick Garland: "Preserve Your Documents" After FBI Raid of Mar-a-Lago
Red State ^ | 08/08/2022 | Joe Cunningham

Posted on 08/08/2022 8:41:41 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

GOP Leadership in the House has responded forcefully to the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, with GOP leader Kevin McCarthy directly calling out Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee tearing into the FBI for the raid.

McCarthy’s statement was straight to the point.

Attorney General Garland: preserve your documents and clear your calendar.

McCarthy’s tweet came hours after former President Donald Trump emailed supporters announcing the FBI was raiding his home in Mar-a-Lago. Trump was not at the resort at the time of the raid. It also comes after Garland in recent weeks indicated he was serious about moving forward on investigating the former president in relation to the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee had strong words for and about the FBI after the raid became public. There is currently no indication that anyone on the Judiciary Committee or at the White House was made aware of the raid before it happened and was announced by Trump.

If they can do it to a former President, imagine what they can do to you.

Individual members of the committee also had comments to add.

Hunter Biden skates free while DOJ executes a political plot to destroy lives of political opponents. This is un-American and @Jim_Jordan led Judiciary Committee hearings in January can’t come soon enough!

In third world countries and banana republics they prosecute the former presidents/leaders and their staff. Right now, we look beneath them. We are in a race to the bottom.

The Republicans are currently expected to take the House of Representatives in the November midterm election.

The raid appears to stem from classified documents that were removed from the White House and taken to Mar-a-Lago. The National Archives have been working for months to get those documents back to no avail. There does not seem to be any link between the raid and the Jan. 6 investigation put on by a separate House committee and one from the Justice Department.

It’s time for the GOP to stand up to the RATS. Especially der kleine führer Garland. The far left has pushed that boy over the edge.

The regime is weaponizing the FBI against political opponents like Biden’s old boss did with the the IRS, the FBI, the intelligence community, etc. And all the #Democrats support it. Every. Single. One.

One more reason to be glad we kept Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court. He’s dangerous enough as Attorney General.

Preserve your documents? And why would he think the FBI would do that? That is the classic appointment of the fox to guard the hen house.

The FBI is utterly corrupt, from the top to the bottom. Down to the bottom because there is no outcry and resistance from the agents.

Maybe they should raid EVERY DC politicians home to make sure they’re not hiding any classified documents. I’d start with the multiple Pelosi and Obama mansions.

Would that be the same National Archive that sat back and literally watched Sandy Berger steal documents on behalf of the Clintons?

The Speaker of the House (McCarthy?? Ha!) has no authority to issue an order like that.

Congress can’t arrest anyone.

Do you think Pelosi can order your arrest?

Just wait. When FReepers get rid of Roberts Garland will be CJ for the next 30 years.

I think they are frightened, and have more or less decided that it’s time to make their move.

Trump isn’t dangerous, but he’s a symbol. Within an hour of his arrest, there will be a massive wave of other arrests and Biden will be retired.

They’re trying to make him a martyr so our side will get violent and give them an excuse to indulge their desire to arrest or kill US, to get absolute power. It’s called the top down-bottom up strategy.
