House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy promised to investigate the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Attorney General Merrick Garland following the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago abode Monday.
“I’ve seen enough,” McCarthy said in a statement. “The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization. When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned.”
FBI agents executed a search warrant early Monday over allegations that Trump took classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after he left office in January 2021, according to multiple sources. Trump announced the raid had taken place in a statement late Monday, decrying it as “prosecutorial misconduct.”
“Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar,” McCarthy said, implying his intent to bring Garland before Congress should Republicans regain the majority.

He won his primary, and I pretty much expect that he will win in the general. The voters will have to hold their nose again, because they must NOT vote for a Democrat!
Is there any difference between him and a democRAT?
That’s news to me.
Empty rhetoric Kevin. Been hearing from the Republicans all my life.
As usual nothing is ever done by either party unless doing something harms Americans
Exactly. All talk, no action.
TOTAL LIAR!
“IF” the feckless GOP takes the House McCarthy the fag will issue a statement saying “we don’t want to rehash the past...we need to look forward...” blah blah
I DO NOT WANT THEM TO TAKE THE HOUSE BACK!
Merrick Garland is nothing but a filthy little creep!!!!
Earlier this year, Harvard (my graduate alma mater) held a special event om the Sunday after Commencement to honor the pandemic-stricken classes of 2020 and 2021. Harvard chose Merrick Garland to give the address at that session.
In NO WAY should Merrick Garland have been honored by Harvard—or by anyone or anything else!!!! He is just SCUM!!!! And he proved it by authorizing the raid of President Trump’s home yesterday!!!!
I hope that the next Congress—and or the next Administration—will give Merrick Garland what he really deserves—a prison sentence for abuse of office!!!! PHOOEY!!!!
I do!!!! But I want them to choose a new, ultra-MAGA leadership team!!!!
They wont.
Even if this RINO fart in a whirlwind actually tries to do something the FBI/DOJ will simply ignore congressional subpoenas and if they do testify it will be no comment and no you can’t see any documents. That assumes these self-proclaimed holier than thou, we know better than you, America’s moral arbiters known as the deep state bother to show up.
When congress gave up the purse strings they gave up their power...
I have zero faith in the GOP.
I have faith that the GOP will do nothing.
Betting on GOP nothingness is always a safe bet.
Well, I have less than zero faith in the GOP.
Republicans often mistake words for action. Producing results is just not their thing.
Exactly. There are probably more Republicans who are happy about this than Democrats, and I think many of them knew about it beforehand. The Republicans are thrilled to use this raid in campaign ads. They hate Trump and want him out of the picture, just as the Democrats would love to dump Biden. They may try to buzz up some nut to go after Biden and blame it on Trump supporters. I wouldn’t put it past them.
