Following the FBI’s raid of Trump, congressional Republicans are doing what they always do: issuing meaningless statements.
Following the egregious raid by the FBI on former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate earlier this week, congressional Republicans are responding to such Third World, political persecution in the same way they always do: by issuing meaningless statements.
Since the news of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s targeting of Trump broke Monday evening, GOP officials in Congress have released a range of public statements condemning the raid, while offering no real legislative solutions on how to address the blatant, left-wing abuse of power that has plagued America’s Justice Department (DOJ) for years. Take, for example, Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, who after waiting half a day to respond to the story, took to Twitter to issue the weakest remark imaginable.
“Raiding a former president’s home is unprecedented,” he wrote. “The Justice Department needs to quickly and transparently tell the American people who approved this raid and why it occurred.”
Despite his best attempts, Barrasso’s utterly useless tweet couldn’t match the cowardice displayed by fellow GOP Sen. Tim Scott, who during an interview on “CBS Mornings” gave credence to the FBI’s overtly political actions by encouraging Americans to let the situation “play out” before drawing any conclusions.
“There’s been lots of questions before this raid about whether or not the FBI is doing their job apolitical and we don’t know the answer to that question yet,” the South Carolina Republican said. “[The raid] is going to raise more questions, in my opinion. We need to let this play out and see exactly what happens.”

Schumer’s Bitch.
Does anybody really care?
If you do, then someone does...
Most of the Republicans we have elected are Bush League Republicans, Assistant Democrats.
For the most part the majority of the GOP Senators are gutless pure excuses for men/women.
The duller, darker Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Braindead SC voters will re-elect him, just like they have re-elected Flimsey TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.
what are they supposed to do exactly????...THEY ARE NOT IN POWER!...THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO. This is partly Trumps fault by appointing Wray....he should have had his people ready to go when he won. Terrible decisions...
Fer cripesakes, will people ever stop making it look like Republicans are some kind of hapless bumbling fools??
They are not. They are every bit as clever as the Democrats.
There is a reason for everything that happens, and the reason the Republicans are acting the way they are regarding Trump is they agree with what is going on, and they want it to continue.
As Rush used to say, “Don’t doubt me...”
I saw what you did there. I love those guys!!!
I agree. The establishment GOP is every bit as anti-Trump as the Dems, perhaps more so. They are caught in a quandary because of the popularity of Trump with the frank and file. They would cut his throat if they could.
corrrection... ‘rank and file..’
The gop are in too deep now to put up any resistance.
They know what time it is ….time to send more taxpayer billions to the Ukraine.
Just posted this on another thread:
Unfortunately, the Congress is a club and its members — particularly those members who have been there far too long — are hesitant to turn on “their friends across the aisle” whom they have shared laughs and cocktails with for years. This congeniality continues even when their “friends” are presently accommodating and even supporting a tyrannical takeover of the US government.
He record prior to the senate was very clear, yet conservatives still vote for him, just like grahamnesty and the entire rino lineup.
I see what you did there, nice Chicago reference!
Official Chicago transit authority Does anybody really know what time it is?
Is there time enough to wonder why?
Rs should always ask themselves, “What would dems do, if this were reversed?” Then do that.
In this case, stage a walk out, every member in Congress, have press conference on Capitol steps. And refuse to go back to work until Garland resigns! And flood the airwaves, go on every show with the same, hard hitting statement:
“This is something Stalin did. Raid his political opponents. The DOJ and FBI under Garland, Wray, and Biden are corrupt, because THEY are corrupt! Wray and Garland MUST resign, or we will impeach them AND Biden when we get in power in a few short months.”
And nothing else, for a week.
