Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) reacted to the FBI’s shock raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-A-Lago, on Monday, proclaiming that “until Joe Biden denies it, a President just raided a former President – his political opponent.”
“Let that sink in,” Massie added. “There are only three branches of government. The FBI is works [sic] for the current President.”
“Is AG Garland bitter that Trump kept him from becoming a Supreme Court justice? Is that why, according to news reports, he raided Trump?” the congressman added in a follow-up tweet.
Trump also reacted to the FBI raid, writing, “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar- A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.”
“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” the 45th president added.
Meanwhile, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has promised to launch a full-throated investigation into Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FBI’s raid on Trump’s home.
“I’ve seen enough,” McCarthy said. “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,” the House Republican Leader added, before calling on Garland to “preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”

Straight from Biden: “Will no one rid me of this troublesome political opponent?”
"If it doesn't have a justification, the material seized in it will be suppressed."
Alan Dershowitz
An accurate description.
Where is McConnell?
Yep, he'll squawk a lot and deliver a sternly worded letter.
FBI goons.
The FBI is a disgrace to the entire country.
When this stuff started, I considered us a Banana Republic.
When they override State Legislature election laws to run an election, I knew we were no longer a Republic.
When the SCOTUS refused an original jurisdiction case between states on violation of existing election laws, which were supported by Federal Government and Big Corporate money, I knew which direction the nation was headed.
Like most, I remember when the definition of Fascism: Was when Government and Big Corporations jointly run a nation, without the will of the people.
Now, I understand my Great Uncle who was sent to Dachau saying that inside every progressive there was a Fascist waiting to get out.
The FBI raided a President’s home.
What won’t The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate do?
Therein lies the problem - 98% of dem’s and 60% of rep’s are thoroughly and utterly corrupted, bought and paid for. McConnell is a joke.
Sleeping with his Chinese wife.
It certainly has! Now do something other than issuing a statement.
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“”If it doesn’t have a justification, the material seized in it will be suppressed.””
Or leaked.
That’s just it. If there wasn’t materials at the time of the raid, there is now.
US Code 2071 will cancel Trumps ability to run for office. Dems are celebrating.
The “Progressives” wouldn’t chance this without having the fix in place.
There needs to be consequences.
That’s because Biden is not in charge!
In Garland's office. On his knees.
I recall a phone call that Trump made to the Ukraine that absorbed the news for 2 weeks. The accusation was a sitting President was using a foreign gov’t to influence in an election. Sounds like the shoe is now on the other foot, and no one in Congress seems disturbed.
