Sen. Chuck Grassley says FBI ‘must immediately explain itself’ after raid on Mar-a-Lago

Judiciary Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Tuesday said the FBI’s credibility was “one the line” following the agency’s raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

“Less than a week ago, I expressed serious concern that what little remains of the FBI’s credibility is on the line following its inconsistent handling of politically sensitive investigations, failure to hold its own employees accountable for misconduct and consistent disregard for congressional oversight,” Grassley said in a statement. “Last night’s raid on the home of a former U.S. president without explanation will only further erode confidence in the FBI and the Justice Department.”

Grassley said he reiterated his concerns to FBI Director Christopher Wray. He advised said if the agency isn’t transparent about the justification for Monday’s raid and isn’t committed to rooting out political bias, it “will have sealed their own fate.”

He's not the only one who are demanding at least a briefing.

No words from an FBI spokesperson, no comments, no news conference, no closed door briefings...Nothing...zip.

Yeah, this whole thing is really odd. Neither the DOJ/FBI nor Trump’s people are providing any details about any of this.

Translation: we actually approve of what the FBI did, we just can’t say it publicly.

I don’t think he’s genuine.

He stepped aside, something you don’t see, so Lindsey Graham could block all Investigations of Joe Biden, and allowing Graham to threaten Trump to get Deep State appointees in place.

He stepped aside and let Lindsey run the Judiciary- only while Trump was Prez.

They all knew what they were doing.

Grassley is facing Election now.

But Trump and his people didn’t raid anyone. It’s the FBI who needs to at least brief our representatives.

Yes, but both sides have a lot more details as to what this is about then we have right now. And if the FBI won't talk about it, then Trump's folks should.

Plus, even if the FBI did have a briefing, you'd expect it to be rather one-sided in their favor anyway, and so of less value.

Just kind of weird that nobody is talking about the details.

Don’t fall for the crap on TV.

The search warrants don’t have to be truthful - and likely accused of things that didn’t happens

The guys that went to Epstein’s boy to get a raid - when no one else anywhere gets Raided (Holder, Comey, Clinton, Clinton’s team with Classified info on their devices, Hunter, Ashley’s diary, Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr’s spy wife, Rosenstein, and on and on)

You assume these people would be honest in writing the search warrant, why?

And they got a FISA approved to, for surveillance, I’ll bet.

Inquiring mind want to know.

It’s like being in Germany, circa 1943. And Trump was right, this is exactly what happens when the corrupt in 3rd world countries are threatened with being removed from power or criminally exposed.

What was it like 30 hours of questioning (Perjury Traps) - the President’s Son (Don) sat thru with the Senate Intel Committee ?

How many hours of questions did Hunter sit through?
