After news of the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home broke on Monday night, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responded by openly threatening Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization,” he said in a statement. “Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”
Think about this for a second. Here you have the likely next speaker of the House claiming without the tiniest shred of evidence that the Justice Department is persecuting a former president — and vowing to use his authority to punish them as a result. His response to his baseless claim of the politicization of investigative powers is to promise a politicized investigation of his own.
McCarthy was far from alone. Trump, who confirmed the raid in a lengthy statement, called it “an attack by the Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024” — an allegation that set the tone for much of the party in the wake of the dramatic FBI operation.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the leading non-Trump candidate in the 2024 GOP primary race, called the raid “another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents.” Florida Sen. Rick Scott, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called it “3rd World country stuff.” New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking House Republican, called for “an immediate investigation and accountability into Joe Biden and his Administration’s weaponizing this [Justice] department against their political opponents.”

But that's what happens when from childhood on they're told that Republicans are the ultimate evil and whatever happens to them is justified while Democrats are the salt of the earth and can do no wrong.
I have a problem with this......it’s just more talk when they should be putting the 8th coil on the noose.
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the leading non-Trump candidate in the 2024 GOP primary race”
Huh? First I heard of that.
I don’t think they’re out of touch - they’re the enemy!
People likely wondered where all the Nazis, block captains, stazi, police battalions, etc. came from.
Turns out they were always there. When the opportunity comes to reveal their true nature, these types take it.
The “without evidence” bit is a hoot.
The entire tissue of lies about the 2016 election came directly from the FBI.
“Without evidence” my Aunt Fannie.
L
Just wait,
dipschit.

So proper legislative oversight is now “threat”
Liberals are born defective.
The Communists have jumped the shark on this one. They are running scared and the chase is on for their ass and it needs to continue full throttle.
ROTFLMAO! Oh there’s no evidence we swear! None at all! All those one sided investigations, altered documents, coverups of obvious crimes by prominent Democrats, just a figment of your imaginations. Really! We mean it!
they’re trying so hard to wish it into existence.
he’s not in the race ... and he won’t be ... not in 2024 anyway ...
Agreed. And even if he did decide to run, all announcing it this early would do is unleash the propaganda arm of the dnc to attack him incessantly.
He’s way smarter than that.
Eric Olson who won the primary in Wisconsin yesterday is telling Real America’s Voice we have to “WAIT AND SEE” regarding the FBI raid. He won’t condemn it. He refuses. I think he was endorsed by PDJT.
WTF, Wisconsin?
Alternate Headline and sub-line:
Lefty E-Zine Declares House of Reps Lost for 2024!
Declares McCarthy “NEW” Speaker!
You expect action? Any action taken will be called an obvious FBI operation by freepers anyway. The left has won, deal with it.
