Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he is concerned by the FBI's raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, but urged Republicans to stop "attacking" rank-and-file FBI personnel and calling to defund the law enforcement agency. "This unprecedented action does demand unprecedented transparency," the vice president said about the raid last week. "I also want to remind my fellow Republicans: We can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,"
Pence made the statement to applause at the "Politics and Eggs" breakfast at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire.
He acknowledging that he and Trump, under whom he served all four years, have had a tense relationship following the 2020 election. Still, Pence said, he was "deeply troubled to learn that a search warrant had been executed at the personal residence of a former president of the United States." "The Republican Party is the party of law and order," he continued. "Our party stands with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at the federal, state and local level."
FBI officials are concerned about increased threats facing agents after the raid.
Last week, an armed man allegedly attempted to breach the FBI's Cincinnati Field Office visitor's facility. He died following an hours-long standoff.
"These attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police," Pence said, going against calls from some Republicans such as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to defund the FBI after the raid.

He needs to urge the FBI to stop acting like the Stasi.
Only words, Pence. Free speech and all. Talking blows off steam.
Pence would be better off urging us to continue, then we might stop just to spite him.
I want to publicly urge Pence to stop torturing innocent puppies.
Then legislate and do the job.
He’s pick his side.
But its ok for Democrats to attack border patrol agents?
He had no chance in 2024 anyway.
Pence always come down on the side of the establishment.
Pence needs to tell the FIB to stop targeting Republicans.
“This unprecedented action does demand unprecedented transparency,”
No, it demands completely precedented accountability.
FUMP!
He’s a fake, always was. Does whatever “mother” tells him to.
Pence was to Trump as Bush was to Reagan. An establishment spy placed there to reign him in. He is trash.
This guy is such an F’N pantywaist!
“Pence was to Trump as Bush was to Reagan. An establishment spy placed there to reign him in. He is trash.”
That is exactly right!
Politicians need to remember the population doesn’t want to hear them talk like “Karens” as if they’er hall moderators..... rather than address the issues we have concern about.
Just stop!
Sorry, Race Bannon, but the FBNI has gone off the rails here and deep scrutiny followed by considerable reform is necessary to depoliticize the FBI and limit it to performing legitimate law enforcement duties.
That means:
1. No more entrapment of people the Democrats don’t like.
2. No more lying to suspects.
3. Allowing videography of FBI agents in the course of their duties.
4. No more falsification of warrant applications without severe penalties that include defined prison terms.
Well Mikey, when they act like GOONS and THUGS what do you expect? I’m sure it was nothing they did to cause this response, RIGHT?????
