Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is set to unveil a resolution next week blasting former President Trump’s call to remove funding from the FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) over the federal investigations into him.

Schumer sent a letter to his Democratic colleagues in the Senate on Tuesday that he is presenting a resolution to “defund” the federal law enforcement agencies.

“Donald Trump’s call for defunding federal law enforcement agencies is a baseless, self-serving broadside against the men and women who keep our nation safe,” the letter states.

“The former President and his allies in Congress must not subjugate justice and public safety because of their own personal grievances,” Schumer continued.

I am so sick of all of this!! The constant hypocrisy and “condemnation” of every, single, little thing Trump does, said, did years ago ... It’s pretty clear to me that a signal is being sent ...

If Trump is not found guilty (high chances he will be, in NY with a rigged jury) then they will never, ever allow him (or those who support him) a single minute of rest.

Meanwhile the Biden family runs rampant ... money laundering, sweetheart deals, “art” gallery deals, drug use & lying ... don’t even mention creepy pedo-sniffing acts of “The Big Guy” ... Gah!

Republicans better come together on this one. There are weak minded pussies all over the place, including FR. They are afraid or unable to make the argument. If you truly value your rights and law enforcement, then you want law enforcement to be local. If you have read the constitution, then you know it doesn’t give Congress the power to establish federal law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement falls squarely under the 10th Amendment. If you are the least bit conservative, then you understand huge amounts of tax dollars are wasted when they are wash through the Washington bureaucracy. You only see pennies on the dollar in local benefit.

The FBI is corrupt and weaponized against law abiding citizens. We need to defund and shutter the entire FBI. Send these transvestites to the unemployment line, if not prison.

More like “raze and rebuild”

[Eagles6]

So Schmuckey is taking time to have the Senate attack the First Amendment rights of a private citizen.

Lt's go, Brandon and Schmuckey!

Great so then we can ID those in the GOP who we need to replace.

“against the men and women who keep our nation safe”

From who? Catholics? Old ladies who walked across the capitol lawn? Pro-lifers?

Condemn me too Shmuckie. I go further and ask the entire departments to be burned to the ground and the ashes scattered to the wind. They are irredeemable and the “men and women” who work for the organizations are all part of the democrat party stasi.

For a guy who announced the “six ways to Sunday” vindictive DOJ, Schumer aught not feed that beast.

[meyer]

Should defund the senate too. They’re beyond useless.

[struggle]

Republicans should just run out to a microphone with a file full of illegal actions the FBI took against minority criminals and have a good time watching Chuckie scramble.

“Freedom of Speech”

If you have read the constitution, then you know it doesn’t give Congress the power to establish federal law enforcement

Do you think there should be federal laws? If so, who enforces them and how is that enforcement paid for?

Oh they will come together all right. The resolution will pass 94-0. Six are on medical leave.
