Nolte: Mitch McConnell Finally Weighs In on FBI Trump Raid with Limp Statement
Breitbart ^

Posted on 08/11/2022 9:52:43 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made a fool of himself Tuesday evening by finally releasing a limp and late statement about Monday’s outrageous FBI raid on former President Trump’s private residence.

Although the raid on Mar-a-Lago occurred Monday, McConnell said nothing all day Tuesday. In fact, when asked to comment on it Tuesday, he refused.

Then, at long last, Tuesday night, the Senate Republican leader — no doubt under pressure — found the time in his schedule to comment on an event that will almost certainly be remembered as one of the most corrupt acts of law enforcement in this country’s history:

“Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately.”

Oh, and he “called for a ‘thorough and immediate explanation,'” according to the Hill.

That’s it.

That’s all McConnell was able to summon after the FBI committed one of the most blatant abuses of power in American history.

That’s how McConnell responded after the Biden administration spent some nine hours raiding the home of a former president, who also happens to be Biden’s top reelection rival for 2024…

But, you see, this abuse happened to Donald Trump, and Mitch McConnell doesn’t like Donald Trump, so what’s the big deal?

Fox News primetime anchor Laura Ingraham agrees that McConnell fumbled badly. “Limp and Late,” she tweeted after McConnell released his statement.

Limp & Late.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin added, “Weak and pathetic.”

This is in sharp contrast to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) immediate statement on Monday night promising a full investigation

McConnell would have looked more principled by remaining silent. His “late and limp” statement Tuesday evening only proves he knows he made a mistake not commenting earlier.

If the administration (as they claim) did not know then everyone involved should be fired and prosecuted for “depravation of civil rights under color of law”

As should happen to any rogue cops

McConnell and his wife are also up to their eyeballs in financial shenanigans. He knows if the DOJ/FBI wants to, they can take him out at any time. They have him on a leash.

It was a home invasion by fascist domestic terrorists carrying likely fully automatic assault weapons of war.

The FBI was spying on Trump, again.

The raid was generated by FBI source.
The raid apparently didn’t find anything. Safe empty.
They looked into things they shouldn’t, because they were looking for incriminating SPYGATE documents.
People say they didn’t know are lying, because the root of the raid was illegal use of government assets for POLITICAL SPYING.

The entire story is that McConnell, Biden, the FBI, NSA, are involved in government assisted illegal political spying. Yes, I believe McConnell was in on it too. Yes, I think Trump knew and set them up.

That’s my take on all of it.

good point

and it has always been that way to one degree or another with all politicians

One reason the destruction of Trump is an absolute imperative Top Priority national security issue that the FBI must spearhead

kinda surprised they haven't just taken out Trump with a drone yet

.
The Few Leaders at the top of GOP absolutely LOVE Chris Wray.

The persecution of Conservatives was approved by both parties.

Joe does as he pleases because there is no organized Resistance to him.

They get their money in the next bill.

Mitch could not care less as long as the Gaystapo does not knock on his door.
