Hutchinson: FBI ‘simply carrying out their responsibilities’
The Hill ^ | 08/14/22 11:31 AM ET | BY JULIA MUELLER

Posted on 08/15/2022 10:10:50 PM PDT by RandFan

Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Sunday defended the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, saying critics in the GOP need to “pull back on casting judgment.”

“The FBI is simply carrying out their responsibilities under the law, a lawful search warrant that a magistrate signed off on. And they didn’t go in there with FBI raid jackets. They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant,” Hutchinson said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” calling on fellow Republicans to “stand with” law enforcement.

“If the GOP is going to be the party of supporting law enforcement, law enforcement includes the FBI,” he added.

Hutchinson said Attorney General Merrick Garland “did the right thing” by asking a judge to unseal the search warrant Friday but added he has outstanding concerns and questions about Monday’s search and the classified documents reportedly found by the FBI.

“There is some urgency in it because this is unprecedented, the search of a former president’s home. The American public wants to understand that,” Hutchinson said.

“The biggest question is why and how. Why were those documents there? Why did the White House believe that they wanted them there, presumably, if that was the case?” he added.

I agree. There have been times when we liked him. I just
think he gets lost in the tulies once in a while. He does
blow it from time to time.

That’s not good either, because people become attached when
he seems sound, and he can lead them off point when he
pops off like this.

I don’t understand. Was the FBI carrying him around in their pocket that he knows how they did everything right? This guy is a fraud.
The never before done raid doesn’t even pass the laugh test.

“He was a Bush appointee to the Dept. of Homeland Security (thus connected to the intelligence community that he’s defending),”


Also head of the DEA under Bush II

Tell me about it. I live up north unfortunately in New York where all the leftists live, but I always thought southern states were more conservative. What happened? Why are they always electing these RINOs?

Why is it so common for so-called “republicans” or “conservatives” to abandon their party, the principles they espouse, and the voters who trusted them and instead, support leftists in opposition to all of the above?

Yet it is uncommonly rare, if ever, to see democrats wander off the democrat plantation to support what is best for America in opposition to the leftist agenda!

Democrats march in lockstep to the tune of their leftist leaders no matter how crazy, dishonest or anti-American the agenda while republicans wander all over the landscape instead of adhering to their oaths of office and the US Constitution!

Now add it up. What do you think the Deep State/The Establishment is going to do to prevent Trump from returning to office?

Postscript: Unfortunately for the FBI and the rest of the Deep State, their raid on Mar-A-Lago is proving Trump right. The Establishment in America has become a self-perpetuating, out-of-control Beast and must be cut significantly in terms of size and power.

No, Hutchinson is what Lenin and his Bolsheviks called a “useful idiot”. He advances the worst of their policies, puts a seemingly moderate face on them, and is cast aside to the gulag once he is no longer needed.
