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.

No, they just stole all Trump’s stuff. Even his passport. Totally professional operation.
They wanted to see Trumps passport to build a narrative. To harass him for the next four years with accusations.
The FBI and DOJ work for Biden and Obama. Not the American people.
The Rubicon has been crossed. The communist leaders of the democrat party are proud of it. It is now their FBI. Garland is nothing more than a communist hatchet man. An American Stalinist.
Run, Sarah, run!
He’s Deep State.
What else can you expect?
After all, he's a politician.....more importantly, a REPUBLICAN politician!
“They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant,”
What in the helll!!!??? Is this idiot trying to say that at least the FBI did not kill anyone going in? Talk about hurdling over a low bar.
If I remember correctly, he sort of complained about it at first. Someone got to him to set his mind right.
This is why Republicans lose.
This is why Republicans lose..
Designated Loser Party. Like the basketball team that always played against the Harlem Globetrotters.
Do they still exist?
Asa is proud of that huge hole through his head. . . .
I’d hoped this was The Bee.
smh
I thought this guy was shifty back when he was an “impeachment manager”, SMH.
Indeed makes one wonder how large is our secret service?.
Thankfully he’s about to get retired.
Asa stands for “A stupid @$$”.
He appears just about every week on the Sunday shows because he is a milquetoast RINO who offers the same sound bites one would hear from a democrat. There really is no difference.
The DNCMedia love to promote the R after his name like he can’t possibly be a Leftist like themselves.
I think everyone’s missing the point. There’s a whole lot of Deep State in Trump’s documents, probably. This was the Deep State taking those documents back.
