Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said last week that the GOP shouldn’t blame the FBI agents who raided Mar-a-Lago, because they were just doing their job and carrying out “a lawful search warrant that a magistrate signed off on.”
“Well, if the GOP is going to be the party of supporting law enforcement, law enforcement includes the FBI. As a United States attorney, I work with the FBI, the DEA, the federal law enforcement agencies. Those folks on the ground do extraordinarily heroic efforts to enforce our rule of law, which is fundamental to the Republican Party and to our democracy,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“The FBI is part of that, and so, yes, we need to pull back on casting judgment on them. No doubt that they have -- higher-ups in the FBI has made mistakes. They do it. I have defended cases as well, and I have seen wrong actions, but we cannot say that, whenever they went in and did that search, that they were not doing their job as law enforcement officers,” Hutchinson said.
“If you want to hold people accountable, it is the Department of Justice. It is the attorney general, who said he supervised that. 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,” the governor said.
“They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant. So, let's be -- let's support law enforcement. Let's stand with them. Whether it's the DEA, the FBI, or your local law enforcement. That's critically important that we do that, because they're simply trying to do their job and to keep anarchy away from our country,” he added.

no matter how unlawful law enforcement can be, let’s support them.
what a maroon.
is asa short for a*******...?
Asa is an ASS….
The Swamp is deep and wide.
With the astonishing lack of whistleblowers, I contend the FBI is either fully corrupt or entirely innocent and misrepresented. I have a feeling it’s the former.
the FBI no longer enforces laws.
Let’s all support Brandon,too.
Without question.
That is what the Founding Fathers regarded as a 'select militia', based on the English experience. They found select militias repugnant.
or they just planted the evidence.
or just made it up.
RINOs like Asa better start wising up. We support law enforcement. We also believe in the US Constitution and the rule of law. When the FBI abuses the Constitution and laws it hurts law enforcement. We don’t want that because people lose respect for the our constitution and laws. That leads to lawlessness. After all, anyone that knowingly breaks the law doesn’t respect the law. Some might say that they don’t respect law enforcement, thinking they can get away with breaking the law.
And what if the “law enforcement” break the law?
Most responsible adults have no interest in a Beltway existence. Lawyers are a notable exception. The political figures in recent years who have risen to the top in my eyes were conspicuous in that they AREN'T lawyers. In addition to Donald Trump (real estate developer), I would add Rand Paul (medical doctor) and Thomas Massie (engineer) to the mix.
Those agents were following orders.
Just like the police.
Raiding a Republican’s home and stealing sh*t from his wife’s closet with an election coming up is an “extraordinary effort” against Republicans while raiding a commie RAT politician’s home only to share coffee and donuts with an election coming up is an “extraordinary effort” against “democRATS? BS.
I will be glad when this RINO is replaced here. I know Sanders has faults but at least she is aligned with President Trump.
Hutchinson is exactly they type of tweeb Republican that lied to the base for the last 40 years and is one of the main reasons the country is in the position it currently is. He is a deep member of the uniParty, cannot be trusted and should never hold office as a Republican again.
The RINO is strong with this one.
The Gestapo was a law-enforcement entity also you ignorant man.
ASA needs to learn how to PARSE his words.
His speech writers need to, also.
Hey Asa, get out of Sarah’s house!
