GOP Leadership in the House has responded forcefully to the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, with GOP leader Kevin McCarthy directly calling out Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee tearing into the FBI for the raid. McCarthy’s statement was straight to the point. McCarthy’s tweet came hours after former President Donald Trump emailed supporters announcing the FBI was raiding his home in Mar-a-Lago. Trump was not at the resort at the time of the raid. It also comes after Garland in recent weeks indicated he was serious about moving forward on investigating the former president

Mitch "MultiUseless" McConnell is probably wondering if he can finish writing a stern letter without Chuck approving it.

The FBI is a disgrace to our country. Six years of this witch hunt and nothing but a waste of taxpayers dollars.

#2 - The FBI is more than a "disgrace" - they have become a criminal organization.

I take this raid as a most serious shot across our republics bow.
What’s going to happen next?

Do they even understand the precedent they are setting? Obama, Clintons and possibly Cheney/Bush could now be fair game for a future investigation. They really do not want Trump running again.

It’s well past time to fight back with EVERY means available, and forget the “strongly worded “ letters. These leftists must be destroyed by any means possible.

Is Garland, the little Nazi, going after President Trump to try to get the focus off Hunter and his dad, the "big guy"? It sure didn't take us long to become a corrupt Third World country under the biden cartel.

With very few exceptions, "GOP leader in Congress" is an oxymoron. Waiting for nothing to happen as usual.

Sadly for The American people, Kevin McCarthy is a eunuch and his whimper has no bite. A feckless opportunist without any real courage.

Well, another precedent that we can use once the Republicans take control in 2023 and 2025.

Good for McCarthy. Make the corruption of the DOJ front page news. Any word from McConnell? I thought not.

Republicans like McCarthy just want power so they can say they have power. They typically don't do anything with it, but it's nice to have.

When we take back the WH, House and Senate, it is time to end the FBI. This is beyond me. I will tell you one thing, if this raid does not wake up Trump's base, nothing will. I think the democrats just political committed suicide.

So the Deep State wants to provoke a civil war. Why? Because they fear Trump AND the rest of us that much.
Civil war? For starters, Red state governors: no longer cooperate with the FBI, ATF, and IRS (to name a few). In fact, kick their field offices out of your state. Inform 911 dispatchers to respond to calls and detain, and arrest any FBI/ATF/IRS agents attempting to gain access to individual residences.
Gov DeSantis, post County Sheriff Deputies/FHP at MAL residence. Do not recognize any warrants served by DOJ/FBI from here on out.
Respond to Deep State accordingly with their next move.

I would wager many of our Republican leaders are waking up to knowledge that they cannot allow this democrat outrage to go without some sort of response. They certainly do not want to wade into this but they know their constituents will expect a vigorous response. What to do, what to do? They will do the least amount possible. I honestly doubt McConnell as leader will do much at all. He knows he is tied to the deep state and needs Trump out of the way if he is to survive any potential investigation into his business dealings with the CCP should President Trump be re-elected. The crooks are in a panic and their only option is to destroy Trump. Even when their cause is a just one and this one is, they prefer to do nothing which is why we are in the shape we are in. When it mattered these deep state Republicans did nothing. I don’t expect anything else from them now. They will put their sorry hides above the rule of law and find a way to blame Trump.

Trump has never said or done anything to invite this level of vitriol and hatred. They are afraid of him. And by extension they are afraid of us. There is a conservative movement and we are powerful if we want to be. There is a huge light shining on the corruption, anti-American hatred, and culture killing rampage going on in Congress and in the Biden Administration. Don’t be cowed. Be angry.

A lot of the talk today is people saying the FBI raid on Trump’s home was excessive and unnecessary because they should have been able to get the documents with subpoenas or some other way. Where is all this coming from? This was the perspective of Fox program hosts last night, but it seemed that they sited other disinformation-gathering news organizations like the AP and CNN for the source of this information.
Call me skeptical. If the raid was unnecessary, why did they do it? I think that they are not just looking for classified documents which are being maintained at Mar-a-Lago according to National Archives document retention regulations (according to Dan Bongino). They are still in search of a crime – any crime!

Okay, if the FBI arrests Trump, and he dies in prison like Jefferey Epstein, will anybody have the balls to do anything? Asking for a friend.
Meanwhile, Nany Pelosi risks WWIII so that her son can make a few million dollars from Taiwanese kickbacks.
When everyone, and I mean everyone, gave up their First Amendment rights because of a flu outbreak, I knew that this was coming.
And if you protest, the FBI will have you arrested for insurrection and jail you without trial for years.
The "Climate Crisis" is worse than Covid so you have to give up all ten of the Amendments, and I'm sure that you will.
Try Googling "Scientific Papers on Climate Change". Anything that mentions "Green House gases" is complete BS. And most of the papers refer to consensus and scientific agreement. That ain't science, that is politics! By what magic mechanism does increased CO2 heat the earth? Asking for a friend.
Better put up that "Hate Has No Home Here" sign so that the Nazis know not to raid your home, at least not yet.
