Tuesday 9 August 2022 03:13 AM Republicans vow revenge on FBI in response to 'rogue behavior' as it raids ... trends now
Republicans are vowing to get revenge on the FBI if they take back Congress in November in response to the 'rogue behavior' of the agency after it raided Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida on Monday night.
The former president said on Monday that the Florida home was 'under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents' - reportedly raided as part of an investigation into whether he took classified documents with him when he left the White House.
Several GOP leaders slammed the DOJ for the raid, and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy vowed revenge on the agency.
McCarthy called out US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Twitter, telling him 'preserve your documents and clear your calendar.'
'I've seen enough,' he wrote. 'The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization. When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned. Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar.'
The raid on Monday night comes as Trump is considering another bid for the presidency and his actions after the 2020 election, where he tried to invalidate Joe Biden's victory, are under investigation by lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Trump's son Donald Jr. son slammed the Biden administration and the DOJ for ripping the country apart with the raid.
'Biden's out of control DOJ is ripping this country apart with how they're openly targeting their political enemies. This is what you see happen in 3rd World Banana Republics!!!
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis echoed the sentiment, comparing Biden's administration to a regime and and America to a Banana Republic.
'The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime's political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves,' DeSantis said. 'Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the raid 'rogue behavior of communist countries, NOT the United States of America!!!'
She tweeted: 'The FBI is raiding President Trump's home in Maralago! This is the rogue behavior of communist countries, NOT the United States of America!!! These are the type of things that happen in countries during civil war. The political persecution MUST STOP!!!
