OF THE
TIMES
Trump announced that the FBI was raiding the Palm Beach, Florida location on Monday, and with Republicans claiming it was a weaponization of the DOJ. Now the Democratic Cuomo is saying the Justice Department has to provide information to show that this is not the case.
"DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations."
Cuomo, who has both clashed with and worked with Trump during the latter's presidency, did not appear to be saying this to defend Trump, rather to make sure his fellow Democrats do not lose credibility as they investigate the former president's role in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol protests.
Trump said the raid "was not necessary or appropriate," stating that he had been cooperating with government agencies.
A number of other Republicans have already been criticizing the raid - or at least the way in which it was conducted.
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a warning to Attorney General Merrick Garland that extensive oversight by Republicans in Congress will be heading his way.
"Attorney General Garland: preserve your documents and clear your calendar," wrote McCarthy.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem blasted Biden's FBI, calling the agency's actions "un-American" in a statement posted to Twitter Monday evening.
The legal and constitutional precedents are absolutely clear that no ex US president can be subject to any form of legal inquiry, persecution or prosecution for any acts appertaining to their role as president, including their rightful access to, and holding of, documentation pertaining to their time as president (that is why ex presidents set up and and oversee presidential libraries).Post your proof of the claim you just made that a former president is immune from accountability or crimes for what they did when they were president. Go ahead pussy.
Jumping to a violent, intrusive Rambo style raid sanctioned by a magistrate - yes, a magistrate.. a low level political appointed hack of a magistrate with close ties to Jeffery Epstein - tells you everything you need to know as to why this raid happened;"To set the record straight". How do you explain the cozy relationship that I proved between pedophiles Trump and Epstein?
Dwoods44 The FBI invasion of a private home is a political police state tactic.False.
Comment: This ill-conceived move against Trump may have larger, more damaging implications. Fox News reports: ...I see it as a deliberate provocation, exactly for that purpose.
If Hillary, Obama or Hunter gets raided = "Law And Order"
