DeSantis Responded To FBI Raid At Trump’s Home!
Mike Pompeo, the former secretary of State, and other GOP leaders responded to the FBI raid of Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago. Donald Trump said it was “currently under siege, raided, and occupied” on Aug. 8.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump commented.

Republican leaders condemned the raid and issued a couple of warnings that such a move would set a dangerous precedent, but others accused the Biden administration of weaponizing the Justice Department for political purposes.
“The apparent political weaponization of DOJ/FBI is shameful. AG must explain why 250 yrs of practice was upended with this raid,” Pompeo wrote. “I served on Benghazi Com where we proved Hilliary (sic) possessed classified info. We didn’t raid her home.”
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. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.

This raid is linked to an investigation about Trump’s handling of official papers.
Christina Bobb confirmed that the FBI looked for documents.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated that the raid of Trump’s home is “another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents.”
Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for alleged tax fraud, lobbying crimes, and money laundering from 2018.
“Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? The Banana Republic,” DeSantis said.
“Time will tell regarding this most recent investigation. However, launching such an investigation of a former President this close to an election is beyond problematic,” Graham wrote.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn said ‘’ Bill and Hillary Clinton took $28,000 worth of furnishings from the White House. Obama violated the Presidential Records Act. Why did the FBI not raid their houses? This is a political witch hunt to take down President Trump.”

Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Minority leader, said the justice department had reached “an intolerable state of weaponized politicization” and vowed that, when Republicans take back the House, they will “conduct immediate oversight of the department, follow the facts and leave no stone unturned.”
‘’Attorney General Garland: preserve your documents and clear your calendar,” he added.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk stated that the raid was unprecedented and highly concerning. “If the FBI is looking for classified info or incriminating evidence, they should start with Hunter Biden’s laptop.” He added the hashtag “#Demdoublestandard.”

Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, said: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Countless times we have examples of Democrats flouting the law and abusing power with no recourse.”
“Democrats continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans. This raid is outrageous. This abuse of power must stop, and the only way to do that is to elect Republicans in November,” McDaniel continued.
The Epoch Times reached the FBI for comment, but they refused to give one.
The GOP lawmakers condemned this FBI’s move, but the Lincoln Project stated that the raid is a “positive sign that Donald Trump may be brought to justice for the myriad of criminal offenses committed by him and his family while President.”
“Never before has a former President’s home been raided in a criminal probe. While this search warrant is seemingly for the mishandling of classified material, it is a serious crime that must be fully investigated,” the group said. The raid was the “first step for law enforcement, or Congress, of holding Donald Trump accountable for the orchestration of a conspiracy to remain in power that resulted in the January 6th attack on our nation’s capital.”
Furthermore, Trump expressed his frustration, alleging in his Monday statement that it represented part of the political persecution which targeted him for years “with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!” he wrote.
“Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries,” Trump added. “Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.”
