Outrage was the word of the night among Trump supporters and even ordinary Americans on Monday after news of the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home broke. The unprecedented invasion of Mar-a-Lago by upward of 30 FBI agents put a quick end to Republicans’ consternation over the Senate’s passage of the inaptly named “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Fox News immediately pivoted to a no-commercial format as anger filled the airwaves. Pundits and legal scholars agreed that such an action would not have been carried out without the approval of both FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. And wondered why such a transparently partisan move would be allowed just 90 days ahead of the midterm elections.
Republican lawmakers, Trump supporters and even Americans who are not fans of the former President and likely future presidential candidate, were stunned by the Biden administration’s blatant weaponization of the U.S. system of justice. And people want answers.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, widely expectedly to become the Speaker of the House if the GOP wins back control of the chamber in November as anticipated, posted a brief statement to Twitter on Monday night. He wrote, “The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization.” He vowed that Republicans will “conduct immediate oversight” of the DOJ, “follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned.”
He concluded with a warning to the weaselly attorney general: “Preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”

McCarthy’s House colleagues shared his exasperation over the Democrats’ willingness to upend the rule of law in America in order to defeat a political opponent.
Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana took to Twitter to point out the glaring double standard between the DOJ’s kid-glove treatment of Biden’s wayward son and their partisan attacks on Trump.
Hunter Biden skates free while DOJ executes a political plot to destroy lives of political opponents. This is un-American and @Jim_Jordan led Judiciary Committee hearings in January can’t come soon enough!

The DOJ and the FBI have gone too far this time. They no longer even try to hide their motives. In doing so, they’re turning America into a banana republic.
The folks who brought us the Trump Russian collusion hoax, two needless impeachments and countless other frauds are destroying our country and no one has ever been held accountable because their cronies control the levers of power.
Fox News host Dan Bongino was the angriest I’ve ever seen him. In an appearance on the network’s show, “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Bongino called the raid “some third world bulls**.” And he’s absolutely right. The FBI has morphed into the Democratic Party’s Stasi.
In the video below, Bongino rightly tells Watters the FBI has now lost complete credibility. He compares their unwillingness to prosecute Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden for actual wrongdoing while repeatedly inventing reasons to pursue Trump.
Most importantly, in order to save the republic, he calls on Republicans to get out and vote for GOP candidates in November regardless of how they may feel about them personally. Here is an excerpt from his remarks. [Emphasis added.]
“The management of the FBI has now shredded any single shred, sliver of credibility this agency had left. Nobody will take them seriously from this point on. It is over. You’ve heard the examples, [former Trump adviser Roger] Stone, [former Trump campaign manager Paul] Manafort, [former Trump attorney Michael] Cohen, over and over. Are they good guys? Are they bad guys? I don’t know. I don’t care. I don’t know them.
“All I’m telling you is you cannot tell me we still live in a constitutional republic and not the freakin’ third world when you have Hillary Clinton paying foreign agents to interfere with an election. People lying under oath repeatedly. Hunter Biden doing crack on tape and what happens? Where are the federal agents? They’re not in Malibu. They’re not in Chappaqua. They’re in Mar-a-Lago.
“This is some third world garbage that happened tonight. And I’m telling you, the FBI management, here’s the solution. Last thing. We have now got to win in 2022. You have no choice now folks. ‘Oh, we don’t like the swampy Republicans.’ I don’t like them either. Republicans may not be the solution to your problems, but Democrats are certainly the cause of all your problems right now. If there was ever a clarion call to remove your a** from the seat and go vote in 2022, this is it.”

This means voting for Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz even if you consider him to be a “squishy” Republican instead of his opponent, the far-left John Fetterman. And backing far-right Republican state senator Doug Mastriano rather than Democratic Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro in the state’s gubernatorial race. And so on.
The damage inflicted upon our country by the agencies that are tasked with enforcing our laws has reached a perilous level. American freedom is in serious jeopardy.
And sadly, that’s not hyperbole.

I actually believe McCarthy might lead that investigation, this time. I don’t believe I’ll count on it, much, until the day he changes his name to Joe, though. Bernie Kerik even went as far as saying what I believe is very possible, as the next time it may be an assassination, and not just an attempt. What happens if that happens is the left just started a bloody and violent war, and it will be deserved.
I can’t think of a single thing that would make the left get so unhinged, like their attitude about Trump, but at this point, I don’t care. It’s time to do what the left does to babies. Use your imagination…
With all the knowledge we have learned from the Russia collusion thing, Hillary and her server, Hunter and his crimes and the left unleashing ANTIFA and BLM, it’s really past time for a serious correction, not an investigation.
We live in a civil society. At least it used to be. That needs to be restored, and to borrow one of the left’s radical org’s name, “By Any Means Necessary.”
Let the Dismantling of The Permanent Government, the So-Called Deep State Begin. But we must, first off, WIN ELECTIONS. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT INCUMBENT and EVERY SINGLE RINO MUST BE REPLACED at the first opportunity.
