Republicans' War Against Law and Order

[schmidlap]

The Trump goon attack on outnumbered police defending democracy on January 6, 2021 was an outrage for all Americans who respect our laws and those who defend them, but the House GOP continues to target the nation's chief law enforcement officers and their agencies.

​

Inside the House GOP’s plan to go after FBI and DOJ​

Republicans are escalating a multi-pronged fight against their two biggest political boogeymen. It goes far beyond just trying to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland.​

​

House Republicans are taking their fight with the FBI and Justice Department to a new level — weighing punitive steps against both agencies that would have been unfathomable a decade ago.​

​

Half a year into their majority, and with an increasingly restless right flank, the House GOP is ready for a confrontation after a spate of recent decisions it sees as either anti-Trump or pro-Biden. At the top of the list: Hunter Biden’s plea deal with federal investigators and Donald Trump’s indictment over his handling of classified documents... ​

​

That push against the FBI and DOJ will become a cornerstone of Republicans’ agenda in a chaotic back half of the year. Speaker Kevin McCarthy has already threatened to explore impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland. Conservatives have also gone after FBI Director Christopher Wray, weighing whether to force a vote recommend booting him from office.​

​

Additionally, some conservatives who believe the agencies have targeted Republicans are eager to cut the law agencies’ budgets...​

​

[Inside the House GOP's plan to go after FBI and DOJ]​

Despite their hyper-partisan furor and schemes to cut law enforcement funding, their principle targets - Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith - are not, nor have they ever been, Democrats. FBI Director Wray is a Republican who was appointed by Trump, as is Judge Cannon who is overseeing Trump's criminal case in Florida. The FBI agents who recovered classified document stashed at Mar-a-Lago who, along with their families, received death threats, were apolitical, public servants.

McCarthy's current perversion is an Outhouse Divided Against Itself, not a defense against imaginary partisan bias.

Graham told officers on Jan. 6 to use their guns on rioters

​

Is Trump above the law? Attacking law enforcement won't make him so.

and, unsurprisingly, the MAGA cult's two prior bêtes noires, FBI Director Comey and Special Counsel Mueller, were also Republicans.

You have to wonder about lefties when they become hysterical at the drop of a hat these days. I guess it beats talking about the Biden criminal enterprise. You almost have to laugh when they scream "republicans are against law and order" when congress performs it's Constitutionally required oversight on federal law enforcement. Does the left wing fantasy include an out of control gestapo that is responsible to no one? The ATF came up with an insane plan to ship thousands of illegal weapons to Mexican drug cartels and one of the weapons turned up in the murder of a Border Patrol officer. Nobody was arrested or fired. The FBI used a faked "dossier" that they purchased from a foreign agent (who may have had ties to Russia) to try to destroy the president of the United States. Who investigates the investigators?
