"For the American legal system to work and truly live up to the standard that justice should be blind, the application of criminal statutes should not be used selectively against political opponents. The Department of Justice lost credibility in the eyes of many Americans over the past decade, on multiple levels, and they need to be held accountable for their politically motivated actions. "Distrust breeds resentment and anger in our communities when there is no transparency and no accountability for such unprecedented actions. FBI Director Wray and Attorney General Garland need to immediately explain to the American people, and to Congress, why this search and seizure was necessary. Anything less than full and complete transparency on their part will further divide our nation and is a miscarriage of justice. "If Democrat leaders in Congress won’t lead an investigation into this unprecedented FBI raid, I am confident that Republican leadership will conduct strong and appropriate oversight." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
