Republicans Assault Law Enforcement
In response to the court ordered search of Mar-a-Lago and the recovery of top secret documents, Republicans are attacking anyone or anything that exposes Trump's lies and crimes—including the FBI.
It has been a long week for Donald Trump. The search warrant of Mar-a-Lago revealed that the FBI is investigating obstruction of justice and the Espionage Act violations. New subpoenas of Trump's attorneys and inner circle have made it clear that Trump is the target of multiple state and federal criminal investigations. In response, Republicans are doubling down on lies, accusations, and conspiracy theories that threaten violence against law enforcement agents.
