What are Republican leaders saying?

Surely it's no time for crickets?

Surely they are not going to wait to see what happens before they defend him?

After all, they know he would never do anything criminal.

But, if the story is true, and there is no reason to believe it is not, it is probably something the FBI was required to do? After all, they recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from Mar-a- Lago a few months ago. It would have been the height of neglect and irresponsibility to take his word for it that there were no more documents there. They had to search to see if there were more.

Also, Trump offered no resistance to taking the boxes at the time. He willingly offered them up. It was a very laissez-faire moment. Go ahead. Take them, he offered.

But were there documents that may have been missed? The only way to know for sure was to get a search warrant and search the entire premises. In my opinion, that is a likely scenario of what happened. But, no one in the media knows for sure what they may have been looking for?

they run away from the cameras whenever TFG did something stupid.

Maybe some running for office will comment and defend TFG to get into the good graces of the TFG cultists.
