Pence demands 'full accounting' from Garland on Mar-a-Lago search

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday said the FBI’s raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence undermined public confidence in the justice system and called for a “full accounting” from Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“I share the deep concern of millions of Americans over the unprecedented search of the personal residence of President Trump,” Pence wrote on Twitter. “No former President of the United States has ever been subject to a raid of their personal residence in American history.”

“After years where FBI agents were found to be acting on political motivation during our administration, the appearance of continued partisanship by the Justice Department must be addressed,” he continued. “Yesterday’s action undermines public confidence in our system of justice and Attorney General Garland must give a full accounting to the American people as to why this action was taken and he must do so immediately.”

Trump announced on Monday a large group of FBI agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

Hey Mikey, he tried to kill you. Quit being a human doormat.

[durablend]

1. "Deep concern"

Reminds me--have we heard from Suzie yet?

[Irish_Dem]

5. GOP senators are oddly quiet today.

They got their marching orders from McConnell.

McConnell is showing a rare smile today I bet.

[woodsprite]

2. And Pence isn't really in a position to "demand" anything from this administration. nt

[Irish_Dem]

3. Maybe Pence knows something and is getting nervous?

His comments don't sound like an innocent man speaking.

[PortTack]

15. Or..maybe pence hopes it will dig tfg hole a little, or a lot deeper elevating him in his bid in'24.

He’s very sneaky

[Irish_Dem]

18. Oh yes. Good catch. Payback, revenge and ambition.

Who knows, maybe he is one of the folks who squealed to the FBI.

And now pretends to be angry about what he has wanted all along.

He gets back at Trump for the kidnap/murder threat and clears his path to the WH.

[wiggs]

19. Yes. There is no downside to his expression of concern. He 'demands' answers to

keep the gop meme going of corrupt dems...and when the answer comes he will not be sorry that Trump is taken down a notch.

[kentuck]

4. And Merrick Garland should demand "full accounting" from Mike Pence about January 6th.

A subpoena tomorrow would be timely.

[bluestarone]

17. Perfect answer!!

100% perfect answer!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. What a pathetic suck-up that guy is (nt)

[H2O Man]

7. Recommended.

Although for entirely different reasons, I'd love to hear a full accounting, too. But the Attorney General rarely, if ever, discusses an on-going investigation publicly. I suppose that Mike and the rest of us will have to be patient, and wait for the legal charges.

[yorkster]

8. Oh blow up and bust, Mistah Christian.

Then we can watch you fly around the room backwards as you rapidly deflate.

[Deep State Witch]

9. DoJ Needs to Play Catch-Up

Their spox needs to issue a statement saying that
1. This was a search, not a "raid".
2. The warrant was issued in full compliance with the law
3. TFG had been issued a subpoena for the documents in question, but failed to comply.
4. This was done for National Security purposes, not for any political purposes.

[sdfernando]

10. Sooooo...it wasn't a problem during ttfg's administration....

"After years where FBI agents were found to be acting on political motivation during our administration, the appearance of continued partisanship by the Justice Department must be addressed,”

[Leith]

11. What gives Pence the standing to demand such a thing?

He's a private citizen now. With even less power than he had as a VP.

How the hell does this undermine confidence in the US justice system? It's the first step in restoring mine.

[Metaphorical]

12. Likely just concerned

about what they will find in their raid. I don't think Pence was completely free of taint, no matter how much he tries to distance himself from the main scent.

I'll have to admit, if nothing else, the raids have basically confirmed that none of them are safe. Yesterday must have come as a complete shock to a great number of people who figured they were otherwise invulnerable.

[Nixie]

13. LOL Pence. He called for your hanging.

LOL Pence.

[Chainfire]

14. Who is this Mike Pence you speak of?

He can demand in one hand and poop in the other and see which fills up first.

[Hekate]

16. Fool

[TheBeam19]

20. No demand for a full accounting of the plot to hang him?

What a pandering weasel this guy is.

[AkFemDem]

21. That's not exactly a boot shaking damnation

It sounds like a milquetoast politician who wants to be relevant but not too relevant.

Don’t tell me Pence and the other R candidates aren’t secretly doing happy dances.

[live love laugh]

22. Pence was never in real danger imho.

and this defending TFG confirms it.

The gallows were as staged as MelYAWNia’s handmaiden-take-theme XMAS decor and a myriad of
especially “colorful” TFG-era Republican political theater (ie. bible toting while gassing in front of a church… “I really don’t care”…. Ivanka overseas in a revealing shirt distracting from her lack of a contribution…)

[FloridaBlues]

23. Republicans in freak out mode. Can't wait for trump to show the warrant from FBI

But I wouldn’t count on it. Perhaps taking highly classified documents not a smart move. FBI have been seeking this for awhile.

[blogslug]

24. Another tepid statement

Their "outrage" seems to lack something, IMHO

[hamsterjill]

25. Total ass kissing; nothing else.

Trump tried to have Pence killed. If Pence had any balls, he would tell Trump to fuck off.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. "Demands????"

On what authority, civilian?

[Caliman73]

27. I am not sticking up for the FBI here, given their history, HOWEVER...

No other president in United States History was ever such a criminal and risk to the national security of the United States than Trump. That is why the FBI has never had to search anyone else's home. Even Nixon at his most criminal didn't try to steal classified documents.

[spanone]

28. Still carrying water for the guy, eh?

hey pence, no former president shit on the law like trump

[Iggo]

29. Private citizen Pence demands an accounting from the US Attorney General?

Can I do that, too?

[SledDriver]

30. Mike who?

[Generic Other]

31. He tried to get you killed Pence

How much more do you need to know?

I suspect you are toadying to the slob in hopes of shaving off some of the MAGAT vote, but here's a hint: THEY HATE YOU AS MUCH AS HE DOES.

They erected a gallows for you, called for your assassination, don't you remember?

[doc03]

32. Who is Mike Pence to demand anything? He is a weasel

and a f---g coward that tries to play both sides. Mike we all hate you Democrats and the Nazi Party.

[malaise]

33. Pence is a mouse not a man

A vile human being who will support the man who would have him killed.
How does he live with himself?

[GoCubsGo]

34. Not only does it not undermine my confidence In the judicial system.

It makes me even more confident in them.

[dalton99a]

35. Pathetic sick fuck

[Hotler]

36. SIT DOWN and shut up. Wait until your name his called. That would be Pu**y in my book

but I'm not allowed to say that here. Instead I'll say softer than 10-ply. Make yourself useful, go mow the yard.

[BlueIdaho]

37. Stockholm Syndrome?

Prancing Pence is still carrying water for the guy who thought “Hang Mike Pence” was a totally legitimate sentiment on Jan 6th.

[nuxvomica]

38. "FBI agents were found to be acting on political motivation during our administration"

Yeah, so where was your "deep concern" then? The admission is welcomed but nonetheless raises some questions for Mr. Pence.

[kacekwl]

39. Poor Mikey, still hoping someone will

love him. Anyone.

[Piratedog]

40. Who is Mike Pence again? Oh yeah, just a regular citizen like me.

Merrill Garland doesn’t answer to jellyfish Pence
