Fucking hypocritical Republicans

Republicans stepped up calls on Sunday for the release of an FBI affidavit showing the underlying justification for its seizure of documents at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.

Republicans are calling for the disclosure of more detailed information that persuaded a federal judge to issue the search warrant

"The Justice Department should "show that this was not just a fishing expedition, that they had due cause to go in and to do this, that they did exhaust all other means," Rounds said. "And if they can't do that, then we've got a serious problem on our hands."

"I think a releasing the affidavit would help, at least that would confirm that there was justification for this raid," Republican Senator Mike Rounds told NBC's "Meet the Press".


If Senator Rounds would watch some non-biased news sources, he'd know "all other means" were exhausted and just the fact Trump had the documents at Mar-a-Lago was justification to search the place.

What they really want to know is the depth of the shit Trump is in...

1. Idiots. A federal Judge Magistrate thought it more than a fishing expedition! And an AG!

Another example of the complete disregard for the rule of law is what this demonstrates…but it is reported as a legitimate concern by our insomniac media!

this is right wing propaganda that occupies the MSM. No way in hell a judge should release this affidavit and if he does he needs to be impeached. Actually it would be appealed and tossed.

This should be a big fat nothingburger. Trump will get to see the affidavit if he is indicted.

In the court filing objecting to release in the affidavit DOJ said, of course it could reveal witnesses but it could also reveal “novel techniques of investigation”, now I’m thinking maybe they’re listening to Trump on a smart TV or something. I hope it makes him paranoid as shit

His lawyers must have confirmed that to him…all the fascists must be sweating bullets every time he walks or talks!

The search warrant is the tip of the investigatory iceberg!
