Analysis: GOP accusations of ‘deep state’ and politicization of justice department likely to foment an intense backlash
Ted Lieu, another Democrat in the House of Representatives, posted on Twitter: “No one is above the law.”: “Never before has a former President’s home been raided in a criminal probe. While this search warrant is seemingly for the mishandling of classified material, it is a serious crime that must be fully investigated.
“Today’s raid is the first step for law enforcement, or Congress, of holding Donald Trump accountable for the orchestration of a conspiracy to remain in power that resulted in the January 6th attack on our nation’s capital.”responded furiously to the development, following Trump’s lead in claiming that the search showed the justice department waging a politically motivated witch-hunt.
Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, said: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Countless times we have examples of Democrats flouting the law and abusing power with no recourse. “Democrats continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans. This raid is outrageous. This abuse of power must stop and the only way to do that is to elect Republicans in November.”that the justice department had reached “an intolerable state of weaponized politicization” and vowed that, when Republicans take back the House, they will conduct immediate oversight of the department.
