McCarthy says he stands with Trump

House Republicans Rally Behind Trump, Adopting His False Narrative About the Indictme

Top House Republicans intensified their attacks on President Biden and the Justice Department on Friday after the federal indictment of former President Donald J. Trump, suggesting falsely that Mr. Biden, not a grand jury made up of American citizens, had charged him with crimes as part of a political vendetta.

It was the latest instance of top-ranking Republicans in Congress closing ranks behind the former president and helping to spread unfounded accusations against the government, in the process undermining public confidence in the rule of law and stoking intense anger in their party’s base against the nation’s institutions.

“Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Joe Biden is weaponizing his Department of Justice against his own political rival,” said Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 House Republican. “This sham indictment is the continuation of the endless political persecution of Donald Trump.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he stands with Trump.

“I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice,” McCarthy, a staunch ally of the former president, said in a tweet.

House Republicans, he added, “will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.”

Good, and you will go down with Trump too, you scumbag.

Yep, as if we all just forgot that he himself admitted to a national audience that the Hillary Witch Trials were only intended to harm her chances of running for president!
 
Few of these attacks on DOJ ever argue that Trump did not break the law. The idea seems to be that he should be left alone and not harassed for breaking the law.

Agreed. They universally believe he's above the law. They like to use whataboutism because Hillary got off easy for her crimes while completely ignoring the difference in degree of violations. It's also not the first time Trump Tuckers think two wrongs make a right.

They have selective memory on past cases such as General Petraeus...who cooperated with authorities and pled guilty: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...aeus-sentenced-sharing-classified-information
David Petraeus sentenced to probation for sharing classified information
Former US army general and CIA director fined $100,000 – $60,000 more than expected – after pleading guilty to leaking information to biographer and lover
Petraeus pleaded guilty in March in a federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina, to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information. Under the terms of his plea deal, he escaped possible jail time and an embarrassing public trial.
 
Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who is the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee and was a member of the Jan. 6 committee, said the indictment “tells us that former President Donald Trump put our national security in grave danger as he pursued yet another lawless personal agenda by pilfering and hoarding government documents.”

Jamie Raskin is the top liar in the oversight committee. Barr nailed his lying ass to the floor this week. His word is shit
 
Trump was already fundraising off the indictment on Thursday night, with an email to small-dollar donors that was titled: “BREAKING: INDICTED.” He asked the donors to give at least $24 “to peacefully stand with me today and prove that YOU will NEVER surrender our country to the radical Left — for 1,500% impact.”

Interesting the word peaceful was in there


The FBI must have warned him about inciting violence
 
McCarthy is attempting to keep his job as Speaker by appeasing the nutjobs. He'll give Trump a Rusty Trombone all the way to prison if need be, just to hang on to the Speaker's gavel.

He going to be indicted for shit himself

j/6 and or Fake Electors

Hilary didn’t do crimes


Stop lying
 
Hilary didn’t do crimes

Stop lying
Mishandling classified material is a crime. Doing it intentionally is a bigger crime. Destroying evidence is obstruction of justice.

Hillary is a criminal, but she got away with it and will never pay for her crimes. That's not an excuse to let others go free for the same crimes.
 
Sitting Republicans helped plan J/6


They are going down


The ones who voted against Bidens electors are going down
