A long-time supporter of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda and member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) called the Aug. 8 raid of the former president’s Florida home “unprecedented” and “undemocratic,” and said the warrant under seal leaves many unanswered questions.
Until there is full transparency in the case, the actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) just go to corroborate what whistleblowers recently told the House Judiciary Committee: that Trump and his allies are to be maligned, and the Biden business dealings are to be kept quiet, Gaetz told NTD host Stefania Cox on Aug. 9.
Recently, some whistleblowers stepped forward to the House Judiciary Committee, revealing two points: “if there’s anything negative about Trump or his allies, that gets accelerated, leaked, and used for political purposes. Meanwhile, the FBI and DOJ are protecting Hunter Biden by downgrading information that shows the compromise of the first family driven by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),” Gaetz said.
Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has called on FBI Director Christopher A. Wray for complete transparency on the raid of Trump’s home.
“If the FBI isn’t extraordinarily transparent about its justification for yesterday’s actions and committed to rooting out political bias that has infected their most sensitive investigations, they will have sealed their own fate. The FBI’s mission and the many patriotic agents who work hard to carry it out will be forever overshadowed by the distrust the bureau has sown,” Grassley said in an Aug. 9 press statement.
Gaetz said targeting political opponents is what happens in socialist countries like Venezuela, which the United States is starting to resemble with rampant inflation and crime. The United States is now in an era where federal law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), like in Venezuela are becoming the “enforcement wing of the Democratic Party” used to take down political opponents.
