When Rep. Chuck Fleischmann and Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty responded to Donald Trump’s indictment on a national security issue, was anyone surprised by their denunciation of the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice and the nation’s allegedly weaponized and two-tiered justice system?
Nope. Their statements were 100% predictable and larded thick with cliches.
Without proof, Hagerty claimed the nation’s “two-tiered justice system [was] on full display,” thereby making America “look like a banana republic.”
Fleischmann’s nonsensical claim was that Trump has been targeted by “a relentless effort to undermine and destroy him by any means,” and the “indictment shows the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI.”
Blackburn claimed the FBI had displayed an “unprecedented vendetta against Trump,” and that “a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for an attorney general to approve an FBI raid on the home of a former president.”
