They are in panic mode. All the shit is coming out, and it’s about time Trump and his cronies are held responsible.

Pop quiz: how many Congressional D’s publicly said they wanted to “defund the police”? The answer is ZERO. Yet we have multiple Congressional R’s publicly saying they want to defund the FBI. #CriminalGOP #ExtremeGOP
And Trump is currently fundraising off the raid! Somehow I got on a GOP mailing list and a ranting fundraising email arrived. I’m definitely investing in Kool-Ade!
The GOP has gotten far out in front of its skis knowing nothing about Trump’s potential crimes here. But they understand two things well: 1) attacking DOJ and FBI will help some of them when their time comes; and 2) ‘they must all hang together or they will hang separately.’
My favorite part is Kevin McCarthy talking about "preserve your documents."
