The announcement of a Donald Trump special counsel is not going over very well in the political arena.
This has most Republicans calling the move a massive weaponization of the office.
Ironically, that is exactly what Merrick Garland was hoping to avoid by moving his investigation over to a special counsel now that Trump has announced.
Disgraceful
Among the Republicans to call out the appointment was Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
After the announcement, Cruz went ballistic, stating, “The Biden Department of Justice is thoroughly politicized and weaponized.
“This is camouflage designed to set up the next step — which is the Biden Department of Justice intends to indict Donald Trump.”
Cruz added that this Cruz said this “is the culmination of the deliberate weaponization of law enforcement — this administration views the Department of Justice and the FBI as the enforcers for their partisan priorities.
“This has never happened in the history of our country.
“We have had 46 presidents and if you go all the way back to George Washington, no administration has ever raided the home of a former president — no administration has ever tried to indict a former president.”
Cruz, never one to back down when given a pulpit, added, “Historically, the Department of Justice and the FBI have been strong enough to resist it, but under Biden, they now have hard partisans who burrowed into senior career positions who are willing to abuse law enforcement.”
With the resistance to Donald Trump getting the nomination, I am actually a bit surprised the GOP is this upset.
With the fear of Donald Trump winning the nomination and losing the general election, maybe Garland would be doing them a favor if Trump is indicted.
