Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell finally weighed in on the FBI’s raid of 45th President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago.

Breitbart News reports:

Although the raid on Mar-a-Lago occurred Monday, McConnell said nothing all day Tuesday. In fact, when asked to comment on it Tuesday, he refused.

Then, at long last, Tuesday night, the Senate Republican leader — no doubt under pressure — found the time in his schedule to comment on an event that will almost certainly be remembered as one of the most corrupt acts of law enforcement in this country’s history:

“Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately.”

Oh, and he “called for a ‘thorough and immediate explanation,’” according to the Hill.

That’s it.

The limp statement came after the Republican House Leader, Kevin McCarthy, demanded Republicans decry the abuse by FBI.

“If you are an elected Republican, and you are staying quiet while Democrats in Washington are abusing their power,” McCarthy wrote, “you are the very reason they think they can get away with it. NOW is the time to speak up and be LOUD!”
