people who have pledged undying loyalty and unconditional support of druonald trump. what you need to do is put forward these conspiracy theories, unfounded attacks against people like chris wray, against the attorney general and just keep it up hoping that some people will buy it. congress man, we learned tody something very disturbing. the fbi had to actually create a new unit for actual threats to its personnel, the men and women of the fbi after its search of mar-a-lago. how dangerous is this barrage of rhetoric attacking the fbi? well, it s absurd, right, and it s coming from a party which for generations has seen itself as the law and order party. in their hearts, an awful lot of my republican colleagues here understand what is happening, and i suspect regret exactly what you re talking about right now, which is that, you know and we saw this, remember, after the mar-a-lago search, we saw somebody actually with a nail gun go after law enforcement,
