    Default Hutchinson: FBI ‘simply carrying out their responsibilities’ with Mar-a-Lago search

    Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Sunday defended the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, saying critics in the GOP need to “pull back on casting judgment.”

    “The FBI is simply carrying out their responsibilities under the law, a lawful search warrant that a magistrate signed off on. And they didn’t go in there with FBI raid jackets. They tried to constrain their behavior carrying out that warrant,” Hutchinson said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” calling on fellow Republicans to “stand with” law enforcement.

    “If the GOP is going to be the party of supporting law enforcement, law enforcement includes the FBI.”

    Hutchinson said Attorney General Merrick Garland “did the right thing” by asking a judge to unseal the search warrant Friday, but added he has outstanding concerns and questions about Monday’s search and the classified documents reportedly found by the FBI.

    Actually, she's wrong on almost all accounts.

    There were 30 - 40+ agents on this raid. There was a small boat offshore equipped with a machinegun and crew with automatic weapons. The FBI was in tactical gear and some agents had automatic rifles.

    The warrant, as we now know, was extremely vague and open ended on what could be searched for and taken in direct violation of the 4th Amendment and federal laws.

    Merrick Garland initially denied knowledge, but when the shit storm hit waited three days then made a tepid attempt to take responsibility even as he lied his ass off as to the nature of the warrant (he claimed it was "narrow and specific" when it wasn't).

    It's becoming increasingly clear it was a political move first and foremost, not to mention a major blunder.

    Why does it matter to you how many agents were used?

    I was replying to the OP citation. The governor of Arkansas is an idiot. This was a full-on FBI raid.

    Trump's own lawyer said the agents were wearing t-shirts and khaki pants.

    Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan said 30-40 FBI personnel conducted the search. There were a handful dressed in suits, but most wore t-shirts, cargo pants, masks and gloves.
