GOP rep urges Republicans to 'reserve judgment' on FBI's Trump search

Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, a former FBI agent, says his GOP colleagues should "reserve judgment" about the bureau's search of the former president's home until an affidavit explaining the justification for the search comes to light.

"We're for law and order unless it's us being investigated."

I believe Fitzpatrick was intentionally choosing his words carefully in order not to upset trump or his followers.

History will not be kind to these traitors. Their grandchildren will pretend they didn't know them.

Trying to mess with Hillary Clinton he signed that bill in 2018! 😂👏🏽👏🏽 it’s a felony dude!!! Period 🍿🍿 damn

This guy's clearly struggling to come to terms with the fact his boss is making him look an idiot.

It should have been precedented once he didn’t give all the documents back when asked back in January of 2021.
May the full force of the law come crashing down on him his family and all his supporters

[Aloneagainofcourse]

Hard to believe he is saying this as his former colleague's are being attacked by his party's most ardent supporters

[SUscottie]

The Executive branch went to the Judicial Branch with all of the info, and the Judicial Branch decided there was probable cause for the Search/Raid. Trump was given ample opportunity to return the documents.

Mr. Congressman my question is have you ever heard of a president calling for this violence against his enemies?

[denillefleming]

Performance theater seems to be all that matters to Congress.

[lieissin]

Good interview. Thank you, Margaret Brennan.

[eternalskeptic]

He invited
He incited
They rioted
Then he denied it
Even though he'd implied it
Now he MUST be indicted.

[mirstudio]

Congressman, thank you for being reasonable.

[carlstephens]

Republicans need to stop acting like children on the playground, , GROW UP

[zoundstreetop]

The aggression created by trump is not an accident. It is a feature with an aim, and completely intentional.

[backdeck]

Worth repeating. Call for calm, and respect our law enforcement, federal, state, and local. The only way we, the oldest democracy, can come unraveled is if we have disrespect for our institutions. That leads to Americans turning on Americans. Don't prejudge. Understand the weight of your words. Support law enforcement, no matter what. 
Only a few thinking Rs remain, but they need to reclaim the party. Now would be good.

[barbmoody]

You can’t have the affidavit. That comprises the case against 45

[petecross]

This gentleman has a measured approach. We need more of that. The media needs to show more restraint and more objectivity. It appears President Trump had documents he shouldn’t have. Let’s let the Department of Justice do its job.

[YanPutrisuryo]

I am sorry that not many Republicans who have the same courage as Brian Fitspatrick.

[josephf]

To the Trump crowd he’s a RINO. Anyone with common sense is tossed out of the party
