"Do we really think the Department of Justice raided the home of the former president and candidate to be the next President of the United States and nobody in Joe Biden's White House knew about that? Mizelle asked incredulously."
"Abrams promptly called out Mizelle for spouting BS noting that he had been asked whether Biden personally ordered the raid. Instead, he focused on whether anyone in the White House knew ahead of time, which was not the question he had been asked. Completely different issue, Abrams pointed out. He also called out Mizelle wanting to pursue accountability in the form of cases for lying to Congress. There's a reason they've had such trouble with these cases about lying to congress because it involves nuance, and a nuance that the previous administration never would have prosecuted, Abrams said. [Without accountability] we're gonna repeat the mistakes of the past. Make sure it doesn't happen again.' What the hell is he talking about?!"
"The guardrails have come down in the GOP, and it's scaring the heck out of me, Abrams said. When the right starts saying, This ..feels wrong,' you can see corrections occur. Which is why it is so important that Republicans stand up. Democrats yelling and screaming isn't going to do anything. It's gotta be Republicans. It's gotta be right-leaning independents, who say"
A CNN interview presented an argument that DOJ measures are necessary to prevent future politicized prosecutions, citing the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and speculating about White House awareness. The exchange exposed a conflation between whether the president personally ordered the raid and whether White House officials knew in advance. The proposal to pursue cases for lying to Congress was criticized as legally nuanced and difficult to prosecute. Concern was expressed that Republicans have loosened legal guardrails on corruption. Calls were made for Republicans and right-leaning independents, rather than Democrats alone, to demand and restore accountability to prevent repeating past mistakes.
