'Absolute Bullsh*t': GOP Lawmakers React As Jan. 6 Probe Targets Trump

In the wake of recent events, numerous GOP members have risen to the defense of former President Donald Trump.

This follows his revelation that he is now under scrutiny as part of the Justice Department's investigation into the events of January 6.

Former President Trump has declared that he has been summoned to appear before a grand jury within the span of four days. This summons, according to Trump, is a strong indication that the "deranged" Special Counsel Jack Smith is gearing up to level charges against him.

Former President Trump Expresses Frustration Over Investigation

In an impassioned post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his disdain for the situation, noting that such an event is a first for the United States. He went on to criticize the investigation as a blatant example of the weaponization of law enforcement for political ends, tarnishing the country's reputation.

"Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before, or even close…THIS WITCH HUNT IS ALL ABOUT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND A COMPLETE AND TOTAL POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT! It is a very sad and dark period for our Nation!” Trump stated.

News of Trump's targeting in the probe quickly spread throughout Congress, igniting a variety of reactions.

Members of Congress Respond to the News

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia did not hold back her contempt for the recent developments. She deemed the situation as an unjust tactic employed by the Democrats in their efforts against Trump.

 "It’s absolute bullshit. That’s the only way the Democrats have to beat President Trump," Greene said.

GOP House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York shared a similar sentiment. She labeled the potential indictment as "unprecedented" and referred to it as a "corrupt witch hunt". Stefanik further criticized the Justice Department, implying its bias towards the Democrats.

Representative Byron Donalds of Florida posed a controversial question on Twitter, likening Trump's potential indictment to Senator Bernie Sanders' speeches that led to violent outcomes.

Critics Question the Fairness of the Investigation

Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas also voiced his concerns about the matter, targeting Special Counsel Jack Smith for his role in the investigation.

 "Jack Smith, Biden’s attack dog is at it again. What part of these tweets are confusing? Never in American history have we seen the Weaponization of the fed like this to interfere in an election," Hunt said.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized the Department of Justice's decision in his response. McCarthy stated that the Justice Department's move came as Trump's popularity in the polls was increasing.

"President Trump just increased his lead in the polls. So what does the Biden Administration do next? Weaponize government to go after President Biden’s number one opponent. This is not equal justice. It’s wrong, and the American public is tired of it," McCarthy said.

Lawmakers Rally Support for Trump

The news also led to a surge in support for Trump among Republicans. Representative Ronny Jackson of Texas took to Twitter to rally support for the former president.

"STAND WITH TRUMP!! STAND WITH TRUMP!! Democrats KNOW they can’t beat Trump in 2024, so they’ve weaponized the FBI YET AGAIN to try to take him down. These people will deeply regret this when Trump is BACK in the White House!!" Jackson said.

Smith's investigation into the January 6 events is focused on Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Charges related to alleged handling of classified documents have already been placed against Trump.

Despite the indictment, Trump's campaign fundraising efforts for 2024 have surged. With a cash on hand total of $22.52 million so far in the election cycle, Trump's campaign leads all 2024 presidential contenders.
