Republicans chastise Trump administration for failed indictment of Democrats
The Scoop
Senate Republicans of all ideological persuasions are lining up to chide the Trump administration for trying to indict six congressional Democrats over a video that urged members of the military to disobey unlawful orders.
Even Republican senators who criticized the Democratic video made clear that they thought the Justice Department — which failed to persuade a grand jury to return the indictment — brought a weak case and set a poor precedent.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Semafor that the Democrats’ video showed “terrible, terrible judgment, but I think trying to indict them for it was not a good idea.” Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said in an interview that “I would not have brought it were I the president.”
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said that “I think our law enforcement people ought to be spending their time on making our community safe and going after real law-breakers.”
