MSM reposting an SF Gate item:
In his statement, McCarthy ordered U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to "preserve" documents and "clear" his calendar in preparation for an investigation Republicans will conduct into the U.S. Department of Justice should they retake the House during this year's midterm elections.
"I've seen enough. The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization," McCarthy said. "When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned."
Other lawmakers representing California were quick to hit back.
Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (District 33) focused his critique on the fact that nobody — McCarthy included — knows what federal agents seized [,,,] "You say you’ve 'seen enough.' Did you see the classified and unclassified documents that the FBI seized at Mar-a-Lago? No. So you have no idea what you are talking about," Lieu said to McCarthy on Twitter. "Stop making stuff up. You are the leader of the minority party. Do better."
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (District 15) said [...] "It’s outrageous to threaten the Attorney General—especially about a criminal affidavit (signed by a judge) you have not seen and evidence (seized by law enforcement) you don’t know," Swalwell said, also on Twitter. "This behavior is why you will never be Speaker."
[...] Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik (the third-ranking Republican in the House) and Florida Sen. Rick Scott (the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee) each strongly condemned the raid, with Greene going so far as to say the FBI should be defunded.
Frenzy and stupidity can seem universal in DC, yet it always seems most concentrated among our Republican friends.

Okay, it was a stupid tweet. MTG likely was kidding. Unlike her "gazpacho police" previous gaffe. Shoot from the mouth before thinking within the creases and recesses of that eerie skull content? From that link
