Following former President Trump’s post on social media that claims he received a target letter from the Justice Department, many Republican lawmakers were quick to come to the former president’s defense and some questioned the timing of the letter. NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin has the details.

#Trump #Republicans #McCarthy

always a thing about it, like a dramatic process with no meanings
The only thing questionable about the timing is that it is two years late. McCarthy is a spineless slug masquerading as a man.
Garland was robbed of a SC seat due to GOP lies about appointments being even a year from an election. Enforce the law and enforce it right now.
Have none of those republican's any self shame for themseelves or their famlies, This is a great way to show your children how to get on in life, It's just not american people are watching this the rest of the world is, how do they expect us to take them serious or trust dealing with them, as an outsider it's making America look really bad, and they know it and don't care.
FBI and IRS whistle blowers are telling you the truth. Mainstream news media won't carry it.
DOJ refusing to do their job for a year is the biggest issue. DOJ was being political for not prosecuting Trump for over a year to try to appear non-political. Trump should never be above the law, just like every other person including Biden, if he was to commit a proven crime.
I think America is smart Enough to choose the right Person To run this country. The right way. I just want to see the American Flag, red, white, and blue..
Trump is leading in the polls. Its perfect timing.
🇺🇸Vote Trump 24🇺🇸
If house Republicans gave a fraction of the effort that's been allocated towards the frivolous defense of Donald Trump and put it towards improving the lives of the constituents that sent them there, maybe it'll bump up their approval rating from 8% to 9%.
May 28th 2021: Senate Republicans blocked a bill to form an independent commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.
McCarthy is so terrified of the MAGA idiots he's afraid to say Trump is wrong and brought this on himself. McCarthy's a coward. He's scared of Trump and the MAGA morons.
Of course they do. I know the Republican party has been dying off for quite some time but they're beyond pathetic and clearly against America
Republicans not for " WE THE PEOPLE……" "…. the idiocy of the Trump administration…" Gen Ben Hodges
HAPPY ARRESTMENT DAY Partiers, in remembrance to Republican values of Personal Responsibility,
Drink responsibly….. CHEERS!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Trump loaded up his entire family and a bunch of his cohorts on his 757 and a wing came off at 20,000 feet !!!
I'd order 2 kegs and through a block party !
Trump is Obese, and Biden is NOT, which effects life expectancy.
Can we stop covering Republican reactions? They are all involved in the crime. OF COURSE they are questioning it. It's their heads on the line. Good on MI indict the traitor electors. The GOP is the enemy. Anyone who votes Republican should be deported. You are unAmerican… Get out!
Same here, McCarthy called for this two years ago, it took way too long, questionable timing. Merrick Garland should've ordered the special counsel MONTHS before he did. Before McCarthy forgot what he had called for. Very questionable
He received the letter because he is under investigation and they were letting him know charges are on their way.
Trump needs to find lawyers who will be willing to defend him.
