Mike Pence’s ex-chief of staff gives analysis of DOJ's role in the FBI raid

The former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence gave an analysis of the Department of Justice's role in the FBI's unprecedented raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate during an interview on Mornings with Maria, and agreed with Mike Pence's assertion that lashing out against the FBI is a misjudgment.

MARC SHORT: With approximately $80 billion, this new bill is amazing, one of the few things that survived from something that started $6 trillion, went down to $4 trillion, under $2 trillion, then under a trillion. The IRS's goal was to increase its size by around 87,000 agents. But to your earlier question about where the Biden administration has been, clearly they were supportive of defunding police efforts. One of your earlier segments talked about one of the reasons we have rising crime in our country is because of the defund police effort. It's hard to recruit because of the fact that you can't keep so many of our policemen, and it's creating a higher sense of violence and crime in our inner cities.

We shouldn't be embracing the defund of the FBI effort because it's for the same reason we shouldn't be embracing it. Certainly Merrick Garland, certainly Trump's appointee Wray are owed an explanation to the American people. But at the same time, nobody would want to defund the FBI more than the communist Chinese or the cartels in Mexico or the human traffickers south of the border. That's who wants to defund the FBI. The right should not be embracing the same rhetoric of the left and arguing to defund law enforcement.
