Republicans chastise Trump administration for failed indictment of Democrats [View all]
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.”
