GOP Senator Defends Trump Turning Up the Heat On Pam Bondi to Go After His Enemies: They Need to Be ‘Looked Into’

GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) defended President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign to get Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after his political enemies.

Trump sent out a remarkable social media post on Saturday telling Bondi she wasn’t moving fast enough in cases involving his political enemies such as; former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote as part of a lengthy post. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Mullin was asked by CNN’s Dana Bash if he was “okay” with Trump so blatantly targeting his enemies.

“Well, I think what we know is, President Trump is very open and transparent with the American people, and he speaks his mind. And that’s what his supporters love about him. And that’s what America loves about him,” Mullin said, continuing:

I don’t think there’s any question that Comey should be looked at. I mean, we just got to look at the “86 comment” that he made, and when we start looking at at the lies that he chose to continue with Russiagate. Adam Schiff went out while he was the chairman of of Intel, every single meeting and said that we had the smoking gun. And he said that for how many weeks straight? And you’re going, “Where was the smoking gun” at some point?

Well, their actions need to be looked into. And if they did something, I don’t know, this is a country that should look into it. If they did something illegal, if they were leaking classified information, if they used their their position of power for corruption, then they 100% should be held accountable. And what President Trump is saying here is it’s time to look into them and say hold them accountable for what they said.
