Kim Strassel Reacts To AG Merrick Garland Personally Signing Off On Trump FBI Search: ‘Does Put To Rest Some Media Claims’

Listen To The Full Interview Below:

Kim Strassel, Potomac Watch columnist for Wall Street Journal editorial page & Fox News Contributor joined the Guy Benson Show to react to the brief on-camera statement from Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.

Strassel reacted to the confirmation from the Attorney General by saying,

“First of all, one thing that was important is that he did say that he had authorized this search warrant. That does put to rest some media claims out there claiming that he didn’t know about this, which was shocking idea to me. So he at least did that on the warrant and the unsealing in my mind that does maybe help confirm a little bit the reigning media narrative out there that this is about documents, given that he talked not just about the search warrant, but also about a property for receipt, which suggests these were things that were being taken away and seized, obviously, from Mar a Lago, which raises to me some really important questions on a much bigger level, which is, you know, I understand the point about the law is the law. But the Department of Justice has long-standing guidelines about not going into politically sensitive areas without really good reason. And you got to wonder if going after documents counts.”
