Mike Pence, calls on Republicans to stop attacks on the FBI: We are the party of
Mike Pence

Former Vice President Mike Pence is urging Republicans to stop attacking the FBI after it raided Donald Trump's Florida home.

Mr. Pence is denouncing calls from some of the former president's allies to defund the FBI, saying it is "just as wrong" as a call by Democratic activists to defund the police.

Mr. Pence also said he would "consider the case" if asked to testify before the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riots.

Thirrjet e zotit Pence për përmbajtje vijnë pasi zyrtarët e zbatimit të ligjit paralajmërojnë për një numër në rritje të kërcënimeve të dhunshme ndaj agjentëve federalë dhe objekteve qeveritare, që kur agjentët kontrolluan javën e kaluar banesën e zotit Trump në Mar-a-Lago.

Duke folur në Nju Hemshër, zoti Pence u pyet se çfarë i shkoi në mendje kur dëgjoi për kontrollin e FBI-së në shtëpinë e zotit Trump. Ish nënpresidenti Pence, i cili ashtu si zoti Trump po shqyrton mundësinë për të garuar në zgjedhjet presidenciale të vitit 2024, tha se ishte i shqetësuar nga ai që ai e quajti politizim të FBI-së. Ai tha gjithashtu se Departamenti i Drejtësisë dhe Prokurori i Përgjithshëm Merrick Garland duhet të jenë më transparentë në lidhje me atë që i shtyu autoritetet të kryenin kontrollin.

But the former vice president also had a message for the Republican party.

"I want to remind my Republican colleagues that we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision he made without attacking law enforcement personnel at the FBI."

"The Republican Party is the party of law and order," continued Mr. Pence. "Our party stands with the men and women who stand in sensitive positions at the federal, state and local levels and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are as misguided as calls to cut police funding."

Federal authorities and private extremism watchdogs have warned that a growing number of Mr. Trump's ardent supporters appear poised to retaliate against the FBI or others who they say are going too far in investigating the former president. .

In Ohio, a man wearing bulletproof vest and armed was shot and killed after trying to break into the FBI office in Cincinnati. In Pennsylvania, a man was arrested after posting death threats against agents on social media.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has said the threats against agents and the Justice Department are "unfortunate and dangerous." The FBI has warned its agents to take precautions, citing an increase in threats on social media against bureau personnel and facilities. Some Republican lawmakers and others are calling for the FBI to be disbanded and defunded.

Mr Pence, who has tried to distance himself from his former boss, prefaced the question by saying: "It's pretty well known that President Trump and I have had our differences." Still, Mr. Pence has been careful to frequently tout the accomplishments of the "Trump-Pence administration," hoping he can appeal to voters who may have supported Trump's policies but not his behavior.

They parted ways on January 6, 2021, when a mob of angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from officially certifying Joe Biden's presidential victory. Donald Trump denounced his vice president for refusing to challenge, or delay, the certification — something Mr. Pence had no legal power to do.

Mr. Pence had previously declined to say whether he would engage with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack if the committee asked him to testify. On Wednesday, he said he would consider the request.

"It would be unprecedented in history for a vice president to be called to testify in Congress, but like I said, I don't want to prejudge," he said. "If I were to receive an official invitation, I would consider it."
