dissension within the Republican Party after the search at Mar-a-Lago

The vehemence of certain statements by elected Conservatives who called into question the investigation carried out by the FBI and the right to carry out a such operation in a home of a former president is the subject of criticism from other conservative elected officials who warn of the consequences it could have on American democracy.

After the very strong criticism of the Department of Justice and the FBI by elected conservatives, often close to donald trumpand the real threats faced by certain federal police officers, it is time for warnings within the Republican Party.

The terminology used has awakened certain consciences. This is the case of the governor of Maryland Larry Hogan who does not understand that one can compare the FBI to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. Invited on the ABC News television channel, he did not hesitate to describe this type of remark as absurd and even dangerous: “ This is outrageous rhetoric which can have disastrous effects in the world’s oldest democracy.

Larry Hogan, like other conservative colleagues, believes that it was this type of remark that led supporters of Donald Trump to attack an FBI office in Cincinnati, Ohio, and to make threats against the police. He calls on the authorities to show transparency in this affair to calm things down, just like Brian Fitzpatrick, elected Republican in the House of Representatives, as well as many other elected officials from both houses of Congress, who castigate all the disgusting comments made by some of their colleagues.
