Evidently they didn’t get the memo that the subject is now radioactive.
As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:
If there are nuclear secrets in the documents, are you going to demand accountability from the person who took them?
Trump had ill-gotten highly-classified nuclear secrets in an unsecured location, but you think the “accountability” has to be for the people who were dutifully protecting America’s security?
Why are you so anti-American and so pro-criminal?
#ResignHawley
You are absolutely right! There needs to be accountability for anyone stealing top secret documents regarding nuclear secrets, or any other top secret information! You’re such a good “lawyer”![….]
And #Trump made the penalties for his own crimes even worse in 2018!!!
Wow, I thought you went to Yale for law school not Trump University.

You do so much damage with these ridiculous interviews Josh. You rile people up and then when they come charging you’re running down a hallway to hide. People are losing their lives for believing your bullshit. It needs to stop.
Again…you know full well that everything about it was legal and aboveboard. But you are shameless in exploiting the fact that your base doesn’t know that and you can make serious bank off of your feigned outrage.
You are a pile.
Wow. At first I thought this tweet was two days old not two hours old. You really are relying on the stupidity of your followers, or you are as stupid as you are swift, Fleet Feet.
They want it swept under a rug!?!?
You cannot be this willfully stupid
Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to nominate Christopher A. Wray for the position of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). [….]

Hillary is above the law, James comey is above the law, Christopher Wray is above the law, and all the rest of this swamp is above the law apparently!!
Who was it, again, who nominated Christopher Wray to be the Director of the FBI? Right wingnut media propaganda has permeated our cultural substrata. Welcome to 21st Century America.

The third senator from Virginia has a few thoughts this morning:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
At a minimum, Garland must resign or be impeached. The search warrant must be published. Christoper Wray must be removed. And the FBI reformed top to bottom. 9:24 AM · Aug 9, 2022
As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
Why don’t you call up Donald Trump and ask him to share his copy of the warrant? Put up or shut up.
No one is above the law. That means you too, Joshie. And BTW, since you don’t know what’s in the search warrant, I suggest that’s your first step. You may be surprised. Pretty quick to judge without the facts.
Wow. You are just a terrible human being. You *know* that a judge signed off on a warrant. And you want everyone removed from office because law enforcement did its job? You are just a criminal. Pump your fist again – the dangerous extremists in the back didn’t hear you.
He also knows it’s not “Biden’s FBI.” Trump appointed Wray.
Impeached for what? Signing off on the DOJ presenting evidence of probable cause to a judge who then determined there was sufficient probable cause to issue a search warrant? As a lawyer, you know how it works. There was nothing inappropriate here. Stop lying.
It was a Federal Judge who signed off on the warrant Josh and the FBI Director appointed by Trump. Biden had ZERO to do with it and let’s not forget the guy who actually took the classified documents who you seem to not blame at all
As a Missourian, please stop. Your actions reflect on our entire state. That Missourians voted largely for Trump doesn’t mean MO is largely MAGA which you’d know if you actually lived here.
Law enforcement leaves a copy of the search warrant, which itemizes what they are looking for and what laws were violated.
If Trump thinks this search was abusive and he has nothing to hide, HE could release the warrant to the public.
He’ll release it. With his taxes.
Former Presidents cannot take documents. It’s against the law. They asked for the documents back and Trump refused. So they went and got them. What about this is so confusing?
Trump has a copy of the warrant. Why isn’t he publishing it?
‘The search warrant must be published”
This is factually wrong.
But if Trump wants to publish it, along with the inventory of what was seized, he is free to do so.
Wonder why he hasn’t yet?
Trump has a copy of the warrant.
Get on the phone, burner or otherwise, and tell Trump to release it.
Trump could release the search warrant any time he wants Running Man.
Maybe you should be asking why he’s not?
Tough talk from a runner.
Search and seizure based on a search warrant approved by a federal magistrate?
That’s a hill for you to die on, really?
Just resign now.
Umm. The DOJ doesn’t do that – it could compromise their investigation. Trump, of course, could release it…but he won’t for some reason…must be damning.
1. Trump appointed Wray.
2. Trump has the search warrant and can publish it himself.
Didn’t you go to YALE LAW? If so, you must know how difficult it is to get a search warrant on a former president. The likelihood of the evidence being less than red hot is quite small.
Josh – tell Trump to share the warrant. Easy way to publish it. Oh wait you wouldn’t really do that. Keep stretching it’s gonna be a long run
What’s stopping Trump from publishing it?
Thank you from Oregon, my new favorite Senator!
Wrong state. Virginia, not Oregon.
Josh….Trump has the search warrant, that includes the reason for the search. Legally, he has to be provided a copy. Ask HIM to make it public
What are you even talking about?
Lol, sure Josh…or maybe Donald could tell us what was on the warrant. Carry on with your gaslighting session.
On and on…

You really should know how search warrants work. Oh, wait, your area of expertise is filing losing lawsuits and wasting taxpayer money. I guess your feelings were hurt when I said you weren’t the worst Eric, and you’re trying to prove me wrong.
DOJ executed a search warrant as part of an investigation requested by the National Archives over records moved and destroyed to determine if preservation laws were broken.
The disgraced exPrez needs to know the rules apply to him too.
Rule of Law
If you only knew about laws
Trump & his Senate appointed & approved Wray as head of the FBI in 2017. The warrant & search followed the playbook. No one is above the law. #RuleOfLaw
If there is violence, you & other inciteful Republicans will be responsible. Do you want a civil war & the USA destroyed?
It’s called justice. We understand that you may be unfamiliar with this concept.
Yet you know none of this. A warrant for a former President had a high bar. It’s reasonable to believe they had significantly more cause than you did for all your campaign lawsuits. You should probably let the adults work this out.
You are the freaking Attorney General! You know (or should) how the law works. Sadly, you’re just a political hack trying to get votes.
No dude. Trump appointed Wray and there was apparently enough evidence to get a warrant -you should know this since you’re an attorney although from your record. It appears you got your license to practice law from a cracker jack box. That’s how Rule of Law works.
You mean the guy who was appointed by DJT? Wray. Or do you mean the judge who signed the warrant? Also appointed by DJT and confirmed by GOP Congress people. Or did you mean Ron DeSantis who KNEW about the raid and didn’t to off anyone at Mar-a-lago? Don’t be a #schmitthead
You sound scared.
Good.

Some of the responses:
It is important to know that you will actually act on your belief that some people are above the law.
You lack the required commitment to the law to be Attorney General let alone a US Senator.
You really do not know how the judicial system works do you. Let me help you. A judge approved a search warrant which was requested by trump’s appointee to the FBI.
Amazing how the GOP supports law and order right up to the point that they break the law.
Dude why are you so obsessed with destructive mechanisms? Ya know blow torches, wrecking balls, bats. Normal people don’t go around wanting to destroy everything. Besides we all know you’re just going to sue everyone with frivolous lawsuits to try and get your way.
Who is it that nominated the current director of the FBI? I’ll wait.
Donald Trump (r).
This is a funny way of saying that you intend to protect lawbreakers from your own party. Shouldn’t an Attorney General be faithful to the law?
Wow. Eric wants to go down w the trump ship. Excellent. Good call, dumass.
Says the fascist AG whose saying he’d be a fascist Senator.
I’m sorry. Which Eric are you? I get confused.
Heh.
Corrupt people are above the law…. Got it. Nice!
As MO AG, you took “overtly political administrative state” to an astonishing level
Rule of Law really makes you mad, doesn’t it?
We know you will sweetie. You’re lying to your people. You are well aware that there had to have been overwhelming evidence for a judge to issue a search warrant, but you pander to the float trip crowd that won’t ever look into this. You’re cute.
Oddly enough, you actually know that’s not how the Senate works.
So, you believe there are special people who are above the law? Ha! And you’re Missouri’s Attorney General? Who else is above the law? Everyone you’re politically aligned with? Who specifically is above the law? Just asking questions.
Ok, so you’ll be soft on Republican crime? Good to know. You know the FBI director was appointed by Trump, right?

FBI memo to agents: ‘Big raid at Mar-a-Lago. Be there, will be wild!’ 6:51 PM · Aug 8, 2022
Richard Barnett, 60, of Gravette, Arkansas was arrested today in Bentonville, Arkansas on multiple criminal charges related to his alleged unlawful activities earlier this week at the U.S. Capitol Building where he was photographed with his feet up on a desk in the Speaker of the House of Representatives’ office.
Barnett is in custody is expected to make his initial appearance today in federal court. He will ultimately be extradited to Washington, D.C.
“The shocking images of Mr. Barnett with his boots up on a desk in the Speaker of the House’s office on Wednesday was repulsive,” said Jeffrey A. Rosen, Acting Attorney General of the United States. “Those who are proven to have committed criminal acts during the storming of the Capitol will face justice.”
According to court documents, U.S. Capitol Police learned that an individual had entered the restricted office area of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and was photographed with his feet propped up on furniture. Those photos were circulated on numerous news media platforms which identified the individual as Barnett. A search of law enforcement databases confirmed that the individual in the news photographs did in fact appear to be Barnett.
“This case is just one in a number that demonstrate the brazen acts that were committed at the Capitol on Wednesday,” said Michael Sherwin, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. “My Office is committed to prosecuting all individuals who participated in these abhorrent acts to the fullest extent of the law.”
“The U.S. Capitol is one of the most iconic buildings in our country and a symbol of the Constitution and people we have sworn to protect, and its destruction will not be tolerated,” said Steven M. D’Antuono, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. “This arrest demonstrates to all individuals involved in January 6 incursion into the U.S. Capitol that the FBI will find you and hold you accountable for your crimes, no matter your location. We thank the FBI Little Rock Field Office for their quick assistance in bringing this perpetrator to justice.”
Barnett is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and theft of public money, property, or records. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI’s Washington Field Office, with the assistance of the Justice Department’s National Security Division and the FBI’s Little Rock Field Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicole McClain of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia is prosecuting the case.
