Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

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.

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…

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
