Republicans walk tightrope in defending Trump, condemning weaponization of DOJ
Republicans find themselves in a delicate position, backing the president even as they voice concerns over the politicization of institutions traditionally seen as nonpartisan after President Donald Trump openly urged the Justice Department to pursue investigations into his political rivals.
In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called for politics to be kept out of the judicial system.
“Lawfare in all forms is bad,” the Kentucky Republican said. “We need to get politics out of the judicial system as much as we can,” Paul said.
Paul’s remarks came hours after Trump publicly called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to press forward on investigations against former FBI director, James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Republicans are used to these things, like how do they kiss Trump's oversized stinky ass without gagging.
