{{quotebox-float|"This is about [[J6 protests|January 6.]] If you believe this has to do with classified documents, having to do with bullsh*t Trump took with him when he left office, your head is in the sky. This is about January 6 and the never-ending desire to get Donald Trump on something. They don’t want him to run for election again. They’re mad that he did not get convicted on the first or second [[impeachment]], they are mad that he did not get pursued criminally by the New York D.A. They are mad [[Russiagate]] fell apart and they are mad he is ahead in the [[poll]]s, crushing [[DeSantis]], and that his candidates of choice all won [[primaries]] last week, and the [[Democrat]]s are prepared to play dirty. Attorney General Merrick Garland is clearly willing to go along with that. He’s been moving in, in concentric circles toward Donald Trump over the past several weeks, going after his top advisor with subpoenas, we’ve seen close Trump advisors in handcuffs, dragged away as if they’re like mobsters. This is really getting alarming and the American public deserves answers."<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/megyn-kelly-reacts-fbi-raid-trumps-home-bullst-video/</ref>}}

Kimberley Strassel writing in the ''[[Wall Street Journal]] noteed:
{{quotebox-float|"Garland’s raid has made even the highest political figures fair prosecutorial game, and the [[media]]’s new standard is that the department can’t be questioned as it goes about ensuring “no one is above the law.” Let’s see how that holds when a future Republican Justice Department starts raiding the homes of [[Joe Biden]], Hillary Clinton, [[Barack Obama]], [[Eric Holder]], [[James Comey]] and [[John B</ref>rennan]].
Payback could come even sooner. Democrats set a new low with their [[Ukrainian]] impeachment circus, and a [[GOP]] House next year might be up for a reprise. Get ready for a few more select committees—perhaps excluding the minority party, as the Democrats effectively did with the [[Pelosi Panel|Jan. 6 committee]]—to investigate Mr. Garland’s politicized department or [[Hunter Biden]]’s finances. Watch them subpoena sitting Democratic representatives, as the Jan. 6 committee did to Republicans. Reps. [[Adam Schiff]], [[Ilhan Omar]] and [[Eric Swalwell]] may find themselves on the back bench with a new Republican majority eager to follow Mrs. Pelosi’s example and strip the opposing team’s members of committee assignments.
All this tit for tat will further undermine our institutions and polarize the nation—but such is the nature of retributive politics. Which is why the wholesale Democratic and media defense of this week’s events is so reckless. Both parties long understood that political restraint was less about civility than self-preservation. What goes around always comes around. What went around this week will come around hard."<ref>https://archive.ph/Aucm2#selection-471.286-515.1</ref>
