Republican Rep. Bob Good on Thursday called for the impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray in response to the indictment of former President Donald Trump
On Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene vowed to introduce a measure that would defund Smith’s investigations into Trump, calling them a “weaponized government attempt to take down the top political enemy.”“for facilitating the weaponization and politicization of the United States justice system against the American people.”
The impeachment articles, introduced by Greene last month, further accuse the attorney general of failing “to uphold his oath” and “utilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a federal police force to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime.” Not all Republicans are onboard with efforts to strip the DOJ of funding and impeaching the attorney general.

Bush aide Karl Rove denounced calls to defund the FBI, likening cutting funding for the bureau as being “no different than scrapping the San Francisco Police Department.”
Senate Minority Whip John Thune also called GOP efforts to cut funding for the DOJ a “really bad idea” Thursday. “Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea,” he added.
