GOP and 連邦検察局 are at 半端物s as 共和国の/共和党のs move to stop the 機関's new (警察,軍隊などの)本部 after Trump 調査(する)s

WASHINGTON (AP) - When (衆議院の)議長 Kevin McCarthy 示唆するd recently he might stop the 連邦検察局 from relocating its downtown (警察,軍隊などの)本部 to a new 施設 planned for the Washington 郊外s, it was more than idle thinking about an office 革新.

The nod from the 共和国の/共和党の (衆議院の)議長 is elevating a once-fringe 提案 to upend the 連邦検察局 in the 影響 of the 連邦の 起訴,告発 of Donald Trump over 分類するd 文書s and the 司法(官) Department's 起訴 of his 同盟(する)s, 含むing some of the nearly 1,000 people 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂.

Moving from far-権利 corners into the mainstream, the 現れるing 成果/努力 to 精密検査する the nation´s 首相 法律 施行 機関 is rooted in ますます 強烈な 保守的な (民事の)告訴s about an 極端に biased 連邦検察局 that they (人命などを)奪う,主張する is 存在 weaponized against them.

"This is a pretty 劇の 逆転 of what the politics would have been 50 years ago," said Beverly Gage, a historian at Yale who won a 2023 Pulitzer Prize for he r biography of the 伝説の 連邦検察局 director, "G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century."

The 転換ing 態度s の中で 共和国の/共和党の members of 議会 toward the 連邦検察局 強調する the way Trump´s personal grievances have become 法律を制定する 政策. Once the party of 法律 and order, 共和国の/共和党のs are now antagonists of 連邦の 法律 施行, 土台を崩すing a storied 会・原則 and attacking 司法(官) Department 公式の/役人s whose work is foundational to American 僕主主義.

While political 批評 of the 連邦検察局 has followed the bureau since its 設立するing with Hoover, who famously wiretapped civil 権利s leaders and orchestrated the infiltration of left-wing political organizations, the 権利-側面に位置する (選挙などの)運動をする against 連邦の 法律 施行 had mostly simmered at the 利ざやs of party politics.

But the 司法(官) Department´s 起訴,告発 of Trump, who has pleaded not 有罪の to 37 重罪 counts over 蓄える/店ing and 辞退するing to return 分類するd 文書s at his 損なう-a-Lago club, and the 現在進行中の 起訴 of Trump 支持者s who 嵐/襲撃するd the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂, have 燃料d 保守的な 怒り/怒る. The 司法(官) Department is also 調査/捜査するing Trump and his 同盟(する)s over the 成果/努力 to challenge 大統領 Joe Biden´s 選挙 in the run-up to the 2021 (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 attack.

保守的なs 非難する the 連邦の 法律 施行 on 多重の 前線s; の中で them, its work with social マスコミ companies to 旗 潜在的に dangerous postings, and a COVID-時代 覚え書き from 司法長官 Merrick Garland directing 資源s to 戦闘 暴力/激しさ against school 公式の/役人s. They compare the Trump 調査s with what they say was a sweetheart 取引,協定 for Hunter Biden, the 大統領,/社長´s son, who is pleading 有罪の to 軽罪 税金 回避 after a long 調査.

"Looking at the 活動/戦闘s of the 連邦検察局, I think the whole leadership needs to change," McCarthy told reporters at the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 last month.

Fresh from a visit with 法律 施行 in California, McCarthy said he 想像するs decentralizing the 連邦検察局 by spreading 操作/手術s into the 明言する/公表するs.

"This idea that we´re going to build a new, big 米国防総省 and put all the 連邦検察局 おもに in one place, I don´t think it´s a good structure," McCarthy said Friday, panning a 保守的な-led 提案 to relocate the 連邦検察局 to Alabama.

"I´d like to see the structure of a much smaller 連邦検察局 行政 building, and more 連邦検察局 スパイ/執行官s out across the country, helping to keep the country 安全な," he said. "To me that´s better."

In many ways, the 抵抗 to a 強健な 連邦の 法律 施行 機関 延長するs a thread that has run across American history - from the 影響 of the Civil War, when Southern 明言する/公表するs 拒絶するd 連邦の 軍隊/機動隊s for 再建, to Trump´s own 2024 (選挙などの)運動をする 告示 in Waco, Texas, a 地域 known for the 連邦の 包囲 of a 分離主義者 構内/化合物 in 1993.

"The Washington (警察,軍隊などの)本部 is symbo lic," said Steven G. Bradbury, a former Trump 行政 general counsel who is now a 上級の fellow at the 遺産 創立/基礎, a 保守的な think 戦車/タンク.

遺産 is の中で those outside (独立の)存在s and advocacy organizations encouraging 議会 to reimagine the 連邦検察局.

Bradbury´s "How to 直す/買収する,八百長をする the 連邦検察局" 報告(する)/憶測 輪郭(を描く)s nearly a dozen 選択s. One is 規模ing 支援する its 裁判権. Another is to 精密検査する section 702 of the Foreign 知能 監視 行為/法令/行動する, known as FISA, that was part of the Trump-Russia 調査 over 2016 選挙 干渉,妨害 and is a program some 民主党員s also want to 限界.

"We have our finger on the pulse of what 保守的なs are 反応するing to," said Bradbury. "The 連邦検察局 needs to be rebuilt."

Last week, 連邦検察局 Director Christopher Wray appeared before the House 司法の 委員会 for the first time since 共和国の/共和党のs took 支配(する)/統制する in January, 直面するing a long 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) of 批評s, (民事の)告訴s and 告訴,告発s of bias at the bureau.

"Are you 保護するing the Bidens?' asked Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

"絶対 not," Wray said.

At another point Wray said, "The idea that I´m biased against 保守的なs seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background."

He is a longtime 共和国の/共和党の who had been 任命するd by Trump to fill the 職業 after Director James Comey was 解雇する/砲火/射撃d in 2017.

Wray told the 国会議員s that 取り去る/解体するing or defunding the 連邦検察局 would be 悲惨な for the bureau´s 38,000 従業員s and "傷つける our 広大な/多数の/重要な 明言する/公表する 地元の 法律 施行 partners that depend on us each day to work with them on a whole slew of challenging 脅しs."

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the 議長,司会を務める of the 連邦議会の 進歩/革新的な (政党の)幹部会,党集会, called the 審理,公聴会 "bizarre."

"I didn´t think I would ever see 共和国の/共和党のs attacking a 共和国の/共和党の 任命するd by Donald Trump to lead the nation´s largest 法律 施行 機関, essentially 説 they want to defund the 連邦検察局," she said.

The 国会議員 said it was also 半端物 to find herself defending the 連邦の 法律 施行 機関 that she, too, believes needs strong oversight from 議会. But she felt 民主党員s had to step in to 反対する 共和国の/共和党の attacks on the 連邦検察局.

"That´s their message: They want to shut 負かす/撃墜する the 連邦検察局 because the 連邦検察局 is continuing to 調査/捜査する Donald Trump," said Jayapal. "And that is really what this is about."

司法の 委員会 Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, submitted a 提案 before the 審理,公聴会 that calls for "除去するing taxpayer 基金ing for any new 連邦検察局 headquarter 施設."

Jordan said in a letter to the 共和国の/共和党の 議長,司会を務める of the House (資金の)充当/歳出s 委員会 that he also wants a 計画(する) for moving the 連邦検察局 (警察,軍隊などの)本部 out of Washington, 公式文書,認めるing an 存在するing 施設 in Huntsville, Alabama - a 推薦 遺産 has also made.

"One of the goals we´ve 始める,決める in this 議会 as 共和国の/共和党のs is to do the oversight so we can 衝撃 the (資金の)充当/歳出s 過程," Jordan said in a 簡潔な/要約する interview at the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂, and "put 制限s on how taxpayer money is spent to stop the weaponization of these 機関s against the American people."

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, which is competing with 隣接地の Maryland to host the new 連邦検察局 (警察,軍隊などの)本部, called the 共和国の/共和党の ideas "a 解答 in search of a problem."

"I think they just got a political bug against 連邦の 法律 施行 機関s," he said.< /p>
