‘In a Body Bag’: GOP Candidate Says He’d Kill FBI Agents if They Tried to Search Home; Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid (VIDEO)

By Yahoo Sports. A Sarasota candidate for Congress says he would have killed the FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s property if they tried to do the same thing to his home.

“I wish they’d turn up at my home ’cause they’d have gone home in a body bag,” Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde says in a new video.

Hyde is a Republican running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key. He has been a magnet for controversy, with his campaign imploding after he was caught on camera in February berating a Sarasota police officer and threatening her job during a traffic stop.

It appeared Hyde might drop out of the race, but he paid the qualifying fee and has remained a candidate. His campaign hasn’t attracted much attention since then until now, when Hyde put out the inflammatory video in the closing stretch of the Aug. 23 primary. . .

“When they turned up at Mar-a-Lago and raided the home of President Trump, that was an assault on every one of the 75 million people who voted for Donald Trump, it was a assault on democracy,” Hyde says as the video shows images of police officers, Mar-a-Lago and Trump supporters. “These people would stop at nothing. I wish they’d turn up at my home ’cause they’d have gone home in a body bag.”

House Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid

By New York Post. ​The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee on Sunday said the affidavit authorizing the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida ​home should be released in the interest of transparency — as a GOP colleague said the search warrants heightened scrutiny.

Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence panel, said the court document would provide information “to understand how did the FBI justify raiding Mar-a-Lago.”

“Certainly, the American public wants to make certain this is not an abuse of discretion,” Turner said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”​

Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, meanwhile, said the execution of the search warrant ​​​Aug. 8 on Trump’s ​members-only resort in Palm Beach “is a very unprecedented measure” that needs to be looked at more closely.

“When you’re going after an ex-president who may run again — this is automatically political,” Crenshaw said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union​.” (Read more from “House Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid” HERE)
