Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin beclowns himself once again when asked about the DOJ trying to prosecute Trump’s political enemies. Mullin made an appearance on this Sunday’s State of the Union on CNN and was asked about the Trump Department of Justice’s failure to get indictments against six members of Congress for seditious conspiracy for heaven forbid urging people to follow the law, and Mullin used the “I’m not an attorney” excuse to pretend he had no reason to weigh in on Trump politicizing the Department of Justice, before accusing the Biden administration of politicizing the DOJ for prosecuting Trump for the actual crimes he committed.
TAPPER: So your fellow Republican Senators were pretty outspoken about what the Trump administration tried to do. Murkowski called the attempted indictments chilling. Tillis called it political lawfare that needs to stop. Grassley said the Justice Department should focus on going after real lawbreakers. Wicker said the grand jury made the right decision.
How do you feel about the Trump administration trying to send those six members of Congress, including two of your Senate colleagues, to prison?
MULLIN: Well, Jake, it’s not the lane I walk in. I leave that to the DOJ. I’m not an attorney. Don’t pretend to be an attorney. My branch of government is the legislative branch.
