Josh Hawley: FBI ‘Effectively Meddled’ in 2016 Presidential Election

EXCERPT:

HAWLEY: "I think it’s very significant. Let me be honest with you. Here's the question I'm starting with: Which is worse? Is it worse to have a foreign government trying to meddle in our elections or is it worse to have our own government meddling in the election? Because that’s I think exactly what this report shows. It shows that our government, the most powerful law enforcement agency in the nation, the FBI, effectively meddled in an ongoing presidential campaign. And the thing that gets me is, you expect it from foreign governments. I’m not saying it’s good. I’m saying you expect it. They’ve been doing it for years. Russia has been doing it for years. We know they’ve tried to do it this last cycle. China has been doing it, others have been doing it. And we know what steps to take, we’ve got to take them more effectively. But when our own government does it, how can the American people have confidence and what do we do?”
