<p>A top House Democrat asserted on Sunday he was not privy to any evidence that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> has been &#8220;weaponized&#8221; against any political party, which would include the GOP.</p>
<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamie-raskin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Raskin</a> (D-MD), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, dismissed the idea that Republicans believe they have been unfairly targeted by the bureau during an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; with host Kasie Hunt.</p>

<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen what the proof is that the FBI has been weaponized against a political party, or the Department of Justice. Of course, this Department of Justice has brought charges against a Democratic U.S. senator in New Jersey, a Democratic congressman in Texas,&#8221; Raskin said, alluding to former Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bob-menendez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Menendez</a> (D-NJ) and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-henry-cuellar-indicted-in-federal-corruption-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX)</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;And so some people just seem to think that it should go only in one direction, and, if it doesn&#8217;t, then somehow it&#8217;s politicized,&#8221; Raskin added. &#8220;And I think that&#8217;s what they mean when they talk about politicization and the deep state. I mean, the deep state, nobody&#8217;s ever defined it. Apparently, it just means anybody who doesn&#8217;t do the will of Donald Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-nominates-fighter-kash-patel-for-fbi-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Saturday evening that he would be nominating Kash Patel to lead the FBI, saying that his pick would strive toward restoring &#8220;integrity&#8221; to the bureau. Republicans allies hailed the selection as one that will lead to rooting out partisanship.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, I don&#8217;t want a Republican Department of Justice. I don&#8217;t want a Democrat Department of Justice. I want a Department of Justice and an FBI that enforces the law regardless of party. And sadly, we haven&#8217;t seen that these last four years, &#8221; Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/12/01/sen_ted_cruz_kash_patel_is_a_real_reformer.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; interview on CBS.</p>
<p>Raskin, who led the January 6-focused impeachment inquiry against Trump and member of the now-defunct January 6 Committee, is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/us/politics/democrats-nadler-raskin.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> being talked about as potentially taking over as the lead Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Department of Justice — including the FBI.</p>
<p>When pressed by Hunt whether he wants to challenge Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) for the ranking member position in the judiciary panel, Raskin said, &#8220;I&#8217;m not ruling anything out at this point. And we&#8217;re engaged in conversations, all with the purpose of creating a strategic focus and capacity within the Democratic members of the House, so that we&#8217;re going to be a really effective and muscular opposition.&#8221;</p>
