I think it\u2019s going to have to wait until November till there\u2019s a full investigation,\u201d Paul told Fox News on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>While he\u2019s never been fond of \u201coverusing impeachment,\u201d Paul said that \u201cI think there has to be an investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if it warrants it, there\u2019s going to have to be a look at whether or not the attorney general has misused his office for political purposes. Have they gone after a political opponent? I mean, this is beyond the pale,\u201d Paul said in the interview. \u201cNo one would have ever imagined before that we would be using or one political party would be using the FBI to attack their political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The party of the president tends to lose seats in midterms, while some analysts say that Republicans are poised to take back at least the House after the November elections. Democrats currently hold slim leads over Republicans in both the Senate and House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, this is really something that\u2019s going to require an investigation,\u201d Paul said. \u201cAnd I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the investigation leads to abuse of power that this could even lead to an impeachment of the attorney general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the former president confirmed his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach was targeted in an FBI raid. Neither the Department of Justice nor the FBI has offered public comments about the matter.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/06\/16\/sen-rand-paul-2-1200x800.jpg\"><\/a> Sen.
