He, Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger are singular individuals with an interest in protecting the USA from internal aggression, but, they aren't having an easy time of it. In this case, the Former Vice President is standing up for the FBI and basically telling whoever is the GOP, "KNOCK IT OFF." He didn't say it that way.

Manchester - Former Vice President Mike Pence (click here) on Wednesday implored fellow Republicans to stop lashing out at the FBI over the search of Donald Trump’s Florida home and denounced calls by some of the former president’s allies to defund the FBI, saying that was “just as wrong” as a push by Democratic activists to shift money from police.
Pence also said he would give “due consideration” if asked to testify before the House committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
His pleas for restraint come as law enforcement officials warn of an escalating number of violent threats targeting federal agents and government facilities since agents last week searched Mar-a-Lago as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump’s estate earlier this year.
Speaking in New Hampshire, Pence said he has been troubled by what he called the politicization of the FBI. He also said the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland should be more forthcoming about what led authorities to conduct the search.
