Biden admin used counterterrorism powers against parents without cause: House Judiciary report

Actually, yeah, I would say that's true most of the time. Both parties like to put on a show for their audiences, I won't deny, but Democrats (generally, though not always) live in a fact-based world.
Using their own cherry picked facts. Your bias is clear. Either the House has a right of oversight or they don't. You're saying a Democratic run House has oversight powers but a Republican run House should not have oversight powers.
 
This is joey xiden's fascist america.

talk about a threat to our democracy....using the full force of the White House to go after parents asking questions at school board meetings.....sick stuff

Simply fascistic behavior by Biden and Reichsleiter Merrick Garland.


The Biden administration had ā€œno legitimate basisā€ to deploy federal counterterrorism resources against parents who protested against local education officials, according to an interim report on Attorney General Merrick Garlandā€™s 2021 school boards memo released by the House Judiciary Committee.
Citing a trove of recently obtained documents, lawmakers behind Judiciaryā€™s weaponization subcommittee probe into the controversial memo said the Biden administration ā€œmisused federal law-enforcement and counterterrorism resources for political purposes.ā€
ā€œThe Justice Departmentā€™s own documents demonstrate that there was no compelling nationwide law-enforcement justification for the Attorney Generalā€™s directive or the Department componentsā€™ execution thereof,ā€ the interim report reads. The panel released documents on Tuesday as part of the report. The documents show ā€œstrong negative reactionsā€ to Mr. Garlandā€™s memo by local law enforcement officials days after it was issued.
Several U.S. Attorneys reported back to DOJ headquarters with objections by their local law enforcement counterparts in issues involving local school board meetings in the weeks following the memo.
William Ihlenfeld II, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia, wrote in a report to DOJ headquarters that there had been ā€œa handfulā€ of local school board meetings where attendees had ā€œbeen boisterous and disruptiveā€ but that those incidents should be handled by local police.
U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft of the Southern District of Illinois reported that Mr. Garlandā€™s memo was ā€œvery poorly receivedā€ among local law enforcement officials, some of whom described the threats outlined in the memo as ā€œa manufactured issue.ā€
ā€œNo one I spoke with in law enforcement seemed to think that there is a serious national threat directed at school boards, which gave the impression that our priorities are misapplied,ā€ Mr. Weinhoft reported to DOJ headquarters.
ā€œSome expressed concerns that the federal government was meddling in an area where it does not belong,ā€ he added.
Despite the lack of a compelling need for federal resources, the FBI acknowledged to the House panel that it opened 25 threat assessments known as ā€œGuardian assessmentsā€ in response to concerns raised over threats against school boards, six of which were conducted but the FBI Counterterrorism Division.
ā€œThese admissions supplement whistleblower disclosures about the FBIā€™s actions, including disclosures the FBI investigated a mom because she belonged to a ā€˜right-wing momā€™s groupā€™ and ā€˜is a gun ownerā€™ and a dad because ā€˜he rails against the government,ā€™ā€ the committee said in Tuesdayā€™s report.
...



The FBI was very justified in opening investigations to potential threats. There are reasons to be concerned. When you have right wing thugs saying that "we know where you live", that is cause for concern. Asking the House Judiciary Committee to be honest is like expecting Al Capone to confess. Shove it up your ass.

Yelling that they know where you live is not asking questions.

I'm telling you. Democrats are after children

Wake up
 
You mean adults who called threats of violence against school officials and cry that they got called out.


I say fuck em.
Your side throws objects and beats political opponents and justifies it as ā€œfree speechā€. Your side also rips innocent people from their cars and beat the. because they made a wrong turn during one of your ā€œsocial justiceā€ protests.

Optics are everything and you are fucked.

The right tries an insurrection, blows up buildings (Ok city), murders doctors and threatens violence at every turn.

And now a former 1-term president threatens death & destruction while announcing a rally at Waco.


How are those optics...

The optics are you just pussied out by not arresting him. God hope that none of your flock decides to take their frustrations out by shooting an open field of Republicans or loot an immigrantā€™s store.

The optics you previously pussied out are not germane to his coming arrest. Mythical gods can't hope that any flock will decide to take out their white grievance by threatening violence upon anyone that threatens it.

Shit or get off the pot. Arrest him. If not, youā€™ve fed him. He owns your head.
