Whistleblowers: FBI targeted parents via terrorism tools despite Garland's testimony that it didn't happen
11 May 2022 ~~ By Bradford BetzRepublican Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson say they have evidence that the FBI targeted parents who protested schools' COVID policies despite assurances from Attorney General Merrick Garland that it never happened.
In a letter addressed to the Justice Department, Jordan and Johnson said they have evidence that the FBI labeled dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the bureau’s Counterterrorism Division to assess and track investigations related to school boards. The evidence comes from "brave whistleblowers" within the Department of Justice, they say in the letter addressed to Attorney General Garland.

In another investigation, FBI officials interviewed a dad opposed to masks, according to Jordan and Johnson. The person who reported the dad did so because he supposedly fit the bill of an "insurrectionist" and "rails against the government" and "has a lot of guns and threatens to use them" – claims which the person later admitted they had "no specific information or observations of … any crimes or threats."

"This whistleblower information raises serious concerns that your October 4 memorandum will chill protected First Amendment activity as parents will rightfully fear that their passionate advocacy for their children could result in a visit from federal law enforcement," the lawmakers said.
In testimony before Congress in October 2021, Garland told lawmakers that his Department of Justice had not deployed antiterrorism tools against parents protesting the actions of school boards. "I can’t imagine any circumstance in which the Patriot Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor can I imagine a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorism," he said at the time.
Commentary:
Garland lied to Congress when he testified so why should he ever be believed again.
In fact, both Garland and Mayorkas need to be impeached and the FBI be completely disbanded.
This DOJ has become extremely dangerous. People need to be aware of the surveillance tactics they use to label people as a radical.
Those of us using these boards puts us all on the terror watchlist. It's a good thing DHS (per Mayorkas) had sent zero nationalist incidents to the DOJ. I applaud their tactics keeping Jan 6 folks in the D.C. Gulag while freeing criminals and allowing illegals, terrorists including tons of drugs across our borders. Welcome to the Maoist Socialist States of Brandonia
McConnell was right when he refused to allow Garland to be appointed to SCOTUS.
Garland is just another corrupt ideolog.

The pro-abortion protests, chanting, and screaming outside the homes of six Supreme Court justices violate federal law.
