Did AG Merrick Garland sic the counterterrorism division on concerned parents?
American Thinker ^ | 17 Nov, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

There’s evidence that he did just that while the DOJ and FBI are currently being very passive about actual threats of violence at a Fort Worth school board meeting.

We know that, after conferring with the White House, the National School Boards Association (“NSBA”) sent a letter to the White House claiming that parents angry at Critical Race Theory and pornography in schools were tantamount to domestic terrorists. Attorney General Merrick Garland responded to the letter by promising to provide FBI support for school boards. When called before the House, Garland swore that he never thought angry parents were domestic terrorists. However, Republicans on the House Judiciary committee now assert that an email from an FBI whistleblower shows that Garland, at worst, lied and, at best, seriously misspoke.

The charges against Garland appear in a November 16 letter from Jim Jordan, the Ranking Member of the House’s Committee on the Judiciary:

Because the letter is long, let me summarize it for you. Jordan quotes Garland’s testimony (under oath) to the effect that he could not “imagine any circumstances in which the Patriot Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor...a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorists.” Garland also stated, “I do not think that parents getting angry at school boards for whatever reason constitute domestic terrorism. It’s not even a close question.”

would it matter to this CHINESE Congress of liars, schemers, and election cheaters???

“Merrick Garland testified that the FBI wasn’t targeting parents,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R) said.
“We now know the FBI is “tagging” parents they consider threatening. The Attorney General has some explaining to do.”

Just imagine the most craven plans and you can believe these Aholes are devising them as we speak.

Garland lied to Congress about it.

Isn’t that a crime of some type? Or is that just for Republicans?

He also was nominated to SCOTUS.

The GOPe = Washington Generals of American politics. They’re the fake opposition meant to ‘try’ as hard as they can but ultimately just there to lose.

The Uniparty has two wings to create the illusion to the American public that we live in a functional system. Trump - essentially a third-party candidate that used the label Republican but clearly opposed the open borders - America Last policies.

Or you can use the pro wresting analogy. The two contestants know who is going to win before the first bell.

There should be a law that the first time you vote for something that you campaigned against,

YOU ARE FIRED, YOU ARE RECALLED, YOU ARE DISMISSED FROM YOUR JOB, AND

You are charged with LYING TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

THAT would stop the lying while running.

If Garland lied to congress he should face the same fate that others who have committed the same crime have faced! Else he should admit that he is 'above the law'!!!!!

Let's put all the cards on the table so that we know where we stand!!!!!!

“Critical Race Theory and pornography in schools“

In a sane world, the Department of Justice would consider the school boards promoting this as child abusers and domestic terrorists.

Garland is an extreme leftist. He lies for the good of the “cause.”

Garland is the same kind of slime as Mayorkas, both of them deserve to burn in hell. You can throw Yellin and a host of others in there with them.
