States accuse Biden administration of concealing and downplaying its 'culpability' in school board memo..
Thirteen states have signed on to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking Biden administration records on any FBI surveillance of parents protesting school boards.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a former member of Congress, has taken the lead in the lawsuit against President Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, citing a failure of U.S. officials to honor FOIA requests.
The Indiana attorney general previously demanded all communications and records relating to the FBI's decision to investigate violent threats against local education officials.
"We just want the facts," Rokita told Fox News Digital. "Rather than cooperate, the Biden administration has sought to conceal and downplay its culpability. What are they hiding? Why won’t they come clean? Hoosiers and all Americans deserve to know."

Plaintiffs in the case are Indiana, Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.
Cardona solicited the National School Boards Association's (NSBA) much-criticized letter to Biden that compared protesting parents to domestic terrorists and suggested using the Patriot Act against them
...
Days after the NSBA sent its letter to Biden, Garland sent a memo directing the FBI to mobilize in support of local education officials. During testimony before a congressional committee in October, Garland denied using the "domestic terrorist" label.

Most transparent administration in history...Bullshit
Obama’s FBI is out of control. I knew that bastard Garland was a fascist punk.
I applaud the effort, but that quaint old constitution is no longer a factor.
btt
Extremely important news.
Oh, they’re transparent, alright, but not in the way they want to project.
bkmk
Does anybody believe that the FBI would actually follow a court order on this?
Student can be surveilled while on premises, not when they go home or are picked up off campus.
Hasn’t been since it was abrogated by BOTH parties on Usurpation Day.
Everything going on today flows from that fatal error.
Gee, I didn’t see New York or California in that along witha lot of other blue states. I wonder why?
Yes and return pages of blacked out documents. Methods and sources don’t ya know.
