WHO CARES IF HE’S CORRUPT?!?! HE’S FIGHTING AMERICA’S “DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. “AG Garland’s potential conflict of interest on son-in-law’s firm backing critical race theory under scrutiny.”
A conservative government watchdog is seeking information related to reports that Attorney General Merrick Garland‘s son-in-law is the co-founder of a company that promotes critical race theory (CRT) in the classroom.
America First Legal (AFL) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with DOJ on Wednesday seeking records related to Garland’s Oct. 4 memo, which directed DOJ’s National Security Division and the FBI to investigate “threatening” parents at school board meetings speaking out against CRT.
In 2018, Garland’s daughter Rebecca married Xan Tanner, co-founder of Panorama Education, a consultancy tied to Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg’s charitable foundation – dubbed the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative – was listed in 2017 as one of several organizations that gave a collective $16 million to Panorama, which would use that for social-emotional efforts.
A press release read: “Panorama Education will use the funding to expand its tools that help school districts develop students’ social and emotional skills, promote family engagement with school, and increase college readiness.”
Stephen Miller, America First Legal founder and former adviser to President Trump, told Fox News that it is important to look into any “ethical conflicts” stemming from Garland’s personal family financial interests.
“AG Garland ordered the DOJ to use its vast national security powers to target parents who object to Critical Race Theory being forced onto innocent children. It is therefore exceptionally urgent that the Department disclose all records pertaining to the Garland family’s financial interest in Critical Race Theory and any and all ethical conflicts that arise from that financial interest,” said Miller.
“Accordingly, Mr. Tanner’s financial interest in a business that benefits from CRT and gender ideology indoctrination might render the Attorney General’s participation in measures to promote or protect such activities, including the October 4, 2021 memorandum, ethically problematic,” said America First Legal in the announcement of the FOIA request.
