WELL, WELL, WELL!

WELL, WELL, WELL! What do we have here? NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS US ATTORNEY GENERAL LIED; FBI DID TARGET PARENTS WHO PROTESTED AT SCHOOL BOARDS.

Republican Representatives Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson claim they have evidence that the FBI did indeed target school board parents and 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.

 

According to the representatives, an internal email from the FBI’s criminal and counterterrorism division contained instructions to apply a new threat tag to all investigations and assessments of threats that had to do with education officials.

 

Again according to Fox News, “Jordan and Johnson, citing a whistleblower, said the FBI opened investigations with the EDUOFFICIALS threat in every region of the country and relating to all types of educational settings.”

 

To be clear, there is still to this day no actual evidence of terrorism threats at these protests. The investigation included things like an investigation into a mom who committed the high crime of being a gun owner and participating in a right-wing group called “Moms for Liberty.” Another father was targeted for having “anti-government views” (who doesn’t these days?).

 

The U.S. government targeting civilians this way is not only a massive crime that  violated the civil liberties of every parent involved, it was also an incredible waste of resources. While the FBI can barely clear half of all murders each year, and while it fails to catch actual terrorists on its watchlist like the recent NYC subway bomber, it instead spends our tax dollars in this manner. And then to add insult to injury the US Attorney General lies about their activities to the American people.

Heads should roll over this scandal.
