FBI Whistleblower Exposes ‘Counterterrorism Tools’ Used Against Parents

Via Breitbart:

Following a whistleblower’s revelation that the FBI is utilizing counterterrorism tactics to investigate parents considered to be potential “domestic terrorists” for voicing concerns about education in their local school districts, Republicans blasted the “disgrace[ful]” move as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland, with many calling for his immediate resignation.

The alarming allegations, which state the FBI is adding “threat tags” to parents, appear to contradict Garland’s testimony on October 21 during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in which he claimed the Department of Justice and the FBI were not using counterterrorism tools to investigate parents at school board meetings.

“The FBI spied on President Trump’s campaign. They abused the FISA process. And now they’re targeting parents,” wrote Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a ranking member of the House Judiciary, who publicized a letter addressed to Garland detailing the whistleblower’s claims.

“As we speak, Joe Biden’s FBI is spying on parents,” tweeted out the Republican House Judiciary Committee. “All because of a letter sent from the National School Boards Association that was withdrawn.”  

“Terrifying,” the committee added.

“CONFIRMED BY WHISTLEBLOWER: The FBI used the counterterrorism division to investigate parents,” wrote House Republican Whip Steve Scalise. “These documents contradict what AG Garland told Congress under oath.”

“The Biden Administration treats parents who disagree with them like terrorists,” he added. “We can’t tolerate this.”

“The communist democrat party declared war on parents by weaponizing the ever crooked FBI,” wrote congressional candidate Josh Barnett “I’m so sick of watching our country go to _________!”

“I’m running to fight for the People!” he added.

“The FBI is targeting parents who speak out against critical race theory,” wrote Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). “AG Garland should testify under oath about this immediately.”

“What a disgrace!” he added.

“Attorney General Merrick Garland has some explaining to do,” wrote Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) “New @JudiciaryGOP‘s whistleblower documents show that the FBI’s counterterrorism unit is adding a ‘THREAT TAG’ to parents who protest at local school boards.”

 “How’s this not an attempt to target parents who disagree?” he added.

“Biden’s DOJ is weaponizing the FBI against parents & lying to Congress about doing it,” wrote  Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK).

“Despite AG Garland denying this UNDER OATH, we now know the FBI’s counterterrorism division is adding a ‘threat tag’ to parents who protest at local school boards,” he added. “Every part of this wrong.”

“The FBI is using its counterterrorism division to investigate and add ‘threat tags’ to parents speaking out at school board meetings,” wrote Jane Timken, former chair of the Ohio Republican Party.  

“This is deeply disturbing and proves that Merrick Garland LIED under oath,” she added. “Garland needs to answer for this immediately.”

“The labeling of parents as ‘domestic terrorists’ was followed up by the FBI using counterterrorism measures to investigate moms and dads,” wrote Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC).

“AG Garland better be prepared to answer for this,” he added.

“A whistleblower just revealed that the Biden DOJ used the FBI counterterrorism division to go after parents who spoke out against the Biden political agenda,” wrote Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.).

“Congress must hold immediate oversight hearings over this attack on constitutional rights, and AG Garland must resign,” she added.
