Whistleblower Exposes Huge FBI/DOJ Scandal

It’s what we feared. Whistleblowers within the Department of Justice have reportedly confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is indeed investigating parents’ rhetoric and behavior at school board meetings as potential terrorists.

Attorney General Merrick Garland denied this in testimony before the Judiciary Committee:

"I can’t imagine any circumstance in which the Patriot Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor can I imagine a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorists. Parents have been complaining about the education of their children and about school boards since there were such things as school boards and public education. This is totally protected by the First Amendment."

So, did Garland lie under oath? Did he not know it was still going on? Congress is demanding answers. Representatives Jim Jordan (OH-4) and Mike Johnson (LA-4) sent a letter to the Attorney General calling him out based on what the whistleblower reports revealed:

"We now have evidence that, contrary to your testimony, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has labeled at least dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division to assess and track investigations related to school boards."

Congressman Johnson joined Sekulow to offer his direct insight:

"This is a big deal. We have been investigating this for some time. Our Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, we have jurisdiction over the Department of Justice and all of its agencies and divisions. We have been investigating the Biden Administration’s misuse of law enforcement resources, and part of that has been to target concerned parents. They have been doing this since last fall.

Remember all the angry mama bears and all the dads. They were going to the school board meetings. They were protesting. They were letting their voices be heard. They were exercising the First Amendment. They were letting these school boards at the local level know, they were not on board with the CRT nonsense, and they didn’t like the mask mandates and all that. . . .

Here is the problem, the Department of Justice and the FBI targeted those parents and considered them a threat. Now, here’s the deal, when Merrick Garland came in front of our committee in October, we asked him under oath right in front of the Judiciary Committee whether that was true or not. He said that those parents have never been targeted. Now we have a whistleblower that confirms our worst fears."

We will be demanding answers into the FBI’s investigation of concerned parents based on rhetoric at school board meetings. We’ve fought at the school board level since the very beginning of the ACLJ, and we will continue so that these parents have a say in their children’s education and not be intimidated by the Biden Administration’s abuse of power.
