Democrats have completely weaponized the Department of Justice and the FBI against the American people.
In the battle between ordinary parents and school boards, the DOJ used counterterrorism tools against parents, according to a whistleblower in the FBI.
This is a huge scandal, even if the liberal media ignores it.
From National Review, via Yahoo News:
FBI Whistleblower Claims DOJ Used Counterterrorism Tools against Parents in Response to School-Board Memo
Citing an internal email provided by an FBI whistleblower, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee revealed Tuesday that the Bureau has created a system to track threats against school board officials and administrators, and accused Attorney General Merrick Garland of misleading lawmakers when he was asked about the subject during his previous testimony before the committee.
The FBI’s “Counterterrorism and Criminal Divisions created a threat tag, EDUOFFICIALS, to track instances of related threats,” according to the email. “The purpose of the threat tag is to help scope this threat on a national level and provide an opportunity for comprehensive analysis of the threat picture for effective engagement with law enforcement.”
The email was signed by Counterterrorism Division assistant director Timothy Langan, and former Criminal Division assistant director Calvin Shivers, who retired earlier this month.
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote that the whistleblower email “provides specific evidence” that federal law enforcement employed counterterrorism tools “against concerned parents.”

This is serious.
BREAKING: House Republicans have obtained whistleblower documents showing that the FBI is using its counterterrorism division to investigate and add "threat tags" to parents—contradicting Attorney General Garland's sworn testimony.

This is the smoking gun. Attorney General Garland provided zero evidence that parents are engaging in credible threats or acts of violence. And yet, he mobilized the FBI Counterterrorism Division to use counterterrorism tools for investigating, tracking, and tagging parents. pic.twitter.com/PHpVIqvlBw

A nation interested in its own survival wouldn’t ask Merrick Garland to resign. It would throw him in a dark hole for the rest of his life.
Using the FBI as a weapon against your political opponents should warrant the death penalty. It’s that serious.

Will anyone be held accountable for this?
