House Judiciary GOP: FBI Is Tracking Parent Protesters
Quote:We previously covered the disgusting politicization of the FBI and DOJ to put their criminal prosecution weight to silence the parent protest movement.
The House Judiciary GOP has obtained documents showing the the FBI is executing on the plan, specifically monitoring parents. The Wall Street Journal reports:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has set up a process to track threats against school-board members and teachers, moving to implement a Justice Department directive that some law-enforcement officials and Republican lawmakers say could improperly target parents protesting local education policies.
The heads of the FBI’s criminal and counterterrorism divisions instructed agents in an Oct. 20 memo to flag all assessments and investigations into potentially criminal threats, harassment and intimidation of educators with a “threat tag,” which the officials said would allow them to evaluate the scope of the problem.
The internal email asks FBI agents to consider the motivation behind any criminal activity and whether it potentially violates federal law. Agents should tag such threats “EDUOFFICIALS” to better track them, according to the memo, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
“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 partners at all levels,” says the email signed by Timothy Langan, the FBI’s assistant director for counterterrorism, and Calvin Shivers, the assistant director of the bureau’s criminal division, who retired this month.
An FBI agent provided a copy of the internal email to several Republican lawmakers, citing concerns that it could open the door for the bureau to collect information on parents voicing their opposition to local school policies during meetings.
WAJ further reports:
“The FBI has never been in the business of investigating parents who speak out or policing speech at school board meetings, and we are not going to start now,” the FBI said Tuesday in a statement. “We are fully committed to preserving and protecting First Amendment rights, including freedom of speech.”
The claim that they only track “threats” is complete BS, as we have seen time and again, parents raising their voices as school board meetings are called threats. There have been close to zero acts of violence, and any disruptions have been and can be handled by local authortities. There is no reason for the federal government to be bringing its law enforcement weight to bear in monitoring a peaceful protest movement, other than for political purposes.

1. Garland lied under oath
2. Once again the FBI is a lost cause. Break it up
3. Using counterintelligence measures against US citizens let alone parents is a chilling indictment where we as a nation have fallen; although spying on a presidential campaign and sitting President based off a political enemy’s lies was already a bridge too far but somehow very few are outrage about it

Oh, I'm so surprised!
Now, watch how nothing will come of it. The Dip Garland will just shake it off and since he's AG he will come out smelling like roses.
Have you yet to see a Demon get incarcerated for their wrongdoings? Well, it won't happen yet.
