Proof that AG Garland misled Congress about silencing parents who dissent

Attorney General Merrick Garland stands exposed as a liar or a fool.
He testified to Congress last month that he didn’t order the targeting of parents who criticize schools policies, let alone treat them as domestic terrorists. Now an internal Justice Department memo shows just that is under way.
Garland needs to explain his apparent perjury, pronto. And quash the efforts that the memo exposes.
Again: He told lawmakers that Justice and the FBI are not using counterterror tools to target parents, as the National School Boards Association had requested in a letter crafted with the White House. Yet House Republicans this week released a whistleblower’s bombshell e-mail — sent on behalf of the FBI’s Counterterrorism and Criminal Investigations divisions the day before the AG testified — asking agents to “apply” a “threat tag” and “track” threats against school officials.
That order followed on Garland’s instructions for US attorneys to “convene meetings” with FBI agents and local leaders to address the supposed threats from parents — which don’t actually exist. Even if the AG didn’t know his underlings were following his orders when he testified, he should have corrected himself publicly once he learned.
“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 terrorism,” said Garland.

Time to drag this phony SOB back to the Judiciary Committee to show cause why he shouldn't be impeached and removed from office. We may have to wait until we have a real congress in order to do this.
