Yesterday, FBI Director Christopher Wray appeared before the House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n

I zeroed in on one of the worst abuses of power we\u2019ve seen: the Biden Administration\u2019s targeting of parents, calling their efforts to advocate for their kids at school board meetings a form of \u201cdomestic terrorism.\u201d You can watch my five-minute exchange with Director Wray\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, as parents joined together and spoke out against the COVID insanity, Biden tried to nip this growing movement in the bud. Attorney Merrick Garland penned an infamous memo unleashing the sweeping powers of federal law enforcement on them.<\/p>\n

As a pretext for targeting parents, the memo cited a rise in \u201cthreats of violence.\u201d In response to my first question \u2013 whether Garland even bothered to consult the FBI before issuing the memo based on that explosive claim \u2013 Wray quickly threw the Attorney General under the bus:<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t get into discussions that did, or\u00a0maybe more importantly did not, happen between the FBI and the Department in advance.\u201d As the Daily Caller\u2019s\u00a0headline<\/span><\/a>\u00a0put it: \u201cFBI Director Distances Himself From Merrick Garland\u2019s Attempt To Turn Parents Into Terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wray then confirmed that Garland\u2019s pretext was made up. He admitted the FBI had not seen any \u201cuptick\u201d in threats and that not a single parent was guilty of a federal crime, despite dozens being tagged and profiled and countless others surveilled and intimidated.<\/p>\n

Finally, I asked if he disputed the conclusion that \u201cthere was no compelling nationwide law enforcement justification for the Attorney General\u2019s directive.\u201d Wray\u2019s answer: No. One\u00a0headline<\/span><\/a>\u00a0summed it up: \u201cFBI Director admits COVID-era persecution of parents wasn\u2019t evidence-based.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wray would not apologize, and he declined to say if Garland should. But two things are clear. First, this attempt to silence parents backfired, as our movement is stronger than ever. Second, with even the FBI Director wanting nothing to do with him, Garland\u2019s days as AG are numbered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
