Following a whistleblower’s revelation that the FBI is utilizing counterterrorism tactics to investigate parents considered to be potential “domestic terrorists” for voicing concerns about education in their local school districts, Republicans blasted the “disgrace[ful]” move as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland, with many calling for his immediate resignation.
The alarming allegations, which state the FBI is adding “threat tags” to parents, appear to contradict Garland’s testimony on October 21 during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in which he claimed the Department of Justice and the FBI were not using counterterrorism tools to investigate parents at school board meetings.
“The FBI spied on President Trump’s campaign. They abused the FISA process. And now they’re targeting parents,” wrote Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a ranking member of the House Judiciary, who publicized a letter addressed to Garland detailing the whistleblower’s claims.

“As we speak, Joe Biden’s FBI is spying on parents,” tweeted out the Republican House Judiciary Committee. “All because of a letter sent from the National School Boards Association that was withdrawn.”
“Terrifying,” the committee added.

“CONFIRMED BY WHISTLEBLOWER: The FBI used the counterterrorism division to investigate parents,” wrote House Republican Whip Steve Scalise. “These documents contradict what AG Garland told Congress under oath.”
“The Biden Administration treats parents who disagree with them like terrorists,” he added. “We can’t tolerate this.”

“I’m running to fight for the People!” he added.

“The FBI is targeting parents who speak out against critical race theory,” wrote Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). “AG Garland should testify under oath about this immediately.”

“Attorney General Merrick Garland has some explaining to do,” wrote Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) “New @JudiciaryGOP‘s whistleblower documents show that the FBI’s counterterrorism unit is adding a ‘THREAT TAG’ to parents who protest at local school boards.”
“How’s this not an attempt to target parents who disagree?” he added.

“Biden’s DOJ is weaponizing the FBI against parents & lying to Congress about doing it,” wrote Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK).
“Despite AG Garland denying this UNDER OATH, we now know the FBI’s counterterrorism division is adding a ‘threat tag’ to parents who protest at local school boards,” he added. “Every part of this wrong.”

“The FBI is using its counterterrorism division to investigate and add ‘threat tags’ to parents speaking out at school board meetings,” wrote Jane Timken, former chair of the Ohio Republican Party.
“This is deeply disturbing and proves that Merrick Garland LIED under oath,” she added. “Garland needs to answer for this immediately.”
In response to the revelations, Rep. Jordan wrote to Garland
At best, if we assume that you were ignorant of the FBI’s actions in response to your October 4 memorandum at the time of your testimony, this new evidence suggests that your testimony to the Committee was incomplete and requires additional explanation.
If, however, you were aware of the FBI’s actions at the time of your testimony, this evidence shows that you willfully misled the Committee about the nature and extent of the Department’s use of federal counterterrorism tools to target concerned parents at school board meetings.
Jordan noted the Judiciary Committee would like to further “assess the accuracy and completeness” of his “sworn testimony.”
