In order for radical leftists to continue to advance their ideological attacks, they have to pretend not to know things. Barack Obama took that long-standing truism to new levels of exploitation during his administration, reference: ‘Fast ‘n Furious, IRS targeting, Obamacare, Benghazi etc. The list is long.
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum to the FBI instructing them to initiate investigations of any parent attending a local school board meeting who might be viewed as confrontational, intimidating or harassment. The intent of the targeting memo is clear, the political activists within the DOJ are telling the political activists within the FBI to target ordinary parents as ‘Domestic Terrorists‘ or ‘Extremists‘, and open the door for federal action against their local civic activity.
Lisa Monaco was Barack Obama’s former homeland security advisor and former legal counsel in the White House. Monaco was the tip of the spear in using political activism under the guise of ‘homeland security’ to target political opposition. That type of political targeting is her specialty. Lisa Monaco is now the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.
As a direct result of her skill-set in combination with her current position, it is almost a guarantee that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco authored the DOJ targeting memorandum that AG Merrick Garland signed and sent to the FBI. Again, weaponizing internal political targeting under the guise of homeland security concerns is what Monaco is specifically famous for doing. Today, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley confronted DAG Monaco about the targeting memo. WATCH her response:
This is how they operate. This is how the two tiers of justice are evidenced.
We just saw that chasing a Senator into a university bathroom with a camera while shouting and verbally assaulting the legislative member was called “just part of the process.” Previously, we saw screaming at Trump administration officials in restaurants was not considered inappropriate or worrisome; and that follows instructions from Maxine Waters for democrats to target anyone from the former administration in any venue. None of that was considered “harassment”.
However, now the DOJ specifically tells the FBI to target any parent that is engaged in “harassment” against a school board member.
[…] Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.
…
The Justice Department will also create specialized training and guidance for local school boards and school administrators. This training will help school board members and other potential victims understand the type of behavior that constitutes threats, how to report threatening conduct to the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and how to capture and preserve evidence of threatening conduct to aid in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes.

Why can’t even lawyer Congressers manage to ask decent questions.
The question is:
Please identify and describe with particularity three incidents of harassment, threats or violence that prompted the AG’s concern so that we know that this is not political propaganda and an attempt to chill and shut down parents’ speech. Describe three incidents and why they were significant enough to warrant intervention by the federal government.
Yep, I thought Hawley was going to get particular, but he lost the focus. He could have really drilled down on these terms and pinned her into a corner. Hopefully they will get the director in and relentlessly drill him.
Completely agree. Geez. This stuff isn’t rocket science. Why is it so hard for our guys to nail it?
Perhaps they don’t want to? Now why would that be?
Just a thought.
Picking the pockets of potential political donors takes time and the theft needs to carefully cultivated.
Pretty sure they’re not going to relentlessly drill anyone. Relentlessly drilling is not what Republican congresscritters do … except for Rand Paul.
IMO, all these folks are doing appearing before the committees is waiting them out, taking their verbal lumps, and moving on. Who can really stop them short of the mid term elections?
How did Elise Stefanik put it when her questions got too focused with James Comey?
“Stepping back . . .” I think she said.
Swamp survival requires this far and no further.
She would only answer that she can not comment on any active investigation.
Exactly. And interrupt her when she keeps repeating the talking about about the role of the DOJ being to investigate violence and say there has been no violence and if anything, it is parents who’ve been intimidated and should worry about violence being perpetrated against them, not the other way around.
yes, if they are to investigate violence, ask her to describe an incident that has occurred. Also as to harrassment. Ask her if following a school board member into a restroom and continue to harangue and record is harrassment.
as of the last few days we know now that that would be allowed.
Those are questions the AG needs to answer and Hawley asked for the AG to attend and answer them.
Exactly. This plebe is a chirping bird, a trained seal, nothing more. While I don’t expect much from the esteemed Garland, the glad fly yes man of the leftist cabal, he is the installed AG and should answer to this commie use of the storm troopers.
It’s a strange feeling: Waiting for the single most important question to be asked; and, knowing all along it will never BE asked…
In this instance, had that question been asked, and properly answered, there would have been no need for Hawley’s questions about the DOJ’s definition of harassment, threats and violence.
You are so right
These people (politicians) are all scum. Their agenda is to turn the United States into a third world nation.
Along these same lines, the BLM has been building shooting ranges here in Arizona for the last year. Opening in Nov., they are asking for volunteers help run the range. I’m willing to help. Today I get the application and T & C’s.
At the bottom there is a statement saying if you haven’t taken the kill shot, you need not apply. It gets worse….if you haven’t taken the shot you can’t even use this outdoor range.
This is right in line with the eco terrorist they just put through to run the BLM.
How much more of this deal do we have to put up with?
Just another step, all part of the plan. BLM is the extremist extension of the Obama army. They control it with money, paying leaders handsomely. Now they are building out their domestic training grounds for the serious assaults to come. Last year was the training ground. The next wave will be used to usher in the massive upheaval needed to break apart our society. If not in 2022, watch for it in 2024.
Are you saying the BLM gun ranges are going to be used to train Obama brown shirts? Bureau Of Land Management?
Why is it they always accuse us of doing exactly what they are. Harassment and intimidation. Thank God for Josh Harley. Monico has always been a lying snake back since her Enron trial days. The perfect recruit for the Demon-rats. .
Read “Rules of Radicals” and it will make sense why they accuse everyone else of doing exactly what they are doing. It is slight of hand magic, while you are looking in one direction they are destroying everything somewhere else. You had been distracted and never noticed. That simple, and it works hand in hand with MSM perfectly.
It’s worked for them forever, blame others always, lie if that doesn’t work, threaten when the lies stop working. Tell America the republicans did it or are doing it and they will kill the country…..exactly what they are doing. It has worked my whole life and republicans never seem to mind, they steal as much out of power and with less hassle that is why they don’t care to win. If they don’t get real, real soon there may not be a gov to steal from.
Monaco is a stupid female with a weak and pathetic presentation who can only utilize her vicious vocabulary under cover of anonymity. Back her in corner before she has a chance to run to obie….she won’t be able to take real pressure. She can dish it out but she can’t take it.
JMHO.
Which, of course, is the correct legal answer – state’s rights. Except so many states are whores for federal money they will sacrifice the law for it. The states can legally tell the Dept. of Injustice and FIB to KTA – and should.
And why would they be whores for the federal money when all they have to do is cut off remitting taxes from their states to the feds.
How do they do that? Not being contrary but you seem to misunderstand the mechanisms of tax collection. The payroll deduction scheme is intentionally designed to eliminate any state control over the rake-off being siphoned up by the feds.
i have wondered what the exact mechanism, process is. IF you know it, could you explain it. PLEASE. A value stream map would be great. I am serious.
America now has a communist government. It’s just that people don’t realize it yet. Wonder when they will figure it out.
People will start to realize it when they start feeling personal pain as a result of it.
And by then, it’s TOO LATE.
He won the Hobby Lobby case before the Supreme Court.
Wow, go Josh Hawley! He nailed it and I thought he was spectacular in this instance.
Hawley is putting on a dog and pony show because he voted to confirm Ms Monico, he knew exactly who she was…
She went to Harvard, he went to Harvard. Go figure. That’s one of our problems. We’ve allowed a small cadre of toxic “universities” dominate our intellectual life. For instance, our constitution means exactly what Laurence Tribe says it means, nothing more, nothing less.
And when they graduate, they clerk for the same law firms and judges. In many ways, the political class has been hanging out and going to the same parties since their mid 20’s.
Exactly! They let the fox into the henhouse and then get hot under the collar when the inevitable happens. What an utter waste of time and energy.
Could be but he appeared sincere and dogmatic and maybe he is surprised at the degree to which the Gov’t arms are now over reaching their boundaries. Most people just didn’t and still don’t believe what is actually happening before their very eyes.
Yes….it’s called normalcy bias. Big with Jews in Germany circa 1939.
As one of the only members of congress to even speak up about the Big Steal he has shown integrity where nearly nobody else would.
How sad is that?
DOJ and FBI will ignore these goons, tho.
is nt this harrassment and intimidation of public figure?
The MOMs are Pissed:

From the article:
How come every time a fascist woman testifies, they use a squeaky little girl voice? Do they think it will make their lies more palatable?
My thoughts also. Why does she sound like a child? (In both voice and her childish answers)
Feigned innocence, obviously.
‘Cause when your sphincter hole tightens up under pressure from being made to tell lies it impacts the vocal chords as well.
They are manipulators playing the victim card.
What is the FBI doing looking at local school board meetings? What is their jurisdiction? Are there not local and state law enforcement agencies more than capable of handling any needs that may arise?
these are questions better suited to a functioning republic.
There is no debate, just like in Climate Change or Covid Masks. From trust the Science, has morphed into Trust the Politics.
Lets not forget who this activist Lisa Monaco is. She was a behind the scenes player who helped frame Gen. Flynn, Trump and Trump associates. She was the Chief of Staff of Herr Mueller. The secret society was managed by her. The eGOP knew all this and yet they still confirmed her.
I wish Senator Hawley would have asked her how this went from being a local law enforcement issue to a Federal one. This is the natural progression of the hate crimes approach started many years ago. Local law enforcement can handle these situations just fine. This is a liberal justice system letting local law enforcement know we are watching you. You better prosecute anyone who is against our agenda and speaks out in a passionate way.
Like you, I have never bought into the “Hate Crime” sham. Crime is Crime.
If they prosecuted for Hate Thoughts, I would be executed. I struggle daily trying not to hate these Neo-Marxists. Takes prayer and Scripture, and I fear many days I fail.
I’ve watched dozens upon dozens of doctor videos.
This one by Dr. McCullough is by far the best in explaining why the jabs are bad and points out the world is on a run away freight train with no one minding the safety/stop switch.
It is long but I would recommend you forward this to everyone you can who has questions.
I also think PT should sit for an hour and view this presentation as it might enlighten and help change his position.

wrong thread, mate.
Who voted for these trash bags..? Stand up, be counted, show yourself, support the moron you voted for.. be proud of the trash bag you elected to put on the taxpayer teat.. the rest of us want to return the favor..
I can find any neighbor that voted for our socialist state rep.. they won’t show themselves
Notice how Monaco never makes direct eye contact. She hasn’t been coached well enough in the art of the lie.
What an absolutely brainwashed, talking-point fed, little commie.
PS I wish the likes of Hawley would stop acting surprised and saying things like “I can’t believe.” You better believe! Totalitarianism is here and any member of the GOP who might whisper a shred of truth better up their game. And fast.
I urge all Treepers who found Hawley’s questions wanting to contact his office and share your thoughts.
Every time I see a pic of Obama I remember, “It takes only 13 lbs of downward torque to tear off a human ear.” I’d love to hand both of’em to that freak.
Perfect opportunity for Hawley to call her out on the blatant double standard regarding the lack of any active DOJ/FBI effort where irrefutable evidence by the boatload exists for violence & domestic terrorism by Antifa/BLM. Get that answer on the damn record Josh.
The Administration is illegitimate and should be treated by all as the threat to our country that they are. Time for all law abiding patriotic citizens, whether in gov or not to stand up to the lawless tyrants and say NO!!!!
This woman is like a record that is stuck and keeps repeating what she is told to say but not addressing the question. Hawley is wrong in thinking that a hearing can achieve anything. What have hearings achieved over the past five years? Nothing. It is time for real action, for people to push their representatives to get off their backsides and choose leaders that will stop pussy footing around issues. Find someone with real backbone, firm principles and tenacity to replace McConnell and McCarthy.
B R A V O
Josh is way way too kind to these people imo.
Monaco makes my blood boil. She exemplifies the worst of weaponization of government in recent years and I hope one day the tables turn on her.
Duval County (NE Florida, Jacksonville, etc.) SB Meeting is live right now on PBS channel 212.
It’s pretty good! And it looks like they’ve scheduled 4 hrs TV time for it.
A Doctor just came up and spit facts.
Now someone talking about the DOJ and FBI developments.
This is so orderly and polite!
I suggest that you look for broadcasts of your local SB Meetings.
It’s a good guage of what’s going on in your area and how well-informed people are.
Glad I ran into this tonite.
Should have asked if it is the policy of this maladministration that the parents who pay all the bills have any rights in the education of their children. Exactly what are their parental rights in education?
She is a broken record.
Is that a dude or a chick? Some major jawbone on that one. Maybe a hint of Adam’s apple.
Thanks God for Hawley
Way back in the 1960s, the Fed. Gov’t mandated a “suitable education” for every child (including handicapped children)..Trouble was, it was an unfunded mandate.. local schools wanted NO part of it…lots of HOT school board meetings..happened again with overcrowding and schools brought in portable trailers and thought they would put the handicapped kids in them..these kids were mainstreamed part of the time, and went from trailer to classroom without coats. because they needed help. Bottom line, art classes and other silly stuff went out to the trailers. and handicapped kids got classrooms, and felt like they were part of the school scene.
Gosh Josh, you could have had panache, but instead you decided to slosh and be awash in hogwash. I guess you are just a squash.
One party state coming up.
What can we do?
It is imperative that we organize and follow Dan Schultz’ recommendations to become precinct committeemen. If we don’t legally and lawfully step up and cut this cancer out, then our patient (the American way of life including it’s freedoms and liberties) will die; and it will die on our watch!
https://precinctstrategy.com/
they intentionally scripted vague language….it’s obvious what the nature of this letter is all about.
it’s a dog whistle.
lets remember, school board members, members of state and local politics have a very long and durable professional, political and even personal relationship with local law enforcement.
in fact, obviously, local law enforcements is REGULATED AND PAID by local politicos.
DOJ is declaring this for the purposes of making additional resources (money and people) to local officials at the snap of a finger without a single case of violence to point at. This is being done to force the local law enforcement to CHOOSE SIDES.
it’s what we have witnessed in Australia. The brutality with zero accountability can only be explained one way: the local officials gave them direct permission and mandates to go GLOVES OFF AND TACTICAL SUITS ON.
The law enforcement in the most conservative communities will obviously not go this direction, as the local politicos are generally more aligned with standard practices when dealing with upset parents and peaceful protests and even strong language.
However, this will be used to marginalize citizens as Hawley correctly points out as a chilling effect. The first time someone if charged locally with a “Crime” and forced to either pay a big fine or spend some time in jail (or both), the word will get out. cool it. don’t make waves…it will divide community protestors.
And…it will most likely lead to new “rules” enforced by private security AND law enforcement that will place local attorney generals and DA’s in a political hot spot.
this dog whistle is actively engaging in the same kind of behavior by the DOJ with respect to antifa and blm. They will not go after real criminals…but they will bend over backwards to pervert local enforcement. the power of suggestion COUPLED with big time MONEY AND RESOURCES from the big government..courtesy of the diseased department of just us.
It’s clear, this is war. Make no mistake about it.
stage 3 advance…the gap narrow. people are noticing…they are acting out, and they should continue…jail, fines be damned.
this is our reality…this is OUR TIME.
become the white horse that saves you.
God Bless America
So, any one in the country have a workable idea about how to rid the nation of Obama’s hold?
Doesn’t his very reputation have to be destroyed, until it’s embarrassing even for black to claim him as one of them?
We think small.
Identify one local enforcer of the fascist state. Put that person under a microscope then expose everything. Expose it anonymously, research it privately, do it so that not only do you not put yourself in the crosshairs but so that the local enforcers do not know who is doing it or who will be next.
trouble is he could get smashed by a truck and this runaway train would keep moving. it is not just one person. but the well timed truck smashing would be helpful
Let’s face it we are all domestic terrorists in one way or another in the eyes of these evil people. RESIST! Unless of course it is against them. Has the FBI interviewed the illegal immigrants who followed Sen Sinema into the ladies room yet? After they gained illegal entry into a locked building at ASU?

After the National School Board Association called on the Biden administration to punish unruly parents who keep showing up at school board meetings to protest CRT, the DOJ under Attorney General Merrick Garland has instructed the FBI to mobilize.

BREAKING: Biden admin mobilizes FBI against parents opposing CRT and COVID restrictions
The NSBA encouraged the Biden administration to classify the actions of concerned parents as “the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”

These vermin trying to ruin our country are like a fungal infestation–they never go away, just keep coming back over and over and over again.
The absolute best thing is take your kids out of public school entirely. The next best thing is to keep them out during FTE count (which is about now). This is the official student count for the state level and is what determines the funds a school district gets. 25% of kids out on FTE days will wake the district up when their funds get depleted by that amount.
I’m wondering if the parents will be apprised ahead of time just what the DOJ definitions of those actions are and will parents be afforded information about the training the school board receives so parents don’t cross the proverbial line and become labeled as Domestic terrorists.
Encinitas Ca is a commie stronghold. My kids graduated from HS in 2006 and 2009. Time to attend a school board meeting for the first time.
This is not political targeting. This is an attempt to keep human beings in line using threats. It is the deep state protecting its COVID19 HOAX.
They are killing us with these jabs, and with all of their lockdown measures. We will fight back at some point. There is nothing they can do about it.
The DOJ is out of control in every way possible. FBI has just raided the police union headquarters and the home of the head of the police union in NYC. The NY police department back Trump in 2020. So, now are they hassling the union for their support? Trying to find something to charge the head with and get someone who is installed by Soros? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/fbi-raids-ny-city-police-union-headquarters-union-openly-backed-president-trump-first-endorsement-history/
There’s nothing more dangerous than a bunch of dirty cops with too much money and not enough crime on their hands.
It means they’ll simply make it up.
The incest between the 4th and 5th estates is unholy and vile.
And exactly what authority do the feds have over STATE AND LOCAL schools?? Like NONE.
Like…Tell them to just phuck off. It’s none of his GD business. These SB members are LOCALLY financed, LOCALLY elected, and are therefore LOCALLY accountable.
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandumto the FBI instructing them to initiate investigations of any parent attending a local school board meeting who might be viewed as confrontational, intimidating or harassment.
Too bad the Department of Justice and the FBI haven’t felt the same way about the folks attacking and attempting to intimidate Conservatives and others, or the folks assaulting citizens on the street, or the those attempting to burn down federal courthouses, or attack police officers. Seems we’ve got problems where thee two agencies are concerned.
I thought the FBI and DOJ only had jurisdiction for FEDERAL crimes?
This is even more outrageous than intimidating the AZ Senate from doing the canvass
Where do they find these abject morons and losers?
Ooooo the FBLy, so scarey, we will kneel before Zod. And FJB and all his spawn, add F B O the most!
