Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) questioned U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland about his clear conflict of interest today surrounding the Attorney General’s instructions for FBI agents to investigate parents who question school board curriculum. Merrick Garland’s daughter is married to the co-founder of the Critical Race Theory educational material being purchased by the school boards. The exact CRT material being directly challenged by the parents Garland has instructed the FBI to investigate.
In a clear conflict of interest, Merrick Garland is using his office to protect the income and investments of his son-in-law’s business. However, when questioned about this conflict today, Merrick Garland says he will refuse to accept any ethical review of his conduct. WATCH:
BACKGROUND – U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently instructed the FBI to begin investigating parents who confront school board administrators over Critical Race Theory indoctrination material. 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 harassing.
Attorney General Merrick Garland’s daughter is Rebecca Garland. In 2018 Rebecca Garland married Xan Tanner [LINK]. Mr. Xan Tanner is the current co-founder of a controversial education service company called Panorama Education. [LINK and LINK] Panorama Education is the “social learning” resource material provider to school districts and teachers that teach Critical Race Theory.
“By asking students to reflect on their experiences of equity and inclusion in school, education leaders can gather actionable data to understand and improve the racial and cultural climate on campus.” ~ Panorama Education, Xan Tanner Co-founder
Conflict of interest much?
Yes, the Attorney General is instructing the FBI to investigate parents who might pose a financial threat to the business of his daughter’s husband.

Yes, Merrick Garland’s daughter is married to the founder of the company who helps schools, teachers and staff deal with the modern challenges of “systemic racism” by “reimagining” the way to social learning “through an equity lens”. As you have seen in the linguistic judo presented by the education material providers in the past, that’s exactly what CRT education materials are about.
Last month Garland’s son-in-law raised money, at least $60 million, to expand their business operation.
September 2021 – Panorama Education, which has built out a K-12 education software platform, has raised $60 million in a Series C round of funding led by General Atlantic.
Existing backers Owl Ventures, Emerson Collective, Uncork Capital, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Tao Capital Partners also participated in the financing, which brings the Boston-based company’s total raised since its 2012 inception to $105 million.
Panorama declined to reveal at what valuation the Series C was raised, nor did it provide any specific financial growth metrics. CEO and co-founder Aaron Feuer did say the company now serves 13 million students in 23,000 schools across the United States, which means that 25% of American students are enrolled in a district served by Panorama today.
Over 50 of the largest 100 school districts and state agencies in the country use its platform. In total, more than 1,500 school districts are among its customers. Clients include the New York City Department of Education, Clark County School District in Nevada, Dallas ISD in Texas and the Hawaii Department of Education, among others.
Since March 2020, Panorama has added 700 school districts to its customer base, nearly doubling the 800 it served just 18 months prior, according to Feuer. […] Former Yale graduate students Feuer and Xan Tanner started the company in an effort to figure out the best way for schools to collect and understand feedback from their students (read more)
September 2021, Panorama Education, Xan Tanner, raised $60,000,000 to expand operations. October 4, 2021, Xan Tanner’s father-in-law, U.S. AG Merrick Garland, tells the FBI to investigate any potential parental interference/disruption that might impede his son-in-law’s business interests….
Any questions?
Merrick Garland Refuses Claims Conflict of Interest Ethics Rules Do Not Apply to Biden Administration?
Wait ’til Trump is back in office and see how quickly he changes his mind.
I would hope that President Trump’s first day back Garland, Wray, and most of the SES will be fired.
Waterboarded and Gitmo’s to face a long list of crimes
Would that this fantasy come true! New Holiday to Celebrate.
DITTOS!
Based on his first term, don’t hold your breath. Trump hired and trusted the wrong people. It was his superpower.
Yeah, right back at you! President Trump took the advice of republicans, those who are
now outed and are republicans “in name only” and are part of the cabal intent on installing Marxist policies to destroy the country. President Trump is one of those rare individuals who tends to not only correct his mistakes if other obstacles don’t prohibit it, along with
not making the same mistake twice. Get it?
“I didn’t know the RINOs when I went to Washington, but I know them all now.”
Hopefully Trump will not be as cautious as he was in his first term.
I suspect that his campaign is called “The Revenge Tour” for a reason.
If he doesn’t (and include all ambassadors) then he hasn’t learned a damn thing.
If only.
administration appointments are at the favor of POTUS…I seriously doubt PDJT will keep any of the fraud’s in their jobs
Why must it be “wait ’til Trump is back in office” – Republicans in Congress should step up now to challenge this!
Time is of the essence!
Just how would Republicans (one’s with a backbone) challenge this mess? They can protest, wring their hands, clutch their pearls but without a majority they have nothing.
Eric Holder was found in contempt, what happened to him?? NOTHING!!!
He resigned.
Lindsey Graham and ALL the UNI-PARTY Republican party members are on there way to write a letter now then ask for donations to “fight the system”.
Oh yeah. They are fighting tooth and nails for me, for us. They are all bloodied and angry…I just need o send $75 so they can keep getting bloodied… for me, for us… Just like they did on January 6th.
and just like they did 2017-2019…when they owned whole CONgress- uniparty who*es…..
He still has to deal with the uniparty that would prefer not to have their gravy train derailed.
That’s what Dinesh D’Souza points out in his documentary Hillary’s America :The Secret History of the Democrat Party. The Democrats were the Confederates, KKK,Jim Crow etc All the things they project onto America and Republicans/Conservatives/Christians. Also that their operation is a full on fleecing of the US taxpayers, like for example Biden/democrats theft of foreign aid in Ukraine. Clintons & Uranium One etc

Sally Yates can write him a 58 page response as to why Garland is not subject to ethics inquiry just like the NSD cannot have any IG oversight.
If/when President Trump is back in office, Garland will be fired.
Everyone in DC would have to be fired, of course. Impossible even to get rid of a few of them. Even the lowest employee knows of the symbiotic relationship between them and the Democommunist Party. Lifetime job security, pay, benefits and pension.
Most of these bureaucrats are lifers and are protected. The only way to get around this is to move the agencies out of DC and cut their budgets.
Sure thing!…Hindsight is 20/20 . Trump had his chance , and he walked away after claiming he would fight to the bitter end. Why didnt Trump being the most powerful person in the world at the time…surround the WH with the National guard just like Pelosi did and demand a complete and thorough audit instead of retreating like a coward.
All this Covid Lockdown ,Quarantine the healthy, Business,s destroyed, Schools closed, churches closed…started in 1/2020 while Trump was still president for a year. He allowed Fauci and The Former president of Eli Lilly ,Alex Azar to destroy peoples lives with a China Bioweapon. Donald Trump “If it werent for me you wouldn’t have these warp speed Vaccines”. Face it , the truth hurts , But Trump does not belong back in the oval office. Once is more than enough.

Uh huh.
There’s a reason they’re unconcerned.
Garland’s daughter is above reproach.
His ancestors are from the Soviet Union and from Chicago aka the Chicago Democrat Crime Syndicate aka Alinsky’s Cultural Marxist satanists
man we dodged a bullet with his SCOTUS nomination.
we dodged THAT bullet but not THIS bullet – Merrick Garland as Attorney General!
Yeah we dodged one barrel of the scattergun!
I am a little surprised how brazenly corrupt this “above reproach” guy has turned out to be. This can’t be brand new behavior, so where were the red flags during his nomination?
He almost makes Eric “The Red/Wingman” Holder look sane.
He actually has more real power as Attorney General, power that can be and is easily manipulated to facilitate whatever agenda his handlers point to……
and we did not get 3-pro lifers,pro americans,pro constitution judges…hmmm
It’s kind of like asking Lavrentiy Beria if he is willing to investigate himself. Stalin wouldn’t let it happen either.
“Of all the brutal killers to emerge from the 20th century, Beria, a Georgian like his master, was one of the most malign. Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko, a historian, who spent 13 years in the camps and later wrote a book about Beria, said: “The gulags existed before Beria, but he was the one who built them on a mass scale. He industrialised the gulag system. Human life had no value for him.”
glad everyone see ..who really is…
Lots of blinking by the AG when the original question was posed.
I noticed the same and came here to post this. Very unusual.
I thought his brain was blue-screening… his eyelids were flapping like crazy.
Blinking is one of the many classic body language signs of a liar. Also, the classic stalling tactics like “let me be clear, make no mistake, I don’t understand the question, can you repeat that, uh, uh, er, uh, er, uh uh.”
Build Liars Better.
What a sleaze. Thank you to the citizens of Louisiana for haranguing your Rep into speaking out…so now what is my question. Is he allowed to decide if he can be investigated?
exactly!
This admin does not follow any rules…
An enterprising state AG, or a bunch, will likely have to file suit against this evil thug to expose it and shut it down. And run DOJ out of school board meetings.
What a simpering, feckless weasel Garland is. There’s no other description. This has to be the most corrupt, conflicted, and destructive administration this country has had to endure. And the destruction of our norms, rules, and laws have been wreaked at such scale and pace that I’m not sure what’s closer – being able to repair and recover or the ultimate end of the Republic. God help us all.
I don’t know either. I feel it might be too late; people are too compliant. They are all running out to get a shot that does nothing for them. They are still wearing masks here; it is really creepy. I just don’t know….so sleazy and so corrupt…our country is being destroyed right before my eyes.
Yes, the sheep, unknowingly, are most definitely being led to the slaughter. Sometimes I just feel too exhausted (and angry) to continue to try and wake them up. But at the same time, I feel like that is my best way to fight for our freedom.
Barnesto: I wasn’t sure how to put into words how pathetic this man is–thank you for doing so. It is unbelievable that this monster has any professional standing at all, let alone that he is AG.
That is the face of someone who believes he is above the law.
Too bad the SOB cannot be impeached.
I don’t believe that’s true…
Though the Constitution does not define who constitutes a civil officer, Congress has exercised its power to impeach three presidents, one senator, one cabinet official, and 15 federal judges.
Thank you.
He is the law. This is where we are.
Our taxes pay for the tyranny.
Let me know when enough is enough.
When the tree of Liberty is watered.
wow, Garland is a real piece of shit.
Look what he is doing to Rep Matt Gaetz one of the few real MAGA reps in Congress. Fox “news” no longer has him on anymore.
“Florida Rep Matt Gaetz (R) revealed on the floor of the House that an alleged hitman drove to DC to kill him and was stopped by Capitol Police and referred to the DOJ for arrest but Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to prosecute him. ”
https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62622
Merrick probably stiffed the hitman too.
WTAF?!
Clearly, it is good to be Reich Marshall in the Zombie Biden Reich.
Oh shucks, we tried!
~ worthless POS repubs.
Better luck next time.
We’ll duh!! Don’t you know he was a Federal Appeals Court judge?
You don’t get that high up in the judiciary without having a high moral compass and being infallible……….oh wait, never mind.
What should bother everyone looking in is not just the questions asked by the evasive replies coming from such a high ranking official who ……
If you give him such replies in court would put you in contempt and has the power to lock you up for as long as he deems necessary!
Rule of law. Ethics. Dead. All Dead.
Just imagine if PDJT’s AG said this in a hearing. Or any republican/conservative president. The media would be screaming TYRANT!!! on every news medium available. But with Xiden it’s not even mentioned again after the words are spoken.
Amoral. No sense of decency. Exercising brute power. Now you know why Garland is a top deputy in the unDemocratic Party.
Seems these people have a certainty that there will be no backlash for this Jackboot state they have created. Good luck with that.
They stole an election and have gotten away with it so far. Why would they ever fear reprocussions from lesser offenses?
No kidding.
quisling weasel!
To be blunt, we are in a world of hurt on all of these situations. There is clear conflict of interest. AG refuses to acknowledge the conflict.
Even if an IG gets involved, have we seen ANY actions to remediate the findings of the IG’s and the abuses uncovered?
It doesn’t get more “two tiered justice system” than we currently have.
Remember when even the APPEARANCE of a “conflict of interest” was enough to have honorable people recuse themselves?
Even the appearance would cause a shItstorm of media coverage resulting in the Administration’s shame and the person stepping down or at least recusing.
Those were the days.
Praise God the rinos didn’t let this guy get into the supreme court.
Are we better off with the three we have now? To me, they’ve been absolutely worthless, when it really counts.
that is quite true…THEIR definition of “originalist” is certainly far different than mine….I think a part is that they have the stalwart conservative Roberts to lead them /s
I thought that’s why all these people went into government…
To increase their business interests in their liberal-democracy?
Would be really surprised if any of them did the right thing ever…In this case stepping down would be appropriate.
But two legs are better than four…
“He was shaking like a shitting dog.” M. Gustave
Ask that gestapo chief straight to his face: “Do you consider parents who have concerns about school board policies to be domestic terrorists?” “Do you have any evidence of violent behavior at these school board meetings, and what do you consider to be violence?”
Its now easy to see why the moor hussein nominated this nazi.
I agree.
Why would Garland think any law would apply to him after watching virtually everyone involved in the Coup Cabal, 2020 Election steal, etc walk away scot-free? Not a single one of them thrown in jail despite obvious crimes. The rule of law is dead in this country.
Meh not surprised and nothing will change. The laws and Cinstitution as we knew them are gone. The law and its enforcement is what those in the Uniparty say it is. What of it?
‘I Think Someone May Be Trying To Kill Me’: Matt Gaetz Reveals Threat He Received
20 Oct 2021
And the DOJ refused to have the person arrested even after the Capital police force recommended that person be arrested.
The coup has obviously already occurred where the DOJ can openly go after anyone not following their democrat party line. Don’t see how this genie gets put back in the bottle.
He’s a lying POS and his constant blinking underscores that.

It just doesn’t make any sense to expect any of these people to behave like they should follow any of our laws, or the Constitution. Most of the people in Congress, the President and Vice President simply were not elected. Why would we expect them to “represent” the voters? They will only ‘represent’ their partners in crime. There really is only one way to fix this problem, well two, but only one non-violent way, and that is for Federal Marshalls, or the Military, or someone else with legitimate authority to begin making arrests, and that includes arresting the media co-conspirators. Until that starts happening, the charade will continue and we will continue to see our entire system destroyed.
Kissinger made a statement, several years ago, while addressing the Davos crowd, that there cannot be a global governance as long as the US is as wealthy and powerful as it is, today. Without coming right out and saying the unthinkable, he implied that we have to be reduced to a 3rd world nation, or the plan won’t work. And that plan is accelerating. Look around, there are no laws for them, only for us. That’s what a 3rd world country looks like.
There was a post in comments yesterday… Basically, it was discussing how if every event “surprises” you, your perspective is wrong. We should be to the point of forecasting these events by now.
Expect the continuous blatant ignoring of law as it should apply to them and the in your face lying by this administration and all media.
This man has no intention of going anywhere but where he wants to go. And, it has nothing to do with being honorable, Constitutional, respectful, legal or anything else for that matter.
I would say an appeal to his daughter might be a better effort in time. Hahahaha, who am I kidding.
Better start (if you have not already) building a network of people you know that you know you can trust with your life, and the lives of your loved ones because it isn’t people like this person, Garland.
Merrick Garland appears Not only to be corrupt but also to be shameless .
It’s shocking to see behavior that they always allege Republicans engage in as if it’s a scandal engaged in routinely and accepted uncritically by the media when Democrats do it. There was always a double standard, but it’s morphed into something much more insidious. There is now no pretense of equal application of the law.
Losing faith in our system of justice? That faith was lost, totally and completely, quite a while back. There exists in America today NO justice, unless it fits the perverted political interests of the party in power. It is not necessarily limited to the Democratic Socialist’s currently at the helm, witness a Republican dominated Congress that allowed Hillary to skate, with no accountability, on crimes that many are serving time for….remember “LOCK HER UP”?? The only people that need fear the Federal Justice system are American Patriots.
Garland: “I have determined that these petty, bourgeois, plebeian ‘guidelines’ don’t apply to me. Even if they did apply to me, I haven’t violated them. Even if I did violate them…I’m allowed.”
No member of the Communist Democrat Cult (CDC) cares a whit about the law. We’ve seen this now with every administration or congress led by them. Until they go to jail they will break the law with impunity because they know Republicans will always roll over at the mere whiff of intimidation
FJB’s son can do it, so can my family call blackmail in any other language.
Even though this is being televised, no MSM media outlets will report on this. This is how you get away with lying and criminal acts when you are protected by the media.
Yawn.. Garland is the spawn of Satan… Of course he can do whatever he wants. He is the top Lawyer in the country. We don’t need no stinkin’ checks and balances. I’m certain SCOTUS will agree.
… Stop the Suck 2024
My only fear is that RINO GOP will threaten impeachment if he does clean house.
Sure hope nothing bad happens to Rebecca and Xan…. I wonder if they have SS protecting them like Hunter has SS protection when he does his crack buys…
I know staff of those posturing shitheads that call themselves “Republicans” read this site. Understand this: IM NOT VOTING FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IN 22′. Got that? You held the Senate, House, and Whitehouse for two years and did nothing but fight President Trump. Now you want to do something? F you.
Like Sundance has pointed out before… they LOVE the cover of minority status. A convenient excuse for their lack of productivity… a lack of productivity that doesn’t change, even when they’re in the majority.
Everything our President accomplished in four years was IN SPITE of the GOP. They offered no support.
I will always remember that President Trump became the first President – since Harrison, who died of pneumonia one month into his term – to have ZERO recess appointments. Every Senator from 2016-2020 worked together to make sure it didn’t happen. They did everything they could to inhibit his administration and the America First agenda.

Ok, God. We need these evil people removed from their areas of responsibilities. We are desperate for Your intervention.????????
“I have a dream that my children will not be judged by the color of their skin …”
… no matter WHAT color it is!!
Why is that hard to understand?
Don’t tell anyone that their skin makes them “supreme,” nor “a victim for 400 years.” Just tell them that everybody’s epidermis has melanin in it … some more, some less.
He’s not an American in any sense of the word.
He’s a Bolshevik and his loyalties go back to the communist revolution in Russia.
He was raised that way and he’s raising his children that way.
Our society has gotten to the point that shape shifters like him feel comfortable expressing who they really are now, which means he thinks he has the power to initiate the gulags.
Although communist at heart he is beginning to perform as the Einsatzgruppen did in Eastern Europe during WWII.
The contemporary version of a Bolshevik has become an amalgamated monster of both a Stalin & Hitler.
Waiting for the outrage from the GOPe.
Garland has achieved his dream. Being part of a totalitarian government he imagined in high school.
Our lying AG needs to be slapped silly.
I have never seen such low-quality people in these positions in our Govt.
It’s hard to find words to express my disgust with this lying cretin.
Gee, what a SHOCK that this creepy vermin would blink like a pinball machine, then pour forth his practiced canned response.
I’ve never seen more robots outside of a sci-fi movie in my life. Actually that is an insult to robots. More precisely, never seen more puppets and muppets outside a kid’s day care center. than I have in this installed administration.
yeah it’s great to see. That oily creep made no new friends with that performance!
That is the very best word to describe Garland, “oily.”
A lot of these so-called elitists are oily. Grifters hiding behind a facade of meritocracy.
He REALLY doesn’t know what is going on!!!
His main and only purpose at DOJ is to do the bidding of the Chicago mafia.
And we know their average IQ!!!
So, he is simply a “placeholder” and instructed to do as much damage and mayhem until Obammy and Company return as conquering Kings and tribal elders.
He definitely is a tool.
Naw, I’m thinking this was all set up and he has to play along and perform as instructed to keep clear of something dropping to indict him on corruption, or it was an open secret that he’s been a slimy shit weasel all along. But he knows what’s going on, that’s clear.
I thought he looked like an MK-Ultra type way back! Just my humble opinion.
The Federal Code of Ethics states that any conflict of interest, or even the appearance 0f a conflict, must be avoided. IMHO, the conflict appears to be so blatant that he should resign immediately. Was that guy seriously considered at one time for the SCOTUS?
As a member of the muppet community I take offense to you grouping us with them…
They have appointed nothing but incompetent moronic buffoons. Definitely Obama’s doing as he loves to taunt the American people.
