Whistleblower: The DOJ Has Begun Using Counterterrorism Tools To Track "Threats" By Parents Complaining About Schoolboards

Screenshot (804).png


Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo

It's time to clean house in America: remove the attorney general, lay siege to the universities, abolish the teachers unions, and overturn the school boards.

I call that "a good start."

Mitch McConnell will call it "unconscionable sedition which has no place in the Republican Party."


Here's the memo directing the Counterterrorism unit to create a "threat tag" for purposes of tracking the terrorist threat of parents:


counterterrorismmemothreattag.jfif


Jim Jordan wrote a letter to Merrick Garland on behalf of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, noting that Merrick Garland's previous sworn testimony now seems, erm, "incomplete," given that he said that there was no thought whatsoever that this could ever happen.


notevenaclosequestion.jfif

incompletecounterterorsquad.jfif

So, Merrick Garland testified, under oath, that there was no intention to use any counterterrorism resources against parents.

They're doing just that.

He also claimed that there was no chance whatsoever they would use FBI resources to target speech.

Now, Garland would claim "We're not targeting speech, we're targeting threats.." The trouble with that claim is that all of the complaints forwarded by the National School Board Association were in fact just speech. The father who got dragged out of the school board made no threats; he was just complaining angrily, and the school board ordered him to leave, and sicced the cops on him when he did not respect their Authoritah.

So the whole genesis of this is school boards objecting to parents' speech, and being angry that parents are objecting to their political agendas, and recasting this as "threats." Which is now the default tactic of the left.

A US Attorney working for Garland prepared a memo instructing his staff that that repeated complaints delivered via phone to school board members could constitute "threats" and be prosecuted as terroristic crimes.

1, repeated annoying phone calls would not be threats, they would be, at most, "harassment," not threats, and 2, that is a state concern, not a federal concern, and 3, I'm pretty sure that government officials cannot shield themselves from the complaints of the people they allegedly serve by the harassment laws. You can't both "serve the public" and also say "the public which objects to my performance has no right to contact me to complain."

But Merrick Garland says, "We're not targeting speech, we're targeting threats."

Sure.

Do you even know the difference anymore?

Oh I know: Speech is what the left does when it burns down a shopping mall, threats are what the right makes when they use an fire extinguisher to put the fires out.

And what about that part about not deploying counterterrorism resources against parents?

Consider them deployed!

How long before Chief Ball-Fondler of the Deep State Andy McCarthy counsels us that this is all perfectly normal and that his Very Good Friend Merrick Garland has only the most pure of intentions?

If two jurors are holding up a decision based on the backlash of their decision they need to be removed and replaced by any of the 6 alternates.

No, quite frankly, you do not. You might feel a moral duty to oppose this but your position as a federal entity do not empower you to do this under the US constitution. And that's putting aside the ludicrous nonsense that teachers and boards are under any such threat or justifiable fear.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 16, 2021 05:40 PM (KZzsI)

152 Garland's own memo mentions not just "threats of violence" but also harassment and intimidation. His testimony repeatedly elided over those additional terms in his memo, which are much more open ended and subjective than "threats of violence."

It's sort of harassing to be asked repeatedly why you're stocking your libraries with gay porn and transgender grooming propaganda. And when people protest your doing or send you letters (in the US Mail!) asking you not to do so, you might feel somewhat intimidated from continuing to do so.

Posted by: Coquettish Haberdasher at November 16, 2021 05:40 PM (buTO7)

154 Jack Posobiec claims that, per a marshal in Kenosha, two jurors are holding out for guilty, explicitly citing their fear of "backlash" as the reason. If this is true -- a big if, because this sounds shaky to me, as far as citation (how would a marshal know this?) -- the other jurors can present this information to the judge. As these jurors would be basing their decision-making on factors apart from the evidence and the law, the judge would excuse them from the jury pool and replace them with alternates.
One problem with that scenario is that when the judge quizzes them, they would surely not clearly state that their main reason for holding out was fear. They would hem and haw and cite "all sorts of reasons" as their reasons. The judge would accept that, and tell them to continue deliberating. Only if they admit they're motivated by eternal threat would he excuse them. Particularly this judge who, despite being sold as #Based, has been deferential to Littlefinger.

I think they are really using "or" here, rather than "and." An old activist trick. Harassment = I don't like what you're doing. And "reports," well let's see, who are the unspecified people reporting, and what cost is there to them to exaggerate and lie.

197 Right now, as far as the jury is concerned, if the judge has them come back and issue an 'Allen' charge to continue deliberations, then Jack P. would have some bricks for his speculative straw.

Anything else is spitballing. This is a complicated case (made simpler without the gun charge) with both self defense (perfect and imperfect) coupled with the two different types of provocation under WI law which can negate self defense in WI.

Also the charges are very serious so most juries would take their time on the issue.

Deliberations though begin from zero all over again. They do this in high stakes trials to prevent jury intimidation, one juror to hold the rest hostage through bad behavior, and so on. In some jurisdictions with no alternate, they will go with the remaining jurors to decide the case minus the one juror or so kicked off.

Go fetch it, like it was his daughter's diary or his son's laptop. We can't leave evidence out there where it could be examined by a Non-Democrat.

The city descends into chaos again, and the cops are powerless to stop it. They release the man from prison to stop the new riots, after which they charge him with murder again and send him back to jail.

Posted by: Soothsayer -- at November 16, 2021 05:49 PM

Why is *any* trial televised? Serious question.

On an unserious, but somewhat related, note, this reminds me of the Frasier episode where Frasier and Niles were both to testify for the defense and prosecution, respectively. And knowing that it was a high profile case and to be televised, Niles had prepared his testimony in order to impress those watching on TV.

So, back to serious, why televise any trial at all? Seems like all it does is turn things into a circus and have the focus all about playing to the cameras instead of actually being about facts and justice.

269 238 I was on a jury once with a couple of hold outs who didn't want to vote guilty. Two middle-aged women. One of them lived in Santa Monica, worked in the entertainment industry, and drove a Prius. It was actually two younger millennial women who worked them over and flipped them. I was impressed.

Posted by: Mark1971 at November 16, 2021 05:50 PM (xPl2J)


If women are the hold-outs, in my jury experience you must get at least two women in the majority to work on them. Men trying logic and evidence on them won't work.

274 >>I thought I read they left because my initial reaction was "wait...what if a juror drops dead?"

They are considered alternate jurors in case one or more the jurors leaves the trial. They usually keep them there so they can at least pretend to limit their access to outside influences.

Kind of silly. I doubt there is a single person on that jury who doesn't know exactly what's going on outside that building but norms and all that.

Chrissie actually has made sensical comments for a celebrity. She left home in OH to go to the UK as a reporter on rock on maybe their New Music Express or some such. She went from that to forming a band and became famous. You can find some videos and recordings of her playing acoustic and her voice is amazing.

One such video was recorded at a radio station among other places.

Posted by: Dworkin Barimen - anarcho-tyranny?


The United States marshal as a source sounds rather unlikely. But based on the request for the self defense instructions shortly after deliberations began, it is a good bet one or two Karens are holding out after the rest of the jury rapidly decided to acquit. I can buy that part. The other jurors just need to keep screaming at the Karens and shaming them.

432 I am amazed by Ohikhobo's remedy. I Have had herpes for over 6 years with frequent outbreaks. Sometimes I average 2-3 times per month. Before one breakout could end, the next would begin. Nothing has helped me. I came online in search for a possible way to see how I can fight this virus so I found Ohikhobo here online after seeing a lot of testimonies of how he cured herpes and other diseases with natural herbs so I decided to give it a try I only took his remedy for two weeks and I was completely cured. I recommend Ohikhobo's remedy to anyone suffering from herpes that wants to be completely cured too.
