“The WH has been in touch.”
Those are the words that America First Legal, the conservative nonprofit organization co-founded by Trump White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, says prove that former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s investigations into parents and school boards were politically motivated.
They write on their website that there was no legal authority to engage in the harassment of parents that became symbolic of former President Biden and Garland’s Department of Justice:
Today [Friday], America First Legal (AFL) released explosive new documents conclusively proving what AFL has known since day one: the infamous October 4 memo from Attorney General Garland labeling concerned parents as “domestic terrorists” was a political operation of weaponized government, not the normal, lawful execution of federal laws by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
These never-before-seen documents—uncovered only because of AFL’s relentless efforts over the past three and a half years—expose not only the Biden White House’s involvement in pushing a weaponized DOJ, but also strong dissent from careers within the Department’s Civil Rights Division, who warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
They called it a “smoking gun” on social media:
AFL went on to discuss the memo that they say proves the DOJ was acting in bad faith:
Now, for the first time since the memo was made public, AFL can complete the timeline of events that occurred between the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo to DOJ and the October 4 memo being published. As AFL predicted on October 7, 2021, the normal process was not followed, with political leadership circumventing and disregarding the advice of DOJ lawyers.
Even though officials knew their proposed investigation was problematic, they searched fervently for the “federal hook.”
Friday, October 1: White House Already Pressuring DOJ for Action
Tamarra Matthews-Johnson, a Counsel in the Office of the Attorney General, working directly for Attorney General Garland, forwarded the press clips of the day to Kevin Chambers of the Deputy Attorney General’s Office, saying, “Just checking that you were aware,” referencing the NSBA letter.
Just over half an hour later, Chambers replied, “We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But WH has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion.”
The story goes on to describe how numerous career officials sounded the alarm over what was going on, but leadership ignored them. “White House Says ‘Jump,’ and DOJ Replies ‘How high?'” AFL wrote.
They conclude: “AG Garland’s memo mobilized the full force of the federal government’s firepower against concerned parents—not to protect schools, but to silence dissent.”
We’ve always known that Biden/Garland DOJ was a banana republic styled retaliation machine, set loose to destroy any detractors of the administration, and now between this and the investigations into the corrupt Russiagate antics carried out by former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former DNI James Clapper, the curtain is finally being pulled back on just how despicable their actions were.
Jail sentences are in order, but it’s unknown if that will ever happen. Corrupt Democrats, with help from the Deep State and the DNC-controlled media, have turned avoiding accountability into an art form.
