Latest on Report On Biden Lawfare Shows What Dems Will Do With Power

A Democrat-controlled Congress would give the same party subpoena power, committee leadership roles, and resources to do what its done in the past: investigate and harass its opponents. Sunday marked five years since then-Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum that instructed his Department of Justice (DOJ) to help investigate and prosecute parents who showed up at school board meetings to complain about far-left initiatives or Covid policies.

Five years later we now know that the Biden White House was behind Garlands effort to target parents, The Federalists Matt Kittle reported. The anniversary and new finding also come on the heels of former Special Counsel Jack Smiths testimony before Congress last week, in which his lawfare efforts to keep President Donald Trump out of office faced further scrutiny.

What we know

With the midterms less than a month away, both instances serve to remind Americans of what Democrats will do with power given the chance: wage a lawfare campaign against their political opponents. 1 Back in September of 2021, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) sent a letter to the Biden administration asking it to take on the “immediate threat” that parents posed to their childrens schools.

The “threat” stemmed from parents who were voicing their concerns and criticisms about critical race theory curriculum, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates. As a result of this memo, the federal government opened 25 preliminary assessment files regarding alleged “school board threats.” In other words, a Democrat-led “justice” department decided that questioning or opposing left-wing thought orthodoxy like CRT justified the investigation of ordinary Americans with the intent of prosecution.

Key details

Nonetheless, the NSBA claimed that an independent review found that there was no collusion with the Biden administration. Jack Smiths Lawfare Escapades In addition to these further revelations of Biden administration overreach, Special Counsel Jack Smith, an appointee of Garland, and the anti-Trump lawfare he led during the 2024 election cycle again took center stage last week.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that Smith obtained communications from more than a dozen media outlets, including those of The Federalists Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway. Smith obtained the messages as part of his “Arctic Frost” witch hunt, which was an unconstitutional effort to get Trump that resulted in Smiths team spying on members of Congress and the media.

Why it matters

Smiths team also targeted nearly 5,000 Americans who made political donations to President Donald Trump, Grassley announced. One Iowan who donated $10 to the president just months before the 2020 election had his home address, bank information, and other personal information handed over to the Biden administrations weaponized FBI and DOJ.

Democrats targeted parents who challenged what their children were being taught, journalists who scrutinized the Biden administration, and Americans who gave Trump as little as $10. They used regular acts of political participation as justification for government investigation and overreach.

With each abuse of power, Democrats sent the American people a stark message: Speaking up or disagreeing with the narratives of the regime could put them on the governments target list. Thats the legacy voters need to remember this November.

Democrats dont need to get back into the White House to haul Americans before committees or demand their records.
