Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy has now blasted Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland over his decision to get the FBI involved in local school board disputes.

As Fox News reports:

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy claims that not only is the Justice Department out of bounds in trying to get involved in conflicts arising out of school board meetings, but Attorney General Merrick Garland knows it.

Garland issued a memo to DOJ employees earlier this week discussing efforts to combat violence, threats and “efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views” related to state and local school boards and officials. McCarthy, who worked for the department along with Garland during the Clinton administration, warns that this poses a number of legal problems.

“Garland knows this is dangerous nonsense,” McCarthy wrote in a piece for the National Review. Specifically, he was referring to the free speech issues that arise when acting against people’s expressions – even threats.

To back up his claim that the attorney general himself is aware of the problem, McCarthy recalled how during the Clinton presidency he pushed to charge “a notorious terrorist” with soliciting acts of violence and seditious conspiracy based on recorded statements supporting allegations that he called for bombing U.S. military installations. Garland was a senior DOJ official at the time, and McCarthy wrote about how the agency did not want to trample over the First Amendment.

The Department of Justice did not respond to Fox’s request for comment in the matter.

    1. I agree we should stand up to them, but America has not formulated the consensus among the population to wrest this regime from power. Useful Idiots are labeled in that manner because they will also succumb to the Jack Boot authoritarians who’ll be discarding their socialist/egalitarian sheep’s clothing once they’re entrenched in public office. They’re even more idiotic for not studying the history of these methods to impose regimes upon unwary populations.

    2. Oh, I think they’re going to EAT SHIT on This one. But Heck, let’s STAND UP TO THEM ON EVERYTHING FROM THIS POINT ON, for Sure!

  1. No Experience Needed, No Boss Over iil Your Shoulder… Say Goodbye To Your Old Job! Limited Number Of Spots Open…

  2. Parents in the videos were only standing up against harmful policies for their children. There were no threats of violence and FBI doesn’t need to be weaponized against the parents. School boards need to listen to the parents and parents and others in the community need to know who they are voting for in the little elections like the school board elections.

    1. It is a know fact that Soro’s money has been going out to help elect some of these school board members who are helping spread his socialism and damaging teaching curriculum !!

      1. soros should be stripped of his citizenship a long time ago
        but with so many crooks on the hill who got Payoffs,
        this will never happen. HOW SAD!!!!!!!!!!
        and do not forget BHO.

  3. Rise up America Vote out these Evil Doers in Washington DC swamp starting with the human tater tot biden and the Bimbo harris for Treason and Sedition against the American People and the Constitution then impeach Garland and Vote out the Nazis AKA the democratic party next election

  4. Garland is way overstepping his boundaries. The states have more authority than the federal government in local and state matters and they wont get involved. Who the hell does this asshole think he is? This idiot is the typical liberal elite that has a God complex thinking he can do as he pleases. News flash for you AG, you have no authority and its going to bite you in your fat ass.

  5. Well, that’s what the government leftists do. They make education a federal issue by creating the uS Department of Education – which is unconstitutional – and then they say that they have authority over them because they don’t like parents fighting back against the machine. That’s exactly what they’ll do to your healthcare as soon as they get Federal Socialist healthcare. Watch your backs. Nothing is free.

  6. Garland is a waste of air.He should be investigated, because i bet he is and has been receiving moneys to influnce your decissions and prosecutions. This is true with many politicians, lawyers that become heads of govt agencies, judges, etc.
    All of biden’s crew are all paid off and totally not respecting the consitution. They don’t care about the citizens but about complete control and really stupid people are behind him and his bosses. These rank and file people that support biden and his policies are the oness that will suffer. The problem is, so will many other smart inniocent people.

  7. Garland clearly cannot count! Not one parent approves of this stupid CRT. So commie ideas can go jump in the lake. God gave us 10 Commandments to live by, and love one another as I have loved you is part of the Commandments. Time for this rogue bunch to be permanently removed from ever holding Office
