Hi John,

I've just published a new blog post:
[link removed] Garland's Disgrace

Yesterday was my long-awaited clash with Attorney General Merrick
Garland. Several observers noted that Garland became more rattled during
our exchange than at any time during the hearing. You can watch the full
five-minutes of questioning here
.

It was hard to settle on one topic, but in the end I focused on his most
sweeping abuse: the infamous memo mobilizing federal law enforcement and
counter-terrorism powers to target American parents.

I began by setting Garland up to praise FBI Director Christopher Wray.
He readily took the bait, describing Wray as "a person of the highest
integrity" who would never give false testimony. I then confronted him
with visuals quoting Wray's testimony that I elicited in July.

While Garland's pretext for the memo was a "disturbing spike" in
"threats," Wray said this was bogus: there was "no uptick" at
all. For that reason, Wray testified, there "no compelling law
enforcement justification" for the memo.

With his own FBI Director contradicting him, Garland made the incredible
claim that he issued the memo based on "reports in the press." He
then pulled rank on the man he had just glowingly praised, blaring,
"the memo is

**mine,** it was

**my**decision."

Garland then refused 5 times to define the term "chilling effect,"
before finally giving the definition: "when peoples' exercise of
First Amendment rights are chilled by coercive activity by the
government." This, of course, was the true purpose of the memo.

The Biden Administration saw the growing parents movement as a force for
change and a threat to its own power. Garland thus tried to nip it in
the bud. He activated the DOJ and FBI to target parents so they'd be
discouraged from participating in the political process.

It is one of the most disgraceful abuses of power in American history
and a window into what is driving decision-making at the current
Department of "Justice."

Support my efforts to hold Garland accountable
