Law So Merrick Garland lied about creating a counter-terrorism task force about the parents at schools

I ran your online persona through the newest artificial intelligence algorithm, and it decided you are really into Carl’s Jr. and white robes

Sleeves & chest tattoos?
Swastikas?
Necklaces and rings?
Fat AF with no muscle definition?
Biker facial hair?
Homoerotic undertones?

I give you 1/10 for guessing correctly that I'm white.

Sounds like your 'newest artificial intelligence algorithm' runs on Windows '95.

It’s ok, he’s obviously retarded. So this is a good job for Ralph

Well looks like we dodged a bullet with the Republicans keeping him from the Supreme Court.

 

[Ophydian]

When they have actual FBI documents that show Garland lied....yes

If it was a whistleblower in hiding stating he heard it from a friend.....no

Vindman was on the call

I haven't click on this BS story but answer me this. I am NO fan of Garland. I believe he should be removed, he is not up to task. If during a hearing with Congress, Garland makes the statement that he cannot image a circumstance where a parent would be labeled a domestic terrorist and then the next day he is given information that would change his mind, how is that lying?

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

The entire issue revolves around did they use counter-terrorism tactics because Garland said they did not.
Republicans are saying he did.

If they did, he lied. If they didn't, he did not lie.

We don't even have to go there. The line of questioning he was responding to was "Do you monitor parents just because they protest school boards.?" And that was a no. Then it comes out that the FBI has subsequently "tagged" people going to this school board and threatening violence. A bit of a distinction there. Monitor parents who just show up = No. Monitor parents who might be planning violence = Yes.

This is another manufactured scandal that will die on the vine and leave all the usual posters crying, not that their theories were completely wrong, but how there must be yet again another giant conspiracy to cover up something only they see.

It sounds like they are investigating criminal conduct and potential terror threats (politically motivated threats). Not arbitrarily investigating "parents" for the crime of parenting, or even anyone who disagrees with the schoolboard.

I'm all for further investigation and further clarification, but it sounds like his testimony was probably accurate and this is largely political theater.

Look at this innocent parent being targeted for voicing his concern:


If a parent cant scream "we will find you. You won't be allowed in public. You better watch out" at an elected official while an angry mob batters his car without it being considered a threat then where are we as a civil society:


It's not like the National School Board Association has asked for federal help:


Certaintly there's no criminal conduct at these things

Thanks for the added commentary. Lol, this proves that @cottagecheesefan is an actual Karen. Wow, this is Tucker level
Of BS manipulation. Sad that some fell for it.

Vindman was on the call

There was nothing wrong with the call. It's funny you'd even bring that up with everything that has come out in regards to Hunter.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

I am not really following this, so what have I missed? Merrick is already on record regarding investigation and documentation of threats of violence and actual violence among parents. Are they 'threat tagging' people that are not threatening violence?

Given the current rate of school massacres, keeping track of people threatening violence in educational surroundings seems relatively sensible.

Lets start with what a threat is or isn't. The guy whose daughter was raped was charged with threatening for saying "F you"

Hunter is not in office now or was he at any point in time.

We can agree that's not a threat. And I agree that is a tough, heartbreaking situation. While I was disappointed they actually took Smith to trial, his actual arrest was fairly justified. When you physically resist officers while continuing a tirade, it's not going to end well. All things considered, the PA should have exercised better judgement. Here is a video of the actual arrest.

But he was riding air force 2 with daddy while shaking down foreign countries. And let's not forget the big guy was getting his cut.

Forum Rooster Enthusiast desperately tries for a thread derail, comes up short yet again

A sprawling report released Tuesday by a Republican-controlled Senate panel that spent three years investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Kremlin officials and other Russians, including at least one intelligence officer and others tied to the country’s spy services.

The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, totaling nearly 1,000 pages, drew to a close one of the highest-profile congressional investigations in recent memory and could be the last word from an official government inquiry about the expansive Russian campaign to sabotage the 2016 election.

It provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American electionto help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary.

Gee. What sources should I trust more?

You see the guy you quoted sourced multiple articles by both the NY Times and Reuters international desk.

On the other hand, you linked to a self-published article by a russian podcaster who penned a few pieces for Rolling Stone back in the day.

Man, this is tough. But seeing as it looks like you just googled "russiagate hoax" and linked to the first thing that came up, I'm gonna go with the guy who cited multiple Pulitzer winning journalists.

Merrick Garland. Another die-hard, red-blooded American who just wants to make the USA a greater, stronger country and doesn't have any sinister agenda. Noooo!

Hope he gets canned
