U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is testifying today before the House Judiciary Committee about, among other things, his memo classifying parents who raise concerns about their children’s welfare at public school board meetings.

GOP Rep. Chip Roy figured that this would be a good opportunity to ask Garland about Loudoun County father Scott Smith, whose daughter’s alleged rape by a male student in a skirt was covered up by Loudoun County Public Schools. Seems relevant to the conversation at hand, seeing as Smith is one of those “domestic terrorists” that Biden’s DOJ and the National School Board Association have been going on about.
So Rep. Roy asked him about it. Here’s what Garland had to say:
Attorney General Garland says he doesn't "know anything" about the Loudoun County Public Schools assault case.

Beg your pardon, Mr. Attorney General?
Rep. @chiproytx presses AG Garland on the Loudoun County sexual assault scandal.

As he should have:
WHOA —
Garland used the father of the victim as a pretext to call parents domestic terrorists but he “doesn’t know the facts or the case?!”
And school board meetings require the FBI.. but serial rapists enabled by school officials are “state cases.” https://t.co/qQrjZCTPsM

It's a state case when Garland knows nothing about it . Yet he's getting the DOJ involved with school board meetings .

But he knows enough about local school board meetings to send the FBI after concerned parents?
Can you imagine this guy on the Supreme Court? https://t.co/mQezGCQ0qZ

WTHF? So the guy going after parents for expressing their grievances at school board meetings, referring to them as domestic terrorists, doesn't know the facts about the sickest, most vile school board coverup ever? https://t.co/P6r3y9jL2b

Something’s not adding up here.
The National School Board Association letter specifically cited the father of the girl allegedly assaulted as an example of the threats of violence against teachers.
— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) October 21, 2021
Letter links to this story: "Smith, 48, of Leesburg, was charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice…sheriff’s office says he physically threatened someone and then 'continued to be disorderly with the deputy' and resisted arrest."https://t.co/0vgE2MTRdc
— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) October 21, 2021
Of course, the National School Board Association letter made no mention of why the father was angry (because his daughter was allegedly anally raped in a school bathroom). pic.twitter.com/42xXaogJ3k

But that NSBA letter played a pretty important role in the DOJ’s memo …
Biden AG Merrick Garland concedes that he started targeting parents for "possible domestic terrorism" because the NSBA sent a letter. pic.twitter.com/ZDvhZ6vDzO

Welp.
Over a case that he stated he had never heard about. This is incredible. https://t.co/ISOhVxLLMa

So is Merrick Garland lying before Congress? Seems to be a pretty popular pastime these days.
Is it possible Garland didn’t know ? He seemed to be telling the truth but how is it possible ?
— Nancy (@sooo_nance) October 21, 2021
It’s either lying, or staggering ignorance on his part of what the DOJ is actually doing.
It's possible he didn't know, which means he's incompetent and allows corrupt DOJ "assistants/advisers" run the show. However, he DOES know that his family has a financial stake in pushing CRT in the schools.

Thank goodness for not-so-small favors:
Thank you, Mitch McConnell, for keeping this off of the Supreme Court. https://t.co/zt8PjkCyg5
