It Begins: FBI raids house, terrorizes family of mom who protested local school board, elections

Did any of you try to figure out why her home was raided?

Anyone? Here's someone who looked into the reasons.

"He addressed my concerns about the involvement of the FBI and the absolute necessity for the presumption of innocence to be extended to all of those being investigated,” Boebert said of Rubinstein. “It was clear from our conversation that the district attorney is being responsible in his approach and conducting his work in as timely and professional a manner as possible, as well as providing local oversight of the FBI’s role."

In case you're wondering (I know, you're probably not), it has to do with Tina Peters and the AZ election audit (cough, cough), not school boards.
Sherrona Bishop?

....NOT democrats:

(most likely libertarians)
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona solicited the much-criticized letter from the National School Boards Association that compared protesting parents to domestic terrorists, according to an email exchange ...

...The email exchange indicates Cardona was more involved with the letter's creation than previously known.

President Biden's Department of Justice relied on the NSBA letter, which suggested using the Patriot Act against parents, in creating its own memo directing the FBI to mobilize in support of local education officials....

..."Attorney General Merrick Garland unequivocally stated that he based his memo on the NSBA's letter - which in turn, mobilized the FBI and US Attorneys," Neily added. "If Secretary Cardona was truly involved in this ugly episode, it is a significant breach of public trust, and he should be held accountable." ...

And this is just precious:
The FBI and Justice Department say they treat domestic extremist violence the same regardless of ideology. Sanborn said the FBI has opened more than 800 investigations tied to the 2020 rioting and arrested more than 250 people. Attorney General Merrick Garland said last week that the Justice Department had arrested and charged more than 725 people for their alleged roles in the Jan. 6 attack.
So lets see... billions and billions of $damage, a year of cities burned to the ground, and we've got 250 people "arrested". 2 hours at the capital, and we've got 725 (some still held without a trial). Yeah. That sounds about right. For being politically balanced. Yeah.

Democrats.

Cardona is an ass. I think he should be fired.

Do you really think only 250 riot related arrests happened in 2020?

The fact that anyone defends this behavior from unelected bureaucrats is despicable.

They had to have a meeting, and make a list of the attendees!!! The horror.
Next we're going to hear that they had to attend the meeting in person and not on Zoom!



"And to verify that they had the meeting and list details…such as the local officials who attended. So this was not something that was just, you know, not something that they didn't believe was important. It doesn't it doesn't look like they put a lot of effort and resources into enforcing the memo."

The DOJ had no dog in the race. This was a local matter in ALL cases. Federal involvement was 100% politically motivated. The politically motivated part is the perversion.
