Biden Admin Singled Out ‘Pro-Life, Pro-Family’ Americans as Terrorists

During its four years in office, the Biden-Harris administration conducted a whole-of-government attempt to surveil, censor, and possibly imprison conservative Christians — and the FBI acted as “a witting participant” in their harassment campaign, a massive new government report details.

The Democratic administration’s attempt to harass “pro-life, pro-family” citizens takes up a significant part of the 17,019-page report, which the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released on December 20. The efforts included painting concerned parents and “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as incipient domestic terrorists.

“The Select Subcommittee revealed and stopped the FBI’s effort to target Catholic Americans because of their religious views, detailed the Justice Department’s directives to target parents at school board meetings, stopped the Internal Revenue Service from making unannounced visits to American taxpayers’ homes, caused the Justice Department to change its internal policies to respect the separation of powers and limit subpoenas for [l]egislative [b]ranch employees, and highlighted the vast warrantless financial surveillance of Americans by federal law enforcement,” states the report, which proved so sprawling it had to be released in four parts.

“The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government,” said the subcommittee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), in an email sent to The Washington Stand.

Biden ‘Misused Federal Law’ to Go after Concerned Parents

Perhaps the most heavy-handed weaponization of government undertaken by the Biden-Harris administration came when it declared war on mothers and fathers who objected to having their children indoctrinated in the public school system. After teachers unions and liberal authorities closed in-person classes in government schools, parents realized the extent to which activists had smuggled critical race theory and extreme gender ideology into the curriculum. Soon, they began voicing their objections to the local school board.

“As the radical left pushed its woke agenda on America’s children, parents across the country started speaking out at school board meetings against critical race theory, unscientific mask mandates, transgender ideology in the classroom and bathroom, and anti-America curricula. Concerned parents were vocal and unafraid in their opposition to this indoctrination,” states the report. “The National School Boards Association (NSBA) and the Biden [a]dministration, however, could not abide this growing parental rights revolution and colluded to create a pretext—articulated in an October 4 memorandum from Attorney General [Merrick] Garland — to use the federal law-enforcement apparatus to silence parents.”

The report documents how Democrats “worked with education special interests to generate” the underlying basis of the directive. Specifically, the Biden administration “colluded” with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) beginning in October 2021 and “misused federal law-enforcement and counterterrorism resources for political purposes.” The FBI conducted 25 “Guardian assessments,” including investigating a mother because she belonged to a “right-wing mom’s group” and a father because “he rails against the government.”

“No one I spoke with in law enforcement seemed to think that there is a serious national threat directed at school boards,” one U.S. Attorney told the subcommittee.

Yet the investigations followed the memo, which Biden’s Justice Department released one month before the 2021 Virginia governor’s election. The Democratic state elected Republican Glenn Youngkin, who promised to give parents greater control over education. In their debate, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

“Despite federal law enforcement’s task to protect all Americans, the Biden-Harris [a]dministration pursued a two-tiered system of justice. … [T]he FBI singled out Americans who are pro-life, pro-family, and support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction as potential domestic terrorists.”

‘Radical’ Catholics or Radical Abuse of Government?

Whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed the existence of a memorandum written by the FBI’s Richmond office describing an alleged tie between terrorism and “radical-traditionalist Catholic” Christians. Despite the lack of evidence to support the allegation, this purported link would allow federal agents to spy on members of a Christian denomination, remotely or in person.

The “FBI’s own internal review identified errors at every step of the drafting, review, and approval of” the document. “FBI employees could not define the meaning of ‘radical-traditionalist Catholic’ when preparing, editing, or reviewing the memorandum. Nevertheless, this single investigation became the basis for an FBI-wide memorandum warning about the dangers of ‘radical’ Catholics,” notes the report. “The two FBI employees who co-authored the memorandum later told FBI internal investigators that they knew the sources cited in the memorandum had a political bias — sources including the Southern Poverty Law Center, Salon, and The Atlantic.”

Basing a proposed infiltration of Latin Mass parishes on such a flimsy intelligence product proves that “the FBI abused its counterterrorism tools to target Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists and that there was no legitimate basis for the memorandum to insert federal law enforcement into Catholic houses of worship,” investigators conclude. By the time public outcry led to a public apology, the FBI had already interrogated a priest and choir director, “relied on at least one undercover agent to develop its assessment, and the FBI even proposed developing sources among the Catholic clergy and church leadership.”

In other words, the FBI planned to place undercover informants inside churches.

“The FBI was a witting participant in the [a]dministration’s anti-parent endeavor,” the report concludes, but abusing the rights of U.S. citizens became an all-of-government undertaking. Although “the FBI has targeted its employees who hold conservative viewpoints, investigated parents at school board meetings, and sought to invade the sacred spaces of Catholic churches in the name of fighting ‘domestic terrorism,]” such “abuses are not limited to the FBI,” says the report. “Federal agencies including the IRS, the Treasury Department, and other Justice Department components like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), have misused federal funds to target Americans.”

The report also notes the government’s attempt to “prebunk” the Hunter Biden laptop story, the first-ever FBI raid on the home of a former President Donald Trump and subsequent acts of lawfare against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, government harassment of Elon Musk and Twitter (now known as X), mistreatment of whistleblowers, and the financial surveillance of American citizens.

The report’s 12,757-page appendix chronicles the subcommittee’s hearings, letters, subpoenas, depositions, and transcribed interviews.

This tome comes as the latest in a series of devastating reports chronicling the rampant corruption of the Biden-Harris administration and its enablers burrowed deep into America’s bureaucratic infrastructure. Earlier this month, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its 520-page report titled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward” found nearly every COVID-19 conspiracy theory was true.

The voluminous report represents the full body of research the subcommittee has undertaken since the House of Representatives formed the 20-member investigative body, comprised of 11 Republicans and nine Democrats, in February 2023. The subcommittee acted as part of the House Judiciary Committee, also chaired by Jordan.
