Hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia 4, Explain America, and Republican Representative Chip Roy just tore a strip off Americk Garland, and it was beautiful

Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow

Now, this all came during a House hearing where Garland had to explain the Trump case

He had to explain the Hunter Biden case. but he also had to explain what some people believe was the targeting of Catholics

and was the targeting of school parents that objected to certain things being taught in their children's schools

Now there was a letter that circulated that talked about these parents in almost ways like they were domestic terrorists

And Texas Representative Chip Roy was not having it, and he demanded to know what Garland has done about it and if he apologized

Let's take a look. Thank the attorney general for being here before us today. On October 21st, 2021 before this committee, I ask you about Mr. Scott Smith, a father in Loudoun County, Virginia, who was arrested at a school board meeting where he questioned the rape of his daughter in a bathroom in the public school there

You said at the time you were unfamiliar with the case. Are you now? Yes or no

I'm only familiar to the extent I've read about it in the press. You sent a memo on October 4, 2021 directing the FBI and U.S. attorney offices to address, quote, harassment and quote of school boards

Yes or no? sent a memo to address violence and threats of violence in connection with school personnel

Directed at school boards. Not directed at school boards. Directed at school personnel, school administrators

Throughout the country is a priority for the federal government for the United States Attorney's Office. That followed a letter on September 29th 2021 from the National School Board Association to President Biden and emails from the National School Board Association director Chip Slavin to the White House in which the White House asked for specific threats And one of the examples was Scott Smith

Subsequent to our hearing two years ago, 26 states left the National School Board Association

and Slavin resigned on November 23rd of 2021. Last week, Mr. Smith was pardoned by Governor Yonkin

Do you think the governor was correct? Yes or no? Pardon authority belongs to the governor

You don't have an opinion on whether the governor was correct. I don't know the facts of the case, so I'm not in a position to make that

Have you rescinded the memo that you issued in 2021? Yes or no

What we're discussing... Have you rescinded the memo, yes or no? What we're discussing here occurs

Does the memo still exist? Is it still going? Yes or no? Has it been rescinded

The memo was intended to have meetings within 30 days. Has it been rescinded

The 30 days have finished. Nothing has happened in more than a year and a half

with respect to that memo. It has not been rescind. It has not been pulled back. There's nothing to rescind

Despite evidence that has come out from the National School Board Association, commissioned report that White House officials discussed this with DOJ more than a week

before the letter was sent. The NSBA apologized. Have you apologized? Yes or no

I've testified seven times since that original memo came out. It's the first time you're back here since we talked about it. I'm sorry

It's the first time you're back here in front of us. Have you apologized for putting that memo out

that implicated Scott Smith as a domestic terrorist, something the governor of Virginia has now

pardoned him from all of these accusations. The memo said nothing about him, nothing about parents being terrorists, nothing about attending

school boards. The answer is it's not been rescinded and you haven't apologized for it. The answer is that's not a..

Labeling an American citizen a domestic terrorist at a memo and referring to it and a memo that built on the back of that But now we had this compliments being driven to the Civil Rights Division Let talk about Mark Halk in Pennsylvania a father who was arrested with heavily armed

federal and local law enforcement in front of his wife and children. This after Mark Halk's lawyers had said he would appear voluntarily

Local authorities investigated found no case. Mark Halk was arrested by the FBI for face act violations

The jury met for an hour. Halk was acquitted. Now, when I was in federal court, I don't remember that being my result very often

In fact, I don't remember happening at all, where we went it, took it to a jury, and it was acquitted after an hour

Did you investigate this or in question the United States attorney why they wasted resources for such an obvious result

And can you explain yes or no that that was a good use of the Department of Justice's authority

Justice Department respects the jury's verdict. The decision in that case were made by agents and prosecutors on the ground

that enforcement of the FACE Act has been biased towards pro-lifers over anti-life protesters

126 to 4 by our count. And we're asking information to be able to track down the information of such

prosecutions, but 126 times against pro-lifers versus four times for people who dare to question

the issue of life. I'll just, I'll leave that out there just to say, that is the Civil Rights

Division at play. Meanwhile, we've got, you know, the very liberal progressive

groups being targeted as well. Senator Cruz and I sent a letter to you asking for information

about how the FBI informant had gone to a liberal group's pro-life meeting, and yet we didn't

get any response from you. So I'd ask if you'd respond to our letter that we sent back in March

asking about FBI infiltrating such a meeting. I don't know what you're referring to, but I will

ask the Office of Legislative Affairs to look into this letter Thank you Finally our tax cases require approval by Maine Justice no matter what district has venue Yes or no

Do tax cases as a general matter require approval by Maine Justice, no matter what district has venue, yes or no

It depends on the circumstances in the example that I know you're referring to

Generally speaking, yes. Not. Main Justice runs tax division, yes or no

Main Justice runs the tax division. In the Hunter Biden case, I assured Mr. Weiss

That's not what I'm asking about. I didn't ask you. I haven't mentioned that guy's name. I didn't

I very simply asked a very simple question. Do tax cases require approval by Maine justice

As a general matter. Most of the time, but not when the attorney general has granted authority to a U.S

attorney to do what he thinks is best. And in a turp battle, a tax division of proof the changes

Mr. Chairman, point of order. I mean, I recall my colleagues having a minute and a half of additional time

Of course Garland won't answer the question because he hasn't apologized. What happened here is shameful and they should be ashamed to themselves

Treating regular American citizens who are concerned about their children as domestic terrorists is absolutely abhorrent

It is abhorrent and they should be ashamed to themselves. The whole Justice Department from Garland on down, they made a mockery of the justice

system in this country and they continue to do so. An apology is owed and in my opinion a lawsuit should be filed
