Jim Jordan Destroys Chuck Todd over FBI Targeting Parents

School board members were getting death threats. These weren’t idle things, parents just yelling and screaming. These were actual death threats to elected officials and the FBI got a tip. Should they not look into a death threat when an elected official gets a death threat?Show more

>> The school board writes a letter on September 29. Five days later the attorney general of the United States issues a memorandum to 101 attorneys’ offices around the country saying set up this line they can report on. 16 days later, Chuck, the FBI sends out an e-mail to agents all across the country saying put this designation on parents reported on the snitch line that the attorney general set up. So all that happens, think about it, September 29th, October 4th, October 20th. That all happens in 22 days. When have you ever seen the federal government move that fast? 25 parents.

>> They are death threats, congressman. Literally –

>> Let me finish this. 25 parents get reported on the snitch line. They all get investigated. FBI shows up at their door. Guess how many have been charged? Zero.

>> The FBI did its job. Did the FBI not do its job? If they were trumping things up wouldn’t they be arrested? You are trying to create a controversy out of the FBI following up a tip. In loudoun county, Virginia, school board member if she doesn’t quit or resign before the end of the year we will her but first we will kill you. In Dublin, Ohio, school board member you have become our enemies. You will be removed one way or the other. Shouldn’t the FBI investigate these?

>> One of the people they went to investigate was a mom, and they said because she is in the group 'moms for liberty' and because she has firearms at her house they go investigate. You get investigated in America over that? They show up at your house? You don't think that has a chilling impact on other parents? So there is a school board meeting tonight. Mr. Jones is thinking about going to talk at the school board meeting. And then he says, "you know maybe I won't go. Maybe I won't speak out, because I know Mrs. Smith had a visit from the FBI last week."
The chilling impact on First Amendment Free Speech is what we care about. This committee is about protecting the constitution, in particular the First Amendment.
