Sen. Blackburn is going after the FBI with a vengeance, not only for going after Trump in what she characterized as a blatantly political way, but also for what she characterized as “the two tiers of justice being carried out by the Garland-Biden DOJ and FBI.”
At one point in the recent hearing in which she tore into the FBI, she called out the FBI for how it has let FBI agents “target” numerous “people of faith.” As she put it: “The American people have watched your agents target parents, people of faith, and almost anyone with conservative values and they wonder—am I next? There is only one conclusion that any serious person could draw: there is a two-tiered system of justice under this administration.”
Continuing, she went on to note that people are waking up to the sort of system the FBI has created, namely how certain DC swamp creatures never seem to get in trouble but normal people and enemies of the regime routinely wind up in the FBI’s line of fire. “The American people know that, if they aren’t loyal to Washington’s liberal political elite or if their last name doesn’t happen to be Biden or Clinton, they are at risk of being targeted,” she said.
Then she got to a few particularly horrifying examples of how the FBI has targeted normal people, whether by drawing their guns on a pro-life advocate while raiding his house or by calling concerned parents furious with their local school boards “domestic terrorists.” She said: “FBI agents, under your leadership, drew their guns on a pro-life advocate in front of his wife and children; labeled concerned parents as ‘domestic terrorists;’ and even conducted an unprecedented raid on the home of a former president and political opponent.”
Continuing, Sen. Blackburn went on to contrast that harsh treatment of ordinary Americans and Trump with the velvet glove treatment that Hillary and Biden have gotten from the agency.
“These actions have only confirmed everyday Americans’ worst suspicions, especially considering that the FBI has refused to hold the Democratic elite to the same standard. When Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information, wiped her personal email server with a tool called BleachBit, and literally had her phone destroyed with a hammer, the FBI did nothing,” she said.
Continuing, she went on to call out the disparity in treatment of Biden and Trump after Trump was found to have documents he claims to have declassified in his Mar-a-Lago home, and Biden had boxes of documents in his garage and many more stored at U Penn. “When President Biden mishandled classified documents, the FBI did not raid his home like they did for President Trump. Now that the Biden family has been implicated in a far-reaching bribery scheme with a foreign nation, this administration has resorted to its old playbook: distract and deflect,” she said.
She then claimed that Americans have woken up to what the FBI is up to and aren’t going to put up with it anymore, saying, “Well, the American people will not be distracted from the left’s weaponization of our government or President Biden’s two-tiered system of justice.”
