Questions raised about Garland DOJ
RedState brought you the story last week of how between 20-30 armed FBI agents showed up early on the morning of September 23 at Catholic activist Mark Houck’s home, pounding relentlessly against the door until he opened it, flashing semi-automatic weapons at his wife and seven children, then taking him away—handcuffed with a belly-chain—while his terrorized, screaming family cried in the background. His crime? He allegedly shoved a man who was verbally abusing his 12-year-old son and getting up into his face.
...
Now 22 lawmakers are demanding answers:
The 47-year-old Houck is the Co-Founder & President of The King’s Men, a pro-Catholic, pro-masculinity advocacy group. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The lunacy on display here is mind-boggling: A) local officials and the Philadelphia district attorney declined to press charges last October when the encounter took place. Why? Because there wasn’t enough evidence of a crime. B) When Houck found out the Department of Justice was investigating, he offered to turn himself in. The DOJ however, declined that option and decided a full military assault was the better way to go. C) The charges are obviously bogus and trumped up. It is an unbelievable stretch to imagine that Mark Houck was deliberately preventing someone from obtaining an abortion when he was simply protecting his son from an unhinged protester. He now faces up to 11 years in prison, if you can believe it.
It is once again, sadly, another example of the wholesale politicization and militarization of our Department of Justice.
The FBI tried to downplay the incident, saying that no SWAT operators were involved and that no weapons were pointed at the family. That lame retort does not explain why the heavily-armed agents were needed in the first place.
...
To me, what’s so terrifying about this incident is that Houck has no ties to Q-Anon, has no criminal record, had nothing to do with Jan. 6, and is not a known Trump associate—he’s just a guy. Meaning that Attorney Merrick Garland is now using the awesome powers of the federal government to go after regular American citizens for the crime of not agreeing with Joe Biden.
...
This looks like an abuse of power to try to frighten a family and anyone who might disagree with the Biden administration. What Congress should be doing is investigating those responsible for ordering such a raid. I think it will after the coming election. They should also investigate those responsible for ordering the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
