It has been shared with some&nbsp;members of the media. We have not seen it. Can you characterize the tenor&nbsp;of that letter by the&nbsp;whistleblower?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Jordan said, \u201cThe whistleblower talks&nbsp;about what is in the email that&nbsp;went out to the FBI agents&nbsp;around the country telling them&nbsp;to put together this threat tag, put this label, this terrorist&nbsp;tag on parents.&nbsp;This email, bill, went out&nbsp;the day before Merrick Garland&nbsp;came in front of our committee, saying nothing of the sort is&nbsp;going on. He tells us that, testifies to&nbsp;that, tells the American people&nbsp;that at the same time, just 24&nbsp;hours earlier, this email had&nbsp;been sent out. So the whistleblower walks through&nbsp;some of that in his letter, but&nbsp;it is just giving his belief&nbsp;about what this email tells&nbsp;FBI agents to do. \u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cIt sure looks like&nbsp;he misled the American people&nbsp;when he gave the answer that he&nbsp;did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During congressional testimony on October 21, Garland said, \u201cI can\u2019t imagine any&nbsp;circumstance in which the Patriot Act would be used in&nbsp;the circumstances of parents&nbsp;complaining about their&nbsp;children. Nor can I imagine a&nbsp;circumstance where they would&nbsp;be labeled as domestic&nbsp;terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hemmer asked, \u201cCan you dispute that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jordan said, \u201cAs he made that statement, the counter-terrorism division&nbsp;at the FBI was sending an&nbsp;email to FBI agents around&nbsp;the country saying put a threat&nbsp;tag on parents\u2019 names. So that directly contradicts it. He can\u2019t imagine using the Patriot Act. Then why was it the counter-terrorism division at the&nbsp;FBI who sent this email out&nbsp;to FBI agents? He\u2019s got a lot of questions to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cHe needs to stop this in its tracks. He needs to stop tracking&nbsp;parents with whatever label, whatever they\u2019ll&nbsp;call it. Stop tracking parents and stop&nbsp;giving them this label. This is what needs to happen. The American people understand&nbsp;it for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) said Thursday on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom\u201d that \u201cit sure\u201d looked like Attorney General Merrick Garland \u201cmisled\u201d Americans during a congressional hearing.
