Andy Biggs sent a letter Friday to Attorney General Merrick Garland. They\u2019re demanding a list of answers after a Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblower claimed the FBI ordered personnel to compile parent-threat assessments.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller first obtained the letter, spearheaded by Biggs and signed by 14 other House Republicans. In it, the lawmakers ask Garland 15 questions after reviewing the leaked documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee. The FBI created a \u201cthreat tag\u201d titled \u201cEDUOFFICIALS\u201d to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/16\/fbi-counterterrorism-division-reportedly-created-threat-tag-for-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">track instances of threats against school officials<\/a>, according to a joint statement by the Assistant Directors of the Bureau\u2019s Criminal Investigative Division and the Counterterrorism Division.<\/p>\n<p>The joint statement was released the day before Garland\u2019s testimony and a day before the documents were leaked by the DOJ whistleblower to the committee. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/16\/fbi-counterterrorism-division-reportedly-created-threat-tag-for-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: FBI Counterterrorism Division Reportedly Created \u2018Threat Tag\u2019 For Parents)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cConcerned parents are not domestic terrorists,\u201d Biggs told the Daily Caller. \u201cThis isn\u2019t an opinion; it is a fact. The Department of Justice should be investigating actual threats, not parents who are exercising their constitutional rights. Attorney General Garland owes Congress and every targeted parent an explanation for his politically-driven actions. We will not tolerate the weaponization of the DOJ and the soviet-style surveillance of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE LETTER HERE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- Letter From Congressman Biggs to AG Garland 11.19.21 on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/540962061\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-Letter-From-Congressman-Biggs-to-AG-Garland-11-19-21#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 14 House Republicans who joined Biggs on the letter include: Pennsylvania Rep.
