Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has introduced articles of impeachment against Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cDirector Wray has failed to uphold his oath and has instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our democratic republic by utilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a Federal police force to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime,\u201d Greene wrote in the articles of impeachment.<\/p>\n<p> The presidential appointee and his agency have come under fire recently as reports surface alleging widespread violations of Americans\u2019 constitutionally-protected civil liberties, targeting of political enemies, and other allegations of partisan or illegal behavior.<\/p>\n<p> In a statement announcing her filing of the articles, Greene wrote: \u201cUnder [Wray\u2019s] watch, the FBI has intimidated, harassed, &#038; entrapped Americans who have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime. Wray has turned the FBI into Joe Biden and [Attorney General] Merrick Garland\u2019s personal police force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> She accused Wray of using \u201cSoviet-style tactics\u201d to target normal Americans who disagreed with President Joe Biden\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n<p>  U.S. Rep.

Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, which overturned the federal right to abortion.<\/p>\n<p> In September 2022, the FBI raided the home of Matthew Houck, a pro-life Catholic, for having obstructed access to an abortion provider.<\/p>\n<p> Other whistleblower claims backed by leaked documents reveal that the FBI has also targeted so-called \u201cradical-traditionalist Catholics,\u201d dubbing them \u201cRTCs.\u201d The leaked documents accused traditional and Latin Mass Catholic communities of being a harbor for \u201cwhite supremacism\u201d and indicated that the FBI intended to place informants in these churches.<\/p>\n<p> In 2021, a required public audit found the FBI had abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to carry out more than 3.3 million illegal queries of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p> In another case, the FBI has allegedly aided and abetted criminal behavior. As many as 12 FBI agents allegedly participated in a 2021 plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, masterminding and encouraging men to carry out the plan.<\/p>\n<p> The FBI came under even more scrutiny in the wake of the agency mounting a raid on the home of President Donald Trump, an unprecedented move.\u00a0The raid allegedly was due to Trump\u2019s possession of classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>  A police car sits outside former President Donald Trump\u2019s residence at Mar-A-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla., on Aug. 8, 2022, as the FBI searches his home for classified documents.

A senior FBI official left the agency under a cloud of accusations that he shielded a laptop belonging to the President\u2019s son, Robert Hunter Biden, from a criminal probe,\u201d Greene said, citing allegations that the FBI sought to cover up the story about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop.<\/p>\n<p> The laptop reveals the president\u2019s son engaging in a litany of potential crimes, including apparently smoking crack cocaine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
