Bombshell Docs: Biden FBI Investigated Ties to Moms for Liberty Group

Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich said her group feels “vindication” after a Justice Department report found the FBI opened dozens of assessments involving parents after a Biden-era directive on threats against school officials. One of those assessments grew out of a tip that cited a mother’s membership in a “right-wing mom’s group.”

“My reaction and our reaction at Moms for Liberty is vindication,” Descovich told Fox News Digital. “We feel… we’re finally being heard.”

She said parents tied to the group became afraid to speak in public after the Justice Department and FBI response to heated school-board fights that began in 2021. Some, she said, got calls asking about their mental health and whether they had weapons at home.

“Parents were afraid to show up,” Descovich said. “They were afraid to lose their jobs. They were members of our organization, sometimes privately and silently standing with us, but too afraid to speak out because of what our government did in the United States of America. We need to not forget where we were in 2021 as we go into these midterm elections.”

The Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group reported Monday that the FBI opened 25 “Guardian assessments” involving parents after then-Attorney General Merrick Garland’s October 4, 2021, memorandum on threats against school officials.

The report says an FBI whistleblower disclosed that one mother was investigated after a tip that noted she was a gun owner and belonged to what was described as a “right-wing mom’s group.” A separate joint DOJ-Education Department release identified that organization as Moms for Liberty.

“We have known since 2021 that the DOJ and the FBI under the Biden administration were basically enemies to parents and to Moms for Liberty,” Descovich said. “Our parents were getting phone calls after attending school board meetings asking if they had mental health problems, if they had weapons in their home. They were given case numbers and file numbers.”

She called the new acknowledgment absurd. “And this latest report that’s come out and press release from the DOJ and the DOE acknowledging that fact and declaring that, officially, parents are not domestic terrorists. It’s almost ridiculous. It’s absurd that that’s happened in America and that has to be the headline today that we’re actually returning to normalcy.”

The Justice Department press release said personnel internally called the effort “ridiculous,” raised First Amendment concerns, and said it appeared political, but that emails show Garland issued the memo after pressure from Biden White House officials. The Working Group found that the memo “was the product of pressure exerted by the White House and wrongly weaponized the Department of Justice against parents.”

Descovich said the threat tag, which she tied to use of the Patriot Act against parents at school-board meetings, “sent a chill through the country.” She said the first step of accountability was the last election, and that she hopes the current administration will hold the individuals who drove the effort responsible.

Fox News Digital said it reached out to the FBI and the White House for comment. The Department of Education deferred to its press release and letter.
