Joe Biden's White House administration by now is famed for its weaponization of the federal government.
President Donald Trump has documents from his presidency? Send a SWAT team.
A father objects to an abortion business and the violence associated with it? Send a SWAT team.
Use the grand jury and court systems to assembled long lists of charges and criminal counts against Biden critics, sometimes without evidence at all.
Claim fraud when the "victims" say there wasn't any.
And more.
Now a report at Just the News reveals that Biden even wanted Americans spied on, monitoring, and investigated for "non-criminal behavior."
Of course, the requirement was that such "non-criminal behavior" actually was "concerning" to someone in the government.
Specifically a now-declassified document states Biden's goal was to, "Enhance public understanding of the role of Federal law enforcement in responding to incidents of concerning non-criminal behavior, as well the role of mental health professionals and resources in crisis response, including through public messaging and engagement."
The Department of Justice and FBI were to be the "lead" on the project to look out for that "non-criminal behavior."
The report explained the goal was to be "fighting domestic terrorism."
To that end, the feds were watching anyone in the military, anyone with a firearm, anyone with "xenophobic' information.
Biden's demand for eyes on vast numbers of Americans was revealed when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released the Biden "Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism."
From 2021, it outlined the agenda that the FBI would use later to monitor and probe conservative Catholics, parents who objected to leftist ideologies in their local schools, and to justify censorship and debanking of a long list of conservatives and organizations.
All under the guise of their being "potential enemies," the report said.
The standards came from the National Security Council and were dispatched to the DOJ and FBI, which later weaponized a long list of government responsibilities to attack conservatives.
The report explained that FBI agents had been required before to have met the required "predicate" goals for opening criminal and national security investigations.
Those factors would include "an articulable factual basis" that "reasonably indicates" a crime or national security threat has or is about to occur, the report explained.
Biden's let that standard plunge, to a level of "concern."
The verbiage created by Biden's administration, in fact, was "merely a broad brush to start spying on Americans," explained Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., of the House Judiciary Committee.
He told Just the News, "It doesn't have to be criminal, for sure. But it doesn't have to be heterodox. It just has to be something that some agent, or some local agent, says, 'Oh, we got a beef about this. We're going to check it out.'"
He described Biden's move as a clear violation of the 4th Amendment.
"It's spying on Americans," he said.
Previously reporting confirmed that the FBI was alerted at the time for symbols from the American Revolution, such as the Gadsden Flag and such. The report noted the goals outlined in the document overlapped existing Democrat party ideologies, including gun control, promoting "hate crimes" beliefs and such.
It also focused on so-called "disinformation," which during the Biden administration was whatever disagreed with his party's leftism.
Just the News reported, "Several FBI whistleblowers said that the strategies originally designed to target genuine extremists were instead turned against pro-life protestors, parents vocalizing concerns about their children's school curriculum at school board meetings, and those expressing traditional Catholic viewpoints."
