Democrats have been playing dirty for years now. They’re not afraid to use every tool at their disposal to suppress opponents.
That’s why a Trump official has finally pulled the plug on the radical Left’s favorite political weapon.
Tulsi Gabbard Puts An End To Joe Biden Admin’s Weaponization Of Federal Government
The Biden administration’s approach to governance took a dark turn, as revealed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has called out the Democrats’ strategy of treating conservatives and dissenting citizens as domestic terrorists. Gabbard described this mentality as an “abuse of power,” pointing to a 2021 memo that gave the FBI unprecedented authority to investigate Americans for “concerning non-criminal behavior.” This policy, now defunct under the Trump administration, exposes a chilling effort by Democrats to harness federal agencies for political harassment.
In a statement shared with reporters, Gabbard announced she has dismantled the Biden-era domestic terrorism framework, which was used to justify targeting conservative Catholics, gun owners, and parents protesting school board policies. “Disguised as an attempt to curb ‘domestic terrorism,’ Biden’s plan actually functioned as a partisan playbook on how the Biden Administration would weaponize government and intelligence against everyday Americans whose ‘offense’ was supporting President Trump, or daring to disagree with or oppose their policies,” Gabbard said. Her words lay bare the Democrats’ willingness to stretch the definition of “threat” to silence opposition.
The 2021 memo, declassified by Gabbard this spring, empowered agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security to launch probes based on mere suspicion, without evidence of criminal activity. This marked a stark departure from decades of protocol, which required a “reasonable factual basis” that a crime had been committed. By lowering the bar to vague “concerns,” Democrats opened the door to fishing expeditions against political adversaries, a move that reeks of authoritarian overreach.
Legal experts and lawmakers have sounded alarms over this policy, warning it trampled on civil liberties. Gabbard herself signaled deep unease, emphasizing the need for transparency. “To ensure transparency and accountability, I declassified and released the document, so Americans could see the truth about the Biden Administration’s weaponization and politicization of our government against Americans. This abuse of power that violates our God-given freedoms and civil liberties must end,” she told reporters. Her decision to expose the memo underscores the gravity of the Democrats’ misuse of power.
The Trump administration has since scrapped the tactics outlined in the 2021 memo, crafted by Biden’s National Security Council. A shift in priorities is evident, with domestic terrorism recently removed as a top threat from the intelligence community’s national threat assessment. This rollback signals a rejection of the Democrats’ obsession with policing thought over addressing actual crimes, a point echoed by the FBI itself.
“The last administration appeared more focused on investigating Americans for their opinions than addressing actual criminal activity,” an FBI spokesman stated. “Under new leadership, the Bureau is actively reviewing and revising its guidance to ensure our efforts are focused where they belong: on making America safe.” This admission highlights how Democrats diverted law enforcement resources to target ideological opponents rather than genuine threats.
The Biden policy didn’t stop at vague investigations. It directed the Justice Department and FBI to push for legislative bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, curb “ghost guns,” and monitor active-duty service members for potential terrorism recruitment. These directives, framed as national security measures, conveniently aligned with Democratic talking points, raising questions about their true intent. Was this about safety or settling political scores?
Perhaps most insidious was the plan to counter “xenophobic disinformation” through the creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board” under the Department of Homeland Security. Led by Nina Jankowicz, the board was widely ridiculed as a dystopian “Ministry of Truth” before its dissolution in 2022 amid public backlash. The fact that Democrats even entertained such a program reveals their comfort with government overreach when it serves their agenda.
For decades, FBI investigations required a clear predicate—an “articulable factual basis” indicating a crime or national security threat. Biden’s policy obliterated this standard, allowing probes based on nebulous concerns. This shift didn’t just bend the rules; it shattered the trust Americans place in their government to act impartially. Democrats’ willingness to erode these protections for political gain is a betrayal of democratic principles.
Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, expressed shock at the policy’s implications, though not surprise at Democrats’ audacity. “It’s not surprising. But you’re right. It is shocking,” he shared, paraphrasing Barack Obama: “And again, elections have consequences, and in this case, it’s a very good consequence that now this is coming to light.” Johnson’s remarks frame the issue as a stark reminder of the stakes in political leadership.
The secrecy surrounding the 2021 memo, which was largely classified during Biden’s tenure, only deepens the sense of betrayal. That it took Gabbard’s declassification to bring this to light speaks volumes about Democrats’ lack of transparency. Johnson praised both Gabbard and Trump for exposing the policy, emphasizing the public’s right to know. “I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard looking up exactly what happened and releasing this information. It’s important the American public understands what government does to it, how it tramples on our constitutional rights,” he said.
The memo’s directives, from targeting specific political beliefs to pushing divisive legislative agendas, suggest a calculated effort to marginalize conservatives. By framing dissent as a national security threat, Democrats justified invasive surveillance and investigations, chilling free speech in the process. This wasn’t about protecting the nation—it was about control.
Gabbard’s revelations pull back the curtain on a troubling chapter in American governance. The Biden administration’s policies didn’t just skirt the edges of legality; they plunged headfirst into the realm of political vendettas. The use of federal agencies to harass citizens based on their views is a tactic more befitting a banana republic than a democracy.
