Biden's weaponized FBI destroyed innocent lives.
The full extent of the abuse is finally coming to light.
And FBI agents tried to destroy a teacher over one sick January 6 hoax.
Anonymous Tip From "Former Friend" Launched FBI Nightmare
Senator Rand Paul dropped a bombshell on the five-year anniversary of January 6.
Documents Paul released show the FBI tracked Christine Crowder for 23 months and labeled her a domestic terrorist despite zero evidence she committed any crime.
Crowder teaches kindergarten at a Catholic school in Texas.
She's married to a Federal Air Marshal.
An anonymous "former friend" — some friend — contacted the FBI claiming Crowder entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Someone Crowder trusted stabbed her in the back with a phone call that destroyed two years of her life.
The FBI opened an investigation in January 2021 and immediately hit a wall.
Facial recognition came back negative.
Geolocation data came back negative.
No criminal history.
No links to extremist activity.
Did the FBI close the case and move on?
Biden's FBI Turned Kindergarten Teacher Into Enemy of the State
Federal agents physically surveilled Crowder's home at least four times.
They put her on a travel watchlist.
The U.S. Attorney's Office accepted the case for prosecution before anyone verified they had the right person.
Prosecutors were ready to destroy this woman's life over an anonymous tip they never bothered to confirm.
In October 2022, the FBI executed a search warrant on her Facebook account.
Air Marshals — her husband's own colleagues — tracked her minute-by-minute on domestic flights for two years.
Her husband testified to the Senate that he watched his fellow Air Marshals surveil his wife and children while they traveled together.
Imagine sitting on a plane knowing federal agents are watching your wife and kids like criminals.
The FBI finally interviewed Crowder in May 2023 — more than two years after branding her a terrorist.
She showed agents the clothes she wore on January 6 and a rideshare receipt proving she was somewhere else when she supposedly "exited the Capitol."
A confidential source had already given the FBI a photograph proving mistaken identity more than a month earlier.
The FBI closed the case in June 2023.
No apology.
No accountability.
Just 23 months of hell for a kindergarten teacher whose only crime was attending a Trump rally.
FBI Director Kash Patel Calls Out Biden's Political Witch Hunt
Paul's investigation uncovered Crowder's nightmare as part of a broader probe into Biden's weaponization of federal watchlists.
The case surfaced during his investigation of the now-terminated Quiet Skies Program.
That TSA surveillance program burned through $200 million in taxpayer money every year and never stopped a single terrorist attack.
But it monitored plenty of Biden's political enemies.
Tulsi Gabbard got tracked on at least five flights in 2024 after criticizing Joe Biden.
Three Republican members of Congress were placed under surveillance.
At least two dozen Americans ended up on watchlists for protesting mask mandates.
FBI Director Kash Patel called the Crowder case everything wrong with federal law enforcement after January 6.
"When a Catholic kindergarten teacher from Texas can be surveilled for more than two years simply for being in Washington, D.C., without entering the Capitol, without committing a crime, we have crossed from legitimate investigation into political overreach," Patel said.
Biden's FBI Waged War on Traditional Catholics
Crowder's persecution fits a sickening pattern.
A January 2023 memo from the FBI's Richmond Field Office labeled "radical traditionalist Catholics" as potential domestic violent extremists.
The memo relied on the radical Southern Poverty Law Center — the same left-wing smear factory that calls half of America hate groups.
FBI agents physically surveilled a Catholic priest and executed search warrants on his Facebook account.
Documents Paul released show the FBI produced at least 13 additional memos using anti-Catholic terminology.
One FBI agent admitted over email that "our overreliance on the SPLC for hate designation is problematic."
Director Christopher Wray testified under oath that the Richmond memo was an isolated incident from one field office.
He lied.
FBI Headquarters knew about the memo before approval and helped draft a public-facing version.
The Louisville Field Office and FBI's London Office coordinated with Richmond on surveillance.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said documents obtained under Director Patel prove "the Biden-Wray FBI was targeting Catholics" on a scale worse than anyone imagined.
The FBI tried violating priest-penitent privilege by claiming a subject hadn't been baptized yet.
Agents believed — without evidence — that regular Catholic churches could funnel people toward violent extremism.
Biden and Wray lied to Congress about targeting Catholics.
Christine Crowder went to Washington, D.C. to support President Trump at a peaceful rally.
A so-called friend betrayed her with an anonymous phone call.
Biden's FBI branded this kindergarten teacher a terrorist and made her life hell for 23 months while agents knew they had the wrong person.
That's not law enforcement.
That's tyranny.
