FBI’s response to DOJ’s school board whistleblower confirms ‘threat tag’, helps make critics’ case
< < Go Back
The FBI has responded to a Justice Department whistleblower coming forward, who claimed the agency created a “threat tag’ to potentially track perceptively unruly or critical parents at school board meetings — and the bureau did not help its case, the panel on “The Five” discussed.
On Tuesday an FBI spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation that “a tag is merely a statistical tool to track information for review and reporting,” and that the “creation of a threat tag in no way changes the long-standing requirements for opening an investigation, nor does it represent a shift in how the FBI prioritizes threats.”
“The FBI has used tags to track everything from drug trafficking to human trafficking,” the response concluded.
