Biden's FBI Stormtroopers Raid Another Pro-Life Activist In Early-Morning Raid, Assault Weapons At the Ready, In Front of His Young Children
Mia Cathell scooped this last week:
A cadre of armed FBI agents descended on the family home of one of the 11 pro-life activists targeted by President Joe Biden's Justice Department for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic in Tennessee.
The DOJ charged pro-life leader Paul Vaughn with "a civil rights conspiracy" and a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) offense over the activist blockade of a Nashville-area abortion facility in early March 2021. A federal indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that the pro-life defendants "engaged in a conspiracy to prevent the clinic from providing" and patients from receiving abortion services and violated the FACE Act by "using physical obstruction to intimidate and interfere with the clinic's employees and a patient."
If convicted, Vaughn faces up to 11 years in prison, three years supervised release and fines of up to $350,000.
Vaughn, the president of Personhood Tennessee, told FOX Chattanooga at the time that it was "like church service in there" with pro-life protestors "singing hymns, reading scripture, praying," and sitting on the floor in the hallway outside of Carafem Health Center Clinic, an abortion facility located within a medical office building.
...
Vaughn's house underwent an early morning FBI raid at around 7:20 a.m. Wednesday when four FBI agents approached his family home with "guns drawn" in front of his young children and "began banging on his door so hard that it made the old farmhouse shake," a Personhood Alliance press release sent to Townhall says.
Townhall has obtained exclusive footage of the FBI raid on Vaughn's family residence just before school drop-off.
"I want to know why you were banging on my door with a gun," Vaughn's wife says to an FBI agent in the video. "You're not going to tell me anything?" The FBI agent claims: "I tried, ma'am." Vaughn's wife objects, "No, you didn't! You did not try!" She approaches the government vehicle carrying Vaughn in the back seat. "This is not acceptable," she states. Moments later, she asks an FBI agent, who ignores her, for his name. "You're not going to give me your name? You're not going to give me any information?" she questions as they drive away.
I mentioned that Biden is polling at 31% on his handling of abortion -- that means that leftists don't like his handling of abortion, either. They don't like that the Democrats never codified Roe before the Dobbs ruling, and didn't scrap the filibuster and pack the court after it.
But Joe Biden has a "pen and a phone." And to gin up enthusiasm among his pro-abortion zealots, he's decided to Put on the Aviators and commit mass constitutional violations against political protesters not seen in America since the Palmer Raids of the 1920s.
Some Christians are being fed to the lions, to the cheers of the dispirited, discontent, fractious pagans in the Coliseum seats.
What should be the punishments for the "law men" taking part in these unconstitutional raids? Why are no GOP officials announcing, in advance, that FBI agents who take part in these raids will be fired, and that a law will be passed permitting the firing and termination of retirement benefits for any federal agent determined to have engaged in unconstitutional and abusive practices?
And that should include the brass, like Christopher Wray and Lisa Monaco actually authorizing these raids.
And of course the impeachment of the NeverTrump-backed Merrick Garland.
As Tucker points out -- all this splashy action to arrest a protester, and not a single arrest in the case of the Jane's Revenge firebombings of pro-life counseling centers.
