In an interview on Tuesday with The Daily Signal, Johnson specifically addressed the Justice Department’s interest in pro-life Americans and people of faith in light of revelations that the FBI was investigation of traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists and targeted by the DOJ pro-life activists like Mark Houck through the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
The speaker, who has served on the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and the Judiciary Committee, reminded The Daily Signal that “we have jurisdiction over many of these areas of concern.”
“I made it very clear that, in my view, the evidence shows that, the FBI, for example, in the last two years has been weaponized.”
“We have the evidence to show it,” he said. “They have, in some cases, targeted people of faith. They’ve targeted conservative Catholics and concerned parents at school board meetings and everything else. The evidence is very clear that that happened. ”
Johnson promised to hold those responsible for them accountable actions.
“We need to make sure the FBI is a trusted institution,” he said. “And so far, no, by a large number of Americans because of this evidence that they’ve seen.”
We owe it to the people to have accountable federal agencies that work for them, that serve and protect them, and that don’t label or target them unfairly. And we had more of the latter and less of the former. We need to go back to what these agencies were designed to do.
