FBI documents apparently leaked by a bureau whistleblower suggest that federal law enforcement is treating threats against school board members as potential acts of domestic terrorism. Marc Ruskin, retired FBI agent and author of “The Pretender: My Life Undercover for the FBI,” spoke with The Epoch Times about what the documents mean and why they matter.
Though the FBI whistleblower’s revelations have sparked outrage by parents, civil libertarians, and Republican lawmakers, the documents themselves don’t say much. The whistleblower provided an Oct. 20 email sent by Carlton L. Peeples, who serves in the bureau’s Inspection Division, stating that the Counterterrorism and Criminal Division “created a threat tag, EDUOFFICIALS, to track instances of related threats.”
