On Thursday, it was reported that this "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group" included James Clapper and John Brennan, who had both foisted the "Russian Agent" hoax on America, and then foisted the "Hunter Biden laptop is disinformation" hoax. The Group intended to recruit domestic spies from the Democrat socialist cadres of public school teachers and Karen leftwing mothers to inform on other parents, and even their own family members, if they expressed dangerous thoughts.
You know, thoughts like "The Constitution did not establish a fourth all-powerful branch of government called 'the intelligence community'" or "civil service bureacrats have no authority to overrule and subvert the will of a democratically-elected president."
Or: "Borders -- we should have them."
Now it turns out they intended to brand Republican-leaning cohors as dangerous terrorists who must be surveilled and entrapped.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advisory board suggested that supporters of former President Donald Trump -- as well as those who served in the military or are religious -- have a greater possibility of posing domestic terrorism risks, according to internal files obtained by America First Legal (AFL).
Named the "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group," the now-disbanded board was created in September 2023 to provide DHS with "expert" analysis on subjects like terrorism and the trafficking of certain controlled substances like fentanyl.
The panel, according to the conservative legal nonprofit's findings, included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, both of whom signed onto an October 2020 letter falsely dismissing Hunter Biden's infamous laptop as Russian disinformation.
The documents revealed that the board suggested "supporters of the former president" accounted for "most of the Domestic Terrorism threat" in the U.S.
"There is a political backdrop to all of this. It seems that most of the Domestic Terrorism threat now comes from supporters of the former president. It is not like you want a political advantage, but people have attacked the government and its institutions for the last six years," meeting notes from the board stated.

Internet "researchers" like Nina Jankowitz and vicious leftwing statists like CIA plant Renee DiResta.
... the board also claimed that specific traits -- like those who served "in the military" or are "religious" -- are "indicators of extremists and terrorism" that the U.S. should be "more worried" about.
"If you ask researchers to dive into indicators of extremists and terrorism, they might indicate being in the military or religious," the board said. "This being identified as an indicator suggests we should be more worried about those. We need the space to talk about it honestly."
Obama forced the "intelligence" services to stop treating Muslim terrorism as a genuine threat and re-direct their efforts at stopping the Patriotic American threat.
The "intelligence" services were only too happy to comply with the new mandate to treat Republicans as insurrectionists and terrorists. As long as they had some threat that would justify their budgets, it didn't matter to them that they would stop focusing on the Islamic terrorism threat to focus on the American non-terrorism non-threat.
The fact that they get to harass and entrap people they hate and rig the elections is just a special bonus.
