Biden DHS Intel Group Used January 6 and Mar-a-Lago Raid to Justify Expanding Monitoring of Political Dissent

New documents obtained by America First Legal show Biden's DHS intel group used January 6 and the Mar-a-Lago raid to justify expanding surveillance of political dissent: Today, following its victory in disbanding the Department of Homeland Security "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group," America First Legal is releasing the third tranche of the group's internal meeting notes, exclusively obtained from litigation.

January 6 as a catalyst for expanding surveillance: One group member noted that "Prior to January 6th", analysts thought that "It was inappropriate to collect" intelligence on Americans.

The documents indicate that under the Biden Administration, the federal government has used January 6 to justify expanding efforts to collect intelligence on what they deem "DVE" or "Domestic Violent Extremists." As the second installment of the #DeepStateDiaries showed, DVE is the group's term for people who are "Religious," "In the military," or support President Trump.

The Brennan-Clapper-led group discussed "Collection based on sites where they expect to see indicators," suggesting that the federal government sought to monitor sites they viewed as "Domestic extremism threats."

"Notably, one group member asked, "When you are looking at speech online, how do you know if it is serious? Political? Hyperbole?" The Biden Administration's historical approach, as evidenced by these documents and the Department of Justice's sentencing of Douglass Mackey to 7 months in prison for posting memes ahead of the 2016 election, is that speech online should be considered "Serious" only when it comes from conservatives," AFL reported.
