Politicized DOJ Seeks Law To Go After “Domestic Terrorists”

But, certainly not Antifa and other Democratic Party voting groups

Domestic Terrorism Law Being Weighed by Justice Department

The Justice Department is “actively considering” whether to seek a new law that would let prosecutors bring specific charges for plotting and carrying out acts of domestic terrorism, a senior department official said.

“One of the things we’re looking at is would we need new authorities,” Brad Wiegmann, deputy assistant attorney general for the department’s national security division, said during a House hearing Thursday.

Wiegmann said the department has been successful using existing laws to fight domestic terrorism, such as bringing charges for offenses involving violations of weapons or explosives laws, hate crimes and arson. He said more than 430 arrests have been made in connection with the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. The attack was carried out by extremist supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

The FBI has warned that domestic violent extremists pose a heightened threat for carrying out attacks in the U.S. in the near future, with white supremacists being the most lethal threat. (snip)

Currently, no U.S. law lets the government designate domestic extremists as terrorists or bring specific charges for domestic terrorism. That contrasts with laws to combat international terrorism, which allow the government to designate groups and bring charges for providing those groups with material support.

It seems oh-so-reasonable, doesn’t it? But, it’s how it’s applied, and how they can go after people who aren’t actually engaged in actions, but, merely for holding the Wrong Views. There are plenty of laws that can be applied, such as RICO. This allows prosecution for Wrongthink. ‘Domestic terrorism’ laws will soon become so broadly defined that merely voicing public opposition to liberal social policies will be seen as a form of ‘domestic terrorism.’ After all, ‘hateful’ words inevitably lead to ‘violence’ and ‘racism,’ according to the ‘woke’ crowd. This is what happens as a result of each new generation of Americans being dumbed-down by public school curriculums.

At least half of the charges against the BLM/Antifa rioters, who engaged in assault, property destruction, looting, attacking police officers, prior restraint against people and drivers, attacks on federal property, and, oh, yeah, attempting to burn down a federal building with people in it, have been dismissed by federal prosecutors. Yet, most of the so-called Jan 6th assault folks simply walked through the halls of Congress, the building that The People own. They weren’t burning it down. They weren’t looting and pillaging. They just scared lawmakers, who should be scared of We The People. The ones who did should be prosecuted.

This new law would give the federal government vast new policing powers, as well as to survey citizens engaged in First Amendment rights. And surely violate the 4th Amendment. Acts of actual, physical, terror are already illegal in every state of the union. An acquaintance of mine went to jail some years ago for “making terroristic threats”. The DOJ is not interested in actual terrorism; what they want is a law with sufficiently nebulous language that anyone who has a dissenting viewpoint from the system’s orthodoxy can be labeled as a “terrorist” and imprisoned. Laws such as this are a hallmark of Authoritarian regimes. They want to eliminate all who oppose Modern Socialism, and is just one more nail leading to, at best, a split of the country, at worse, a new civil war.

    Just a continuation of the corrupt Obama regime’s politicalization of the federal government against their perceived opponents along with a compliant unquestioning media.

    When one large news outlet publishes a false story based on whispers from anonymous security state agents with the CIA or FBI, other news outlets quickly purport that they have “independently confirmed” the false story, in order to bolster its credibility (oh, it must be true since other outlets have also confirmed it).

    That Wiegmann guy that is toeing the newly politicized DOJ ? He has been at the DOJ for decades and had his most appearances on cspan under Trump always about domestic terrorists
    And why is it that Trump supporters dont want to take that “trump vaccine” ????

  4. Professor Hale says:

    Once again, democrats only want laws to go after imaginary enemies. Real ones are too hard or counter revolutionary.

    Not enough air pollution to go after, so go after CO2 instead.
    Going after Islamic terrorists is hard, so go after “militias” and fringe religious groups instead.
    Protecting Pandas in China and Rhinos in Africa is hard, so use endangered species laws to protect microscopic fish instead.
    Too hard to stop “urban” violent crime among “urban” youth so go after rural gun owners instead.
    Antifa and BLM is on their side, so go after “white supremacists” and Trump “insurrectionists” instead.
    Holding black criminals accountable is racist so go after white cops instead.

  5. CC says:

    One man’s “terrorist” is another’s freedom fighter; simply adhering to the framework of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

    Politicians that violate the public trust need to be hanged high.

  6. Axl says:

    Hairy; consider that the deep state lied to Trump about a lot of shit too.

  7. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    We need to be aware of terrorism directed at the US, whether the source is domestic or foreign.

    70% of Republicans actually believe the obvious falsehood that Donald won the election. Commenters here threaten violent rebellion almost daily.

    So yeah, we need to keep an eye on you.

    No doubt DHS/FBI monitor multiple online communication channels looking for right-wing plots against the US. As they should.

    Recall that 14 members of a right-wing paramilitary group, The Wolverine Watchmen, have charged with federal and state crimes for plotting to kidnap, try and likely execute Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer. The FBI discovered the group by monitoring social media. They had other bombings and assassinations on their to-do list as well.

    Court documents released on November 13 alleged that in addition to storming the State Capitol, there were plans of executing hostages and televising them over the course of a week, or locking people inside the building, while the Legislature was in session, and setting it on fire with the intention of leaving no survivors.

    In the opinion of Covians, are “patriots” being attacked for wrong-think or is detailed plotting of a violent crime a crime in itself?

      Yet Rimjob, dipshit that he is, totally ignores the BLM/Antifa terrorists operating out in the open right now.

      Save your bullshit for the unenlightened.

      Wow – 14 whole “white extremists”, versus several thousand BLM/Antifa rioters.

      I know math and reasoning aren’t liberals’ strong points.

      You don’t have to prove it daily.

    Perhaps many people need to have an eye on them from an FBI that is out of control and has become the GESTAPO of HEIR BIDEN.

    ***A juror in the Derek Chauvin murder trial may have jeopardized the guilty verdict by attending the March on Washington last summer but declaring on a juror questionnaire that he didn’t, legal experts say.***

    No way this verdict doesnt get thrown out if we actually had a justice system that worked. However given that the left will kill you if you piss them off or send the Gestapo after you….It’s all good.

    Chauvin….Human Sacrifice to the warring GODS of WOKENESS.

    • Dana says:

      It would be so very great if the Chauvin verdicts were reversed and a new trial demanded. Given that all of the precautions taken did not prevent the seating of at least one known prejudiced juror, and one alternate juror who stated that they all knew that if they didn’t deliver the ‘right’ verdicts, there would be riots and their own safety possibly jeopardized, it is clearly reasonable to state that no impartial jury could be seated for a retrial.

    “Commenters here threaten violent rebellion almost daily.” The very fact that a person like you would be able to cause the DOJ to arrest me or drowningpuppies or even Teach is why they should never have that power. I don’t recall anyone here seriously “threaten violent rebellion” however I do recall YOU calling protesters at the Capitol “insurrectionists”. You would have us all arrested. Admit it. Why? Because we believe in the Constitution, the Bible and the basic goodness of America and you hate America, Christians and think all White people are racists.

    Your imaginary White supremacists, theocratic Evangelical Christians, Zionist Jews and just plain old Trump supporters should be spied on? That’s your new America Built Back Better? A virtual gulag?

    Every opinion other than yours is an Insurrection, every idea a violent rebellion, every question a hate crime and every refusal to bow at the feet of POC White supremacy.

    Xiden is an evil dummy. Always has been. Xiden will say anything he thinks will make him money, whether he steals the words from someone else or someone else puts them in his mouth.

    Having an evil dummy put in the White House by blatant voter fraud is America’s darkest hour, a reflection on the pathetic malaise of millions of American citizens captured by leftist propaganda . Allowing him to remain there and rule by illegal and un-Constitutional executive orders is on the Stupid Party, specifically the Kentucky Turtle and California Kevin.

    The Red commenter’s form of DOJ:

    “The FBI raided an Alaska woman’s home and place of work last week in search of Nancy Pelosi’s stolen laptop. However, the woman says it was a case of mistaken identity.

    If you aren’t familiar with the story, Pelosi’s laptop – which was used “only for presentations” – disappeared from her office during the Capitol riot on January 6. Back in January, a woman was arrested in connection with the laptop, though it has yet to be recovered.”

    Get that? Pelousey’s laptop. BLM burned $2 billion in property and stole an estimated $400 million on looted goods but Nazi Pelousey’s $1200 “presentation” laptop was critical.

    “Marilyn Hueper, owner of Homer Inn & Spa in Homer, Alaska, said federal agents broke down the doors of her home – which doubles as a bed and breakfast – confiscating laptop computers and cell phones.

    What’s worse, they proceeded to handcuff her, her husband and their guests during the raid.

    Hueper said the FBI conducted the search along with a Capitol police officer, and that the agents “forensically audited” her husband’s cell phone. She added that agents claimed no one answered their knocks on the door, but the search party never knocked.

    “I think almost right off the bat, they said, ‘Well you probably know why we’re here,’ or something like that. It’s like, yeah, no, not really. And they said, ‘Well we’re here for Nancy Pelosi’s laptop.’ And I said, ‘Oh,’” Hueper told a local radio station, per the Daily Wire.

    The agents then showed her a photo of a woman who participated in the riot that may be in possession of Pelosi’s laptop. Hueper said the woman looked “remarkably” similar to her, but she told the agents that while she was present at the rally outside the Capitol building, she never went inside.

    “I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. Is that her? That’s clearly not me. Why did you not show me this to start with?’” Hueper said”

    The future under “equity” and “CRT”.

    It’s a shame the FBI, CIA, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft couldn’t put their vast resources together to annihilate child sex trafficking and slavery. Instead they focus on real threats like Trump supporters.

  12. TJ Hessmon says:

    Americans are not familiar with Hegelian doctrine, its prophets and its worshippers. Dialectics are what drive Hegelian’s, regardless of fact or reason. The DOJ only seeks to war in antithesis against Christian caucasians which it deems the enemy of the state.

    This is exactly the path the same Hegelian believers of the 3rd Re..ich took against the Jews in Europe. If they are not stopped they will genocide all Christian Caucasians in America, just as they did the Jews in Europe in the 1930s and 40s

    • Kye says:

      The Red commenter calls TJ Hessmon a White supremacist in 5….4…3….2….

  13. TJ Hessmon says:

    Kye …the terms White and Black used to define peoples epidermis, are terms made using Hegelian dialectics. This is because Hegelian dialectics only work well when they are laid out in opposites.
    Factually not one single living human upon this earth has a white epidermis. There exists varying degrees of people who appear from light pink to darker shades of pink to red. This is due to the makeup and delivery of blood to the cells.

    Second, there is zero objective evidence which indicates cognizant, reason occurs through the human epidermis. Therefore, any assumptions which indicate such to be the case are completely false.
