Whistle-Blower Says D.H.S. Downplayed Threats From Russia and White Supremacists

Top officials with the Department of Homeland Security directed agency analysts to downplay the threat of violent white supremacy and of Russian election interference, according to a whistle-blower complaint filed by a top intelligence official with the department.

Brian Murphy, the former head of the intelligence branch of the Homeland Security Department, said in a whistle-blower complaint filed on Tuesday that he was directed by Chad F. Wolf, the acting secretary of the department, to stop producing assessments on Russian interference. The department’s second highest ranked official, Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, also ordered him to modify intelligence assessments to make the threat of white supremacy “appear less severe” and include information on violent “left-wing” groups, according to the complaint, which was released Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee.

That's what happens when you have a president who wants official reports to match his campaign rhetoric. For all we know, there could be white supremacists dressing up as antifa.

Until they're arrested and prosecuted, there's no way to know for sure, eh?

Perhaps. What would stop them from saying they're with BLM?

What's to stop anybody from identifying as BLM?

Otoh, I would imagine most BLM members don't stash copies of Mine Kampf in their bedrooms. If they're arrested, I assume a police investigation will uncover little details like that and then they can lock the perps up. I don't think many people would be upset if they were to lose the key.
