A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ‘Experts Group’ that included deep state ‘laptop letter’ partisans James Clapper and John Brennan, advocated using Jan. 6 and the Mar-a-Lago raid to justify expanding surveillance of political dissent.

This latest bombshell comes from America First Legal, which is suing the Biden DHS along with former acting DNI Richard Grenell over the September 2023 formation of the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” which they have accused of violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act due to lack of balance and transparency.
According to these new documents, one group member noted that “prior to January 6th” (i.e., under the Trump administration), analysts thought that “it was inappropriate to collect” intelligence on Americans.”
After Jan. 6, however, they observed a change in collection and reporting methods.
