Janet looked "soft" on terrorism---but she leaned hard on “rightwing extremism.”

On April 7, DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis sent out an alert to US L/E. It identified “rightwing extremists” as a danger and defined “rightwing extremists” in a footnote.

EXCERPT * (U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

DHS said that the report was not an attempt to squash First Amendment Rights for conservatives----only "hate groups"---- but, there was no attempt to exempt anyone from their broad generalizations.

Janet's report paints EVERY ASPECT OF CONSERVATISM as "suspect."

===============================================

Fox's Judge Andrew Napolitano sounded the alarm----he reported the 12-page DHS document is an "excerpt" from a larger, more comprehensive, attack on "right-wingers."

The "excerpt" DHS sent to L/E was NOT supposed to be seen by the media---- and had specific instructions printed on it cautioning L/E NOT to show it to the media.

Judge Nap said any attempts by the government to "chill" the speech of the citiznery is blatantly unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment.

Judge Nap said we should all be very alarmed.

NOTE: The report was later withdrawn.
