Braun Questions Why DNI Identified 'Abortion-Related Violent Extremists' As Principal Threat, But Not BLM And Antifa
[DAILYCALLER] Republican Indiana Sen. Mike Braun suggested to Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday that a report on domestic violence extremism placed disproportionate interest on the pro-life movement in a "wild attack" that identified "Garland testified before a Senate subcommittee Wednesday where Braun brought up a declassified intelligence report on domestic violence extremism released by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in March. That report, Braun said, identified "To me this seemed like kind of a wild attack on the pro-life community," Braun said. "It did not list groups like BLM and Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... , who have had a clear recent record of "So can you explain what that was about?" Braun asked. "Why there would have been focus on that, and has there been a rash of incidents related to it?" Garland said that the report described leading threats that were racially or ethnically motivated "It seems like there’s a disproportionate interest or emphasis on one category and not the other," Braun said. "It’s going to raise some eyebrows and then also bring into the question of ’is that effort being applied fairly across the board.'" Garland noted that there is also a separate category of anti-government or anti-authority "This would be where some of the anarchists that you were just talking about would fall into that bucket and that’s another area of focus of the FBI  ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...," Garland added.
