A newly obtained letter from House Intelligence Committee members demands answers from the DNI about illegal breaches of the wall guarding against CIA and NSA domestic activity. 
The U.S. security state apparatus regards the agenda of “domestic violent extremists” as “derived from anti-government or anti-authority sentiment." In sum, to DHS, an “extremist” is anyone on left or right who opposes the prevailing ruling class & system for distributing power.
Just as those who questioned the excesses of the first War on Terror were accused of downplaying or sympathizing with those threats, the same tactics are
used now to vilify critics. But the worst civil liberties assaults are from these breaches.
