Newly declassified intelligence reveals that the majority of the reported increase in domestic terrorism cases—used by the Biden administration to justify a broad expansion of federal law enforcement—was largely driven by a single incident: the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The artificial inflation of the domestic terrorism threat was exposed in newly declassified intelligence documents from early 2022, released earlier this year by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Just the News reported.
A “Special Analysis” report, compiled by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies in February 2022, revealed that 61 percent of all FBI domestic terrorism investigations at the time were connected to the January 6 Capitol riot. Additionally, 78 percent of arrests labeled as domestic terrorism-related in 2021 were actually tied to that single event.
