Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears

The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.

The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.

[OCS: Let us examine the facts:

One, there was a large MAGA-themed political rally featuring President Trump and, concurrently, a separate group of agitators, including an unknown number of FBI personnel and informants, who were at the forefront of violence at the capitol complex.

Two, it appears that the proximate cause of the riotous behavior was twofold: the refusal of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to plus-up security in response to received intelligence, and two, the actions of embedded agitators with links to radical groups such as Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and others.

Three, considering the lengths at which official Washington has stonewalled any legitimate investigation, it appears that a democrat-manufactured riot was portrayed as an insurrection to advance a progressive communist democrat narrative and agenda.

Four, Considering the malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, and criminal activities of the FBI during Donald Trump’s campaign, his presidency, and beyond, it is hard to believe that the agency and its leadership are credible in its assertions of domestic terrorism. Especially since the agency has a history with real terrorists and failed to take action or has instigated faux-terrorism for a public relations win.]

“Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully,” says the official.

[OCS: The Republicans are not only making the claim but submitting sworn testimony and documentary evidence. Ask yourself why the illegitimate United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol defied their promise to preserve all of its evidence and illegally destroyed records. As did other government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.]

In a statement to Newsweek, the FBI said: “The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly. The FBI’s goal is to detect and stop terrorist attacks, and our focus is on potential criminal violations, violence and threats of violence. Anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism is one category of domestic terrorism, as well as one of the FBI’s top threat priorities.” The FBI further said, “We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person’s political beliefs or affiliations.”

[OCS: Ask yourself why many terrorists seem to have some level of FBI involvement. Perhaps revisit the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents initiated by the FBI.

The statement, “We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person’s political beliefs or affiliations,” is pure bullshit when you consider the FBI’s illegal behavior during the "Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax perpetrated by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic National Committee.

Where was the FBI when Supreme Court Justices were actively confronted at their homes? When radical domestic terrorists attacked federal buildings? Where was the Capitol Police when protesters, not unlike the January 6 lookie-loos taking selfies, invaded the Capitol and occupied several offices? How do parents protesting sexual perversion and pornographic materials at school board meetings rise to the level of domestic terrorists? How do worshipful traditional Catholics merit covert surveillance, including using priests as confidential informants?]

Republicans, on the other hand, see the FBI’s focus on January 6th and the law-breaking associated with it as “weaponization” on the part of the Biden administration, to suppress GOP voters, to stigmatize the right-wing and to transform what they see as principled dissent against societal norms—for example with regard to abortion, about what children are taught in public schools or in rejection of transgender categorizations—as extremism.

The left sees these same numbers as proof that Donald Trump and his supporters are not just dangerous to democracy but also that the government isn’t doing enough.

Experts agree that as the 2024 election approaches, there will be greater pressure to prevent law-breaking, one that necessitates infiltration of political circles and other controversial government activity.

[OCS: Enter the police state with their selective enforcement, brought to you by progressive communist democrats.]

Right after January 6, the FBI co-authored a restricted report ("Domestic Violent Extremists Emboldened in Aftermath of Capitol Breach, Elevated Domestic Terrorism Threat of Violence Likely Amid Political Transitions and Beyond") in which it shifted the definition of AGAAVE ("anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism") from "furtherance of ideological agendas" to "furtherance of political and/or social agendas." For the first time, such groups could be so labeled because of their politics.

It was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau.

[OCS: Absolute proof that the FBI's statement, 'We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person’s political beliefs or affiliations,” is a bald-faced lie!]
