After U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently laid out the Justice Department’s “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” citizens should be alarmed by the constitutionality of the Biden administration’s hunt for loosely defined “domestic terrorists.” The strategy is being utilized as a “political weapon” to silence and “bludgeon” political opponents, according to Nicholas Giordano, a professor of political science and host of The P.A.S. Report.
On Sunday, Giordano joined Steve Malzberg on his Eat the Press weekly commentary show to discuss the release of the Justice Department dossier, as well as the media’s lack of interest in it.
Last month, the Justice Department unveiled a new “national strategy” aimed at fighting domestic terrorism, and A.G. Merrick Garland said its purpose is “to coordinate and provide a principled path for the federal government’s efforts to counter the heightened domestic terrorism threat using all available tools.”
“It is the culmination of an effort undertaken at the president’s direction by federal agencies all across the government,” he added.
Describing his concerns over the recent strategy, Giordano explained the document’s ambiguity was most worrisome.
“This document refers to ideas of anti-government, anti-authority, that they don’t define within the document, but they say that that could be classified as ‘domestic terrorism,’” he said.
“So if you criticize the government, if you criticize government policies, that could be a consideration to be labeled as a ‘domestic terrorist,’” he added, “and it says, ‘anyone that incites domestic terrorism,’ and once again we see there’s no definition towards incitement.”
Addressing recent sentiment depicting the American flag as a hate symbol or how waving one could now be considered “incitement,” the professor warned of the dossier’s use as a “political weapon.”
