DHS spokeswoman Sara Kuban said on Tuesday the report was one of an ongoing series of threat assessments aimed at "a greater understanding of violent radicalization in the U.S."A similar assessment of left-wing radicals completed in January was distributed to federal, state and local police agencies at that time.
"These assessments are done all the time, this is nothing unusual," Kuban said.
The problem, though, according to NewsBusters’ analyst Noel Sheppard is that these reports don’t end up in the press within days of their completion – especially when their appearance is closely timed with planned peaceful political activities by folks who share the very characteristics described in the report. And given some of the shoddy data and weak connections in the report, that makes it even more suspicious. So how did this report make its way into the press, and was it a set-up. Seems to me that there is need for some serious investigation.
