Revealed: FBI investigated civil rights group as 'terrorism' threat and viewed KKK as victims

[jj23]

The FBI opened a “domestic terrorism” investigation into a civil rights group in California, labeling the activists “extremists” after they protested against neo-Nazis in 2016, new documents reveal.

Federal authorities ran a surveillance operation on By Any Means Necessary (Bamn), spying on the leftist group’s movements in an inquiry that came after one of Bamn’s members was stabbed at the white supremacist rally, according to documents obtained by the Guardian. The FBI’s Bamn files reveal:

• The FBI investigated Bamn for potential “conspiracy” against the “rights” of the “Ku Klux Klan” and white supremacists.
  
  
• The FBI considered the KKK as victims and the leftist protesters as potential terror threats, and downplayed the threats of the Klan, writing: “The KKK consisted of members that some perceived to be supportive of a white supremacist agenda.”
  
  
• The FBI’s monitoring included in-person surveillance, and the agency cited Bamn’s advocacy against “rape and sexual assault” and “police brutality” as evidence in the terrorism inquiry.
  

The FBI’s 46-page report on Bamn, obtained by the government transparency non-profit Property of the People through a records request, presented an “astonishing” description of the KKK, said Mike German, a former FBI agent and far-right expert who reviewed the documents for the Guardian.

he has a distrust of the fbi investigating him, not a distrust of the new york office or a distrust of those who are now turning a blind eye to white supremacists.

and the events cited in the article started during the 2016 campaign season (and continued after) when certain agents friendly to the white nationalists cause got a battery put in their back by certain individuals.

When I read the headline I thought this would be some shyt from the 60's, not '16.

Not that it surprises me one bit though, but the past tense use fooled me.
