Americans for Intelligence Reform

Brad Johnson, President, and retired CIA Senior Officer and Chief of Staff. Insight into current events from an intelligence angle.

AG Barr to deploy Joint Terrorism Task Force against Antifa – OAN

In a demonstration of how FISA is supposed to work, the investigative information on Anti-Fa will come from the intelligence community uncontaminated by politics. Brad Johnson, retired CIA Chief of Station and President of Americans for Intelligence Reform, outlines the power of espionage in collecting information and passing it on to the DOJ quietly and appropriately. Will charges be brought? Jack Posobiec explores the topic with Brad.

00:00
as civil unrest continues to take hold
00:02
of many american cities
00:03
president trump is planning on labeling
00:05
antifa a terrorist organization
00:08
one america’s jack posobik has more from
00:10
washington
00:12
we are very excited to welcome back to
00:14
one america news brad johnson former cia
00:17
station chief and also the president of
00:19
americans for intelligence reform brad
00:21
thanks for being on with us
00:22
jack always great to talk to you now
00:25
brad
00:25
something that we’ve talked about a lot
00:27
in the past is the group
00:29
antifa they’re an extremist group
00:31
they’re anti-government
00:32
revolutionaries now the president is
00:35
designating them
00:36
a domestic terror organization and a.g
00:39
barr
00:39
has announced that the 56 joint
00:42
terrorism task forces are going to be
00:43
working together
00:44
to go after this group here in america
00:46
tell me what does that mean
00:48
and what is the doj able to bring to
00:51
bear in these types of cases
00:53
well and it’s it’s certainly the the
00:55
resources that are going to be commanded
00:57
by doj which in a case like this
01:00
uh will be a lot of the law enforcement
01:02
agencies but certainly preeminent
01:04
among them will be the fbi and the fbi
01:07
has tremendous resources here in the
01:08
united states
01:09
along with a couple of other federal
01:11
agencies that could could easily be
01:13
tapped
01:14
to help work with them and certainly
01:15
it’s going to be one of those cases of
01:17
where
01:17
you follow the money because what we’ve
01:19
seen out of antifa
01:21
is for example there are ads on the
01:24
internet you can go look up right now
01:26
and that’s how to work to become a
01:27
professional
01:28
uh uh protester and wreak havoc out in
01:31
society which is
01:32
exactly what we’re seeing now brad also
01:34
talking about intelligence and the joint
01:36
task forces
01:37
what sort of signed or signals
01:40
intelligence
01:41
capabilities will they be able to bring
01:43
to bear here
01:45
anytime you have communications you have
01:47
weakness
01:48
and let me point out for example that
01:50
was how osama bin laden was eventually
01:52
tracked down
01:53
that’s how a lot of people have been
01:55
eventually tracked down we can go back
01:56
to pablo escobar
01:57
and it was the use of phone and
01:59
communications and
02:01
any sort of electronic version even
02:02
though they’re trying to be very very
02:04
cautious
02:05
has a great a lot of weaknesses built
02:07
into that system
02:08
so if you bring the full bear of the cia
02:10
the nsa and intelligence world to it
02:13
i mean certainly signals intelligence
02:15
and a lot of other things just
02:16
movements of people and airplanes and
02:18
money all of those things are going to
02:20
very quickly be developed and
02:22
uh and really be strong indicators of
02:24
precisely
02:25
who’s up to what and how and who’s
02:27
paying for this destruction
02:29
here in the united states and around the
02:31
world right and
02:32
and brad you know it’s it’s funny you
02:34
know usually here we are criticizing
02:37
the intelligence community or for using
02:39
those capabilities
02:41
against the president of the united
02:42
states or against political adversaries
02:45
but we don’t want to go so far in our
02:47
criticism
02:48
that we overlook the fact of why we have
02:51
those capabilities in the first place
02:54
that’s right and that’s an extremely
02:56
interesting point that you’re making
02:58
and particularly one of the areas where
03:00
we’ve been very critical lately was
03:02
uh over how fisa has been used and
03:05
abused for
03:06
political motives and the political
03:08
corruption that has been
03:09
very apparent and i’ve been one of the
03:11
great critics of of how the fisa system
03:13
has been bastardized for political
03:15
reasons
03:16
however this is one of those cases that
03:18
fisa was actually
03:19
created to handle because as information
03:22
is developed
03:24
on the uh intelligence side this is
03:27
where it gets passed to the law
03:28
enforcement side
03:30
for the antique activities here in the
03:31
united states to go crack down and make
03:34
arrests on these activities
03:35
and so where information is developed by
03:38
intelligence
03:40
you don’t want that to contaminate the
03:42
law enforcement case
03:44
because during the discovery process if
03:46
it goes to trial
03:48
you don’t want them to be able to
03:49
through discovery go all the way back
03:51
into the intelligence realm
03:52
that is precisely why fisa was created
03:56
and that is a perfect example of where
03:58
fisa
03:59
is used correctly to be clear about that
04:03
are you saying that you believe that doj
04:05
and fbi
04:06
will seek fisa warrants against antifa
04:08
leaders
04:11
i would say it’s very possible because
04:13
this is going to be
04:15
the antifa is not going to be able to
04:18
stand up to the scrutiny
04:19
the cia and the nsa are very quickly
04:21
going to develop leads and a lot of
04:23
information a lot of detailed
04:24
information
04:25
on these groups like antivo because when
04:28
they’re being when they’re going up
04:29
against the might of the us
04:30
government they don’t stand a chance
