The DOJ announced it will appoint a "domestic terrorism counsel" to focus on who the Obama administration and the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center considers "extremists."

"Looking back over the past few years, it is clear that domestic terrorists and homegrown violent extremists remain a real and present danger to the United States," the DOJ's John Carlin said on Wednesday.

But the Justice Dept. and the Department of Homeland Security previously characterized libertarians, conservatives and constitutionalists as militia-inspired "domestic extremists."

"Militia members most commonly associated with third-party political groups," a 2009 Missouri Information Analysis Center report stated. "It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or libertarian material."

"These members are usually supporters of former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr."

Even more concerning, the MIAC report encouraged law enforcement to scrutinize Americans who oppose abortion, illegal immigration and the rapid growth of the government, all of which are views shared by a plurality of Donald Trump supporters.
