Adam Schiff wants to treat protests like terrorism; it's a terrible idea

Former FBI anti-terrorism specialist Michael German is right in that a bill giving more discretion to the attorney general is not a necessary arrow in the anti-terrorism quiver.

Writing in The Hill, German took to task House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff of California, for introducing a bill that would give the attorney general discretionary authority to bring “domestic terrorism” charges against people for what German calls “conduct as inconsequential as mere threats and vandalism.”
