it s a dramatic change for how people are investigated, based on group affiliation and their connections. think of al qaeda. if someone were to say i am inspired by osama bin laden, that becomes an al qaeda-inspired case, attached to a case at the federal level and the entire intelligence agency all work together and put those pieces together. it allows to you start to move, like ken was talking about, on things like material support to al qaeda or material support to terrorism. that leaves the fbi very flat-footed and puts the fbi and dhs, which we saw in the january 6 report last week and in this strategy in a weird place where they re not sure what publicly available information they re allowed to look at, what social media streams they are allowed to investigate because they haven t opened a case. there s not a case open which allows them to preemptively investigate.
