(111,110 posts)C. FBI and DHS Did Not Deem Credible Online Posts Calling for Violence at the Capitol
Of the intelligence products DHS and DOJ provided to the Committees, almost all referenced violent extremists use of online message boards, social media, memes, or hashtags. The majority of these referenced particular threats of violence posted on social media or posts encouraging others to commit violent acts.183
For example, DHSs October 2020 Homeland Threat Assessment noted that violent extremist media almost certainly will spread violent extremist ideologies, especially via social media, that encourage violence and influence action within the United States.184
Further, I&As December 30, 2020 report on the diverse domestic violence extremism landscape stated that the use of social media to make threats of violence upon which [domestic violent extremists] often do not act is a limitation on DHSs ability to detect and disrupt domestic violent extremist plots.185
When asked how I&A did not identify any of the social media posts calling for attacking the Capitol prior to January 6, one DHS I&A official cautioned that social media is nuanced and that it can be difficult to distinguish between mere rhetoric and overt threats.186 Ms.
