Unveiling the Brennan-Clapper Files: How January 6 Shifted Surveillance Powers
America First Legal (AFL) has published another batch of documents (referred to collectively as “Deep State Diaries”) originating from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advisory outfit, Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.
AFL refers to this body as the “Brennan-Clapper committee” since it included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan.
The group has been disbanded, judging by AFL’s press release also thanks to its efforts, and now internal notes from meetings, which the non-profit said it obtained through litigation, have seen the light of day.
These documents focus on the way the Biden administration and its allies handled the events of January 6, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and social platforms for what AFL says is “targeting and surveillance of political dissent.”
The internal notes reveal that January 6 proved useful in expanding surveillance, with one member of the group saying that policies regarding collection and reporting intelligence on Americans changed following the events on that day in Washington.
Notably, this has to do with more surveillance powers regarding what’s known as domestic violent extremism (DVE) – to whatever law enforcement decides to apply this label.
And the way they apply it, according to AFL’s “Deep State Diaries” material, is to persons who are religious, members of the military, or Trump supporters.
It’s easy to see how January 6 might have given momentum to carry out more surveillance of online speech – one of the participants in a conversation revealed in the now-unveiled documents also remarked that the nature of the support for the “mission set” had changed by becoming political.
This is interpreted to mean that January 6 was an excuse to change the scope of the activities of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A, a part of the DHS) – by expanding it.
As for the source of the support mentioned in the exchange, AFL notes that the group was heavily Democrat-leaning (98% of contributions the members – former intelligence community officials – made went to candidates of that party).
An unnamed member of the group at one point made the suggestion that I&A should, post-January 6, adopt practices that “even the FBI says it does not have the authority to do, the Senate has refused to give to any law enforcement agency, and members of Congress generally oppose,” AFL remarked.

Deep State at ‘Political War’ Against MAGA, Alex Jones, Lays Out Steve Bannon in Pre-Prison Interview
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon emphasized Biden’s lawfare targeting popular MAGA-aligned media figures such as himself, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson in an NBC News interview before heading to prison.
Calling NBC a “collaborationist propaganda mechanism,” Bannon pushed back against denials by reporter Vaughn Hillyard that the legacy media and Biden Justice Department have colluded to destroy populist voices.
“You’re putting me in jail in the run-up to… I’m going to prison — on an illegitimate committee. Right?” Bannon told Hillyard. “And you’re saying right now that the lawfare is not working in this country? When they’re trying to liquidate Alex Jones, they’re putting Gateway Pundit into bankruptcy, Epoch Times just got hit with a DOJ… The ‘Steve Bannons’ going to prison. Are you kidding me?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bannon said his four-month prison term in the run-up to the 2024 election symbolized the Biden admin’s ongoing “political war” against its enemies, and also laid out a plan to restore the Republic, adding more people need to stand up and not rely on populist figures like himself, Alex Jones or Trump.
“Our phrase is next man up, right? You can’t depend upon Trump to always be there. You can’t depend on Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, or Steve Bannon. This is a populist movement, and people have to step up,” Bannon said, adding he believes his show “War Room” will only explode in popularity due to his incarceration.
Bannon, AKA federal prisoner 05635509, was joined by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and others at a spirited rally outside the prison in Danbury, Conn., held Monday before he turned himself in.
