As the Vice Chair of the Oversight subcommittee who ran investigations into domestic terror laws, I respectfully disagree. Our problems on Wednesday weren’t that there weren’t enough laws, resources, or intelligence. We had them, & they were not used. It’s time to find out why.https://twitter.com/NormOrnstein/status/1347969828854910979 …

It is, however, true that there may not be an appropriate statute under which to charge domestic terrorism - the FBI has complained about it quite a bit when they've talked about how difficult it's been to deal with the right-wing radicalism at home.

If they got Capone for tax evasion I’m sure if they really wanted to they could get these assholes. The problem isn’t a lack of statutes, it’s a lack of will when it comes to enforcing the law against white supremacists (not least of which is because many are also cops/FBI).

My concern is that if they're not actually able to charge people with terrorism unless they're linked to a foreign terrorist organization, that's a loophole/issue that should be addressed.

(At one point it was a problem. If it's been addressed, I'm happy to shut up about it).

This is a dense, but good read on why we don’t need a statute. Basically, it hasn’t been addressed, but can easily be addressed without resorting to a domestic terrorism statute, in that there are plenty of other crimes these people can be charged with. https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1283&context=nulr_online …

Personally, I think a combination of tying them to foreign actors and utilizing our allies to define which of our domestic groups meet a terrorism criteria is probably the best way to go.
