.MaddowBlog: New reporting suggests Team Trump directed the DHS's intelligence officials to pursue partisan election conspiracy theories.
In theory, the DHS office, part of the nation’s larger intelligence community, focuses on providing officials with information about domestic security threats. In practice, at least during Donald Trump’s presidency, it was reportedly asked to tackle other kinds of tasks.
In fact, DHS intelligence officials were directed to look into, among other things, “attempts to alter, destroy, sell, or hide mail-in ballots,” instead of doing actual work.Why does this matter two years later? In part because it offers fresh evidence of Team Trump’s willingness to corrupt federal agencies. The Department of Homeland Security and its intelligence office are not partisan pawns to be moved around during an election season.
