After confirming the authenticity of the document, he told the Guardian in a telephone interview that the FBI’s classification of the Proud Boys as an extremist group was revealed to him in “a briefing we were given by the FBI” on 2 August, at Clark county’s west precinct.
The briefing included agency heads from local law enforcement, and in it the FBI said that they “have been warning [local law enforcement] for a while” about the Proud Boys, “not just in Washington but around the nation”.
The briefing including the Proud Boys was delivered by an FBI analyst, according to information forwarded to the Guardian by McCabe.
It touched on topics including “How the FBI tracks hate/extremist groups”, “Brief history of these groups in the Pacific NW”, “A description of currently active groups with a focus on the Portland/Vancouver area”, and “Current trends or concerns over law enforcement officers/employees involvement with these groups”.

Inside violent anarchist group Antifa
The anti-fascism-or Antifa-movement has been around for a century, but in the wake Donald Trump's election they've recently been garnering more attention. Th...
The FBI defines terrorism as "The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" (28 C.F.R.)"
My bad, not extremist, terrorist. It is mind-boggling to me that someone would have no problem identifying 'Proud Boys' as extremist but somehow give Antifa a pass. I could care a less about their ideology, it's their behavior that worries me. I view white supremacist as trash and every one of them arrested makes our streets safer but using violence as a platform from any group is unacceptable...to me.
I hope we can at least agree on this point.
