hack Gregory just asked Brennan if they're any credible threats for the Superbowl. Now he's discussing sleeper cells and blowing up malls.
If I didn't know better I'd believe that they want an attack.

4. Fear is a GOP tactic, along with hate/racism. They have nothing real to offer anyone

7. you pegged it-
