From the Frontlines: ADL Painstakingly Analyzes Leak of Oath Keepers Members

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. A frontline in the fight against hate is the battle against extremists, such as the Oath Keepers. But, one year ago, those fighting this battle were given a gift. The Oath Keepers data base of 38,000 names was leaked by a group of journalists. Through painstaking analysis, ADL has looked at every one of those 38,000 names and analyzed who they are. Those in positions of power are obviously of greatest concern. That analysis by the ADL's Center on Extremism was just released, and Alex Friedfeld played a lead role. He is an Investigative Researcher in ADL’s Center on Extremism, and he was the guest on today’s show to tell us what he found.
