On Friday's broadcast of HBO's "Real Time," former Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), who is a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Advisory Council, said that she doesn't understand why the agency is creating the Disinformation Governance Board and that she wasn't consulted on the idea. Harman also stated that while an agency with a narrow scope would be fine, "something very broad-scale that could become something" similar to the House Un-American Activities Committee, "would be highly unfortunate," but she doesn't think the board will turn into that.
