Taking a Stab at All Oath Keepers

Foreman is also affiliated with the Oath Keepers, according to Gionet. The Oath Keepers, a group comprised largely of former law enforcement officers and military veterans, often provides security for far-right protesters and at demonstrations in support of Trump. The group has been described as “one of the largest radical anti-government groups” in the country, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks domestic extremists and hate groups.

Nice of "real reporters" James Queally and Matt Pearce to take SPLC at their word for it (because the FBI no longer does), as opposed to, I don't know, doing some "real reporting." You know, maybe asking someone in leadership about that allegation, or asking themselves how a group largely comprised of current and former government employees, who take an oath to the Constitution and exclude from membership any seeking the overthrow of the United States, can be "anti-government."

But then again, that wouldn't advance the narrative, would it?
