DHS, and every single law enforcement agency, already has legal counsel that perform this exact job, i.e. ensuring that the agency's actions are consistent with the law. A new board is not required to fulfill this role.
And you're finally starting to get it. Remember, what is useable now is useable by the next administration and the one after that, and the one after that, and so on. If you can think of a single administration that would cause you to be concerned about such a "board" then you've already acknowledged how bad an idea it was to form them in the first place. Unless you don't mind the idea of Trump being able to determine what is true and false as an official government position. Or maybe Nixon declaring the Woodward and Bernstein story to be "officially false." Yup, no potential for severe abuse here at all.
And we are right back to my belief that America has more good people than bad and our government should be a trustworthy source.
