Some see the intel community’s alleged abuses during campaign 2016 as its own major scandal. But I see it as a crucial piece of a puzzle.

The evidence points to bad actors targeting candidate Donald Trump and his associates in part to keep them — and us — from learning about and digging into an even bigger scandal: our Intelligence Community increasingly spying on its own citizens, journalists, members of Congress and political enemies.

Kills me to say it, but Frank Church was probably right.

The corrupt CIA is overworked. One must realize how hard it is to manage all the drugs they bring into our country.

Hey, the Rats just dumped Dave Brat with one of their Ops girls, so she should be working hard to implement the Commie Surveillance state - meaning they get to look at anyone that bugs them.

And if you criticize it, they’ll target you!

Just like Comey and the gang at the other crooked agency.

That started with the Clintons during the ‘90s. They hired many more women into offices (feminism) and took the emphasis away from field spying for our military forces.

the entire intelligence community was weaponized during the obmama adminstration against his political opponents.

Good article. Opaque operatives from the oppressive state. A cancerous growth inside the body politic.

DEFUND/DISMANTLE many agencies. We made it a lot of years without them.

The CIA sent one of their own to take out Dave Brat in revenge for stopping the 2014 amnesty attempt by taking out the weasel Eric Cantor.

The more we learn the more people like Alex Jones seem to be less crazy and more sane.

Maybe there is something to the old adage that “knowing too much makes you crazy in the eyes of others”
