The Democrats are really overplaying their hand on this one. They have shown that they have fully politicized our intelligence operations, which could cause severe harm for a very long time.
It has become clear over the past three years that both the Intelligence Communiity and the FBI have and continue to act as Democratic Party operatives and that the agencies operate politically.
Unless these agencies are razed to the ground, eliminated in their entirety, with all staff removed permanently and not allowed to re-enter any federal employment, the United States of America will not survive, except possibly as a totalitarian regime.
Nothing could be clearer. Partisanship is deeply embedded in those agencies. Of that, there can be no question. I would also include the DOJ (fairly obvious, I know) as well as the IRS in that pantheon of partisanship.

You are correct; nothing short of a wholesale restructuring and redefinition of policies, procedures and personal accountability will solve the problem. And I don't see that happening given the state of corruption in our government.
I, too, believe Trump should completely clean house. Seems there are too many in the so called ‘inner circle’ that do not support the President....including so called Republicans.
