The website Just Security, author former CIA operative Douglas Johnson, is very concerned about the House Subcommittee on Federal Government Weaponization. [SEE ARTICLE HERE} The concern is clouded under the auspices of fearing politicization by questioning the intelligence community about weaponized government.
The article is a mainstream bureaucratic outlook where the professional intelligence apparatus views themselves as beyond being accountable to the elected public officials, specifically the House members of the committee. The permanent unelected officials have a self-perception above the reach of the elected officials.
In essence, there is no public accountability model within their view of their operation. There can only be concealment, secret briefings, darkness and ‘trust us’ type reviews of their authorities. It’s quite a remarkable thing to read.
Just Security […] that’s oversight, a bipartisan endeavor conducted in the interest of all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. The oversight structure that came from the Church Committee investigations adopted legal and sensible rules of the road and protections for all stakeholders. Such supervision is conducted in controlled settings, shielded from public exposure, in a way that promotes candor and trust among both the auditors and the audited, facilitating transparency.
Note: How has that worked out for the American people?
[…] Jordan’s committee will not be oversight. Rather, it promises to be the very politicized weapon it claims interest in exposing. The body’s spectacle and powers pose dangerous implications for the ability of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities to effectively conduct their mission.
[…] The greatest danger, though, is the impact on these communities’ protection from political pressure. Professionals dedicated to national service will have to assess the risks of telling it like it is and speaking truth to power. Even those at the bottom of the professional ladder might find themselves having to lawyer...

They offed a president what are they afraid of
Worry not. There will be plenty of harrumphing and general grandstanding, soundbites will be generated, etc., but nobody will be held accountable.
Well I’m worried about them picking and choosing (and offing) our Presidents.
With the virtual roadblocks already placed by the deep state, any investigation will go nowhere.
One aspect of the whitewash will be ‘whistleblowers’ being trotted out on Fox News and other places to help protect the “Deep State” security and intelligence apparatus.
The bigger issues in Washington are Russia and China they want to get us in line for those issues.
So we’re getting a show dismantling the security agencies is not in the cards.
- They were further worried because he threatened to ‘drain’ their ‘swamp’.
- They've been so worried about this that they tried to destroy Trump.
- They know that if the American citizenry find out/realize who they are and what they are doing they will lose power and possibly wind up in jail.
- So they have tried to preempt this by labeling those likely to resist them as subversives and ‘the biggest domestic threat to America’.
- Biden's statements about the government having F16s is indicative of what they think about us.
The Deep State is being uncovered and it’s leaders are afraid they will be charged ... maybe for violating the Constitution at one end or maybe treason at the other end.
JFK, well we all know about that one....
LBJ, one term
Nixon, one and 1/2 terms then adios...
Jerry Ford, the 1970’s Joe Biden..... oh and one term as a thank you for controlling the JFK investigation
Jimmy Carter, one term. Guest no one in DC liked a peanut farmer....
RR, 1st President to serve his whole term In 20 years, even thought he was shot....
Bush Sr, one of the boys... two terms.
Loving Bill, he never found a skirt he would not chase, two terms..
Bush Jr, son of one of the boys... two terms
Barack the Commie, two terms...
Trump, impeached twice, investigated his whole term, his supports investigated his whole term, still under investigation.... man does Trump know how to piss of the swamp!
Then there’s Joe or Barack’s 3rd term. Guess Joe will retire soon, if he knows what’s good for him and his family...
Apparently something strange is going on since JFK, can’t really put my finger on it, but there’s a pattern developing......
They’ve been conducting a revenge campaign against the American people, at O’bammie’s orders, ever since we elected Trump.
bush sr only got 1 term
That right there says it all.
They should name the subcommittee “The SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY Subcommittee” (Ask Chuck Schumer to testify first!)
Its a big problem is when citizens through the elected representatives expose our corruption and demand accountability.
We should be exempt all such inquires and repercussions. Representative government is a threat to democracy.
I don't know what the intel agencies are really worried about. I am sure every committee member is under 24/7 surveillance.
And then the President to shut up about cleaning house in Federal agencies UNTIL HE IS SWORN INTO OFFICE!!!
Otherwise they will have planned to undermine you before you get in the door.
You are correct, guess Sr also got the Jerry Ford thank you gift 😂
Golly, Wally. What makes you say that?
< /SARC>
As well they should be. Need a list of Obamaites that are going to jail.
"The last federal budget that flowed through the traditional budgetary process was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 by George W. Bush. Every budget since then has been a fragmented process of continuing resolutions and individual spending bills.
Why does this matter? Because many people think defunding the Intelligence Community is a solution; it is not…. at least, not yet. Worse yet, the corrupt divisions deep inside the U.S. intelligence system can now fund themselves from multinational private sector partnerships (banks, corporations and foreign entities).
The committee is only a threat to the CIA/FBI if they seek the truth and find it.
