Renegade Intelligence: Can It Be Reformed? - The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator | USA News and Politics

At last count, there were 18 federal agencies gathering and analyzing intelligence. Sitting atop this massive bureaucracy is another: the Director of National Intelligence, which neither sows nor reaps nor does anything of discernible value. The purpose of all these...

spectator.org

the intelligence community has been “reformed,” usually to meet some political expedient. More importantly, since 9/11 our intelligence community has turned inward. Much of its spying, and its many abuses of power, have been aimed at Americans at home, rather than at our enemies abroad. Then–FBI Director Robert Mueller was responsible for turning the FBI’s counterintelligence directorate against Americans.

The FBI never verified any part of the Steele Dossier, but for more than a year it was regarded as the gospel truth.

During the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the FBI falsified at least four sworn affidavits that asked the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to authorize surveillance against Carter Page, a Trump supporter.

Perhaps the best (worst?) example of politics invading intelligence operations was the October 2020 open letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials (nine of whom remained anonymous and are almost certainly still employed within the intelligence community) who proclaimed — not on the basis of any evidence but only on their collective experience — that the Hunter Biden laptop story published by the New York Post — which quoted several emails taken from the laptop — was nothing more than a Russian disinformation operation.

“Skewing intelligence to fit a political motive should not be acceptable in any form from a Democrat or a Republican. Intelligence is a national security tool that has no place in the political realm. Misuse of such intelligence should have severe and meaningful consequences.”

The 51 intel officers — former and current — who signed the “laptop letter” should each be brought in and required to testify before Congress under oath and asked what knowledge they had before agreeing to sign such a letter.

Wait, I was told by some people here, that voted for biden because of mean tweets,
that there was NOT a deep state group trying to remove President Trump.
This article flies in the face of that fact so it's obviously a lie.

Short of disbanding and starting over how can the FBI recover it's credibility? As time goes by it is looking more like the Stasi than what I think Americans expected.

Everything FBI in dc should be closed and the organization restarted as 5 or more regional offices scattered around the country.

how can the FBI recover it's credibility?

maybe by putting a few people in jail for election interference.

If anything is done to fix anything I will be dumbstruck.

This is pretty outrageous. Even worse that no one seems at all outraged about it.
but don’t worry, the GOP Congress will ask some tough questions and express outrage on tv for us.

And as we've seen with the never-ending Durham Probe, when the low-level wonks do go to trial? It's in DC with a jury full of dem-doners and staffers.

Nothing will happen to anyone involved.

The FBI is a political wing for the Democrat party.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Sounds like the FBI got a better deal for taking over Twitter than Elon did.

 

[BJHay]

There is an outrage a day from our government and people are numb to it.
Nothing is going to happen to anybody over this.
At times it seems like half of Washington is under investigation.

The problem is that people from both parties are so divided they will never become united in the outrage and demand changes.

You are spot on. I have very little respect for either party.

FBI had 80 agents at twitter which was more than twitter had lobbyists in Washington. Folks the British have returned to take our freedoms again. Only this time it’s called our government. Saw Rand Paul going off in the $1.7 trillion spending spree. He said it is an unholy alliance between the GOP and democrats. The democrats want welfare $$$ and the republicans want warfare $$$. So 4000 pages will be passed this Friday with no one able to read the 4000 pages. I saw Mike Braun with Rand also. And don’t forget to fund $$$ to the FBI. As far as credibility for the FBI that was lost forever ago. We sadly need a leader to say…” the British aren’t coming, they are here!!!” Rand said the the worse threat right now is the debt that jeopardizes everything. Spot on. But when is the last Congress or President than ran on that???? Warfare and welfare.

B********! They need to be charged with subversion, tried by a jury of their peers in the middle of the country, and after conviction be offered one of two forms sentencing completion! (rope / wall)

From the beginning the "Intel Officers" letter was utter c***. Obviously nothing less than an attempt to control the election outcome, by persons who in many cases still held government authorizations (security clearances) and therefore acted under the veil of "government authority". Each one violated the 1st Amendment as a representative of the government by any reasonable standard.
