Of course here come the articles undermining the intelligence community, right in the wake of the Chinese balloon incursions and continued Chinese/Russian foreign intelligence efforts, and at its core are republicans. As usual these articles pertaining to the IC massively misunderstand, misrepresent, and downright act against the interests of the United States by so feverently spurring on the de-fanging of intelligence capabilities.
Why would they undermine themselves? These News Companies have _Expert_ IC individuals on payroll. If these articles had teeth wouldn't the embedded pro IC assets stop the undermining or would these individuals not be asked for their "opinion" on the articles prepublication?
Oh please, here come the green text usernames coming in to defend the greatest threat to civil liberties the world has ever known. The "interests of the Untied States" is not the same is the interests of its people or the people of earth. It really just the interests of the military, industrial, academic complex that is raping and killing the planet.
I'm not sure what's worse, the intelligence agencies brazenly breaking the law and violating the Constitutional rights of US citizens on a daily basis or those who crawl out of the gutter to defend these abuses.
The FBI is already profoundly ineffective. I'd be good with empowering it further it as long as there is bipartisan congressional oversight, same with our police in general.
I am not trying to be flippant, but this is a profoundly naive comment you have made.
The FBI, CIA, NSA is filled to the brim with assholes. Who then blackmail and fund assholes that are meant to oversee them, but don't. Instead they enable the perverse sense of 'justice' we see in this world.
I am not some exterminist-minded person, but there is no denying the fact that FN psychos fill these orgs.

Ill give you an example from ~2005 or such, I think...
RSA conference in San Francisco.
I met the head of cyber security for the US... him and his team. They invited me to dinner as I worked for Lockheed.
There was a guy sitting at the table, maybe ~24-ish, super black bags under his eyes.. (meaning he didnt sleep much) and he was bragging the entire dinner about their red/blue hacking teams they were doing to hack shit...
Now this was a controlled environ of them plating team agains team to hack/infiltrate(physically -- lock picking etc) eachothers' area to get pay-dirt...
But it was the extreme psycho-pathy that really struck me...
I know that we have the best military there is, but it was truly weird to see the amount of glee that came from one who is empowered by the MIC in this way...
