It would have been good if someone had questioned our findings of WMD's in Iraq.

It would have been good if someone had questioned our IA's structure of sharing information before 9-11

It would have been good if someone had questioned the running of the FISA court before abuses became a political weapon.

It's hypocritical in fact to claim that you can't doubt our IA's conclusions even slightly, but support a NSA officer who testified against the head of our executive branch about a private conversation, even though he acknowledged it was primarily a policy disagreement.

It's hypocritical and laughable to go woe is us over that the president tweets and their affect at the same time the democrats and media cohorts attack his standing every day and every action.

Our IA aren't James Bond superspies, some may be, mostly they are bureaucrats with a love of country, and all the same passions and fires you and I bring to these discussions. And in this hyper partisan time, brought on since Bush II and exacerbated by Obama, then Trump, by Republicans and Democrats, some in those agencies have let beliefs like those that G1 and you have expressed give them cause to create insurance policies and rigged FISA warrants to tear this president down. You don't think that has an effect on how our adversaries view us?
