Stop weaponizing intelligence for partisan purposes
For patriotic national security professionals, what has happened lately to some of our most important frontline agencies has been traumatic and demoralizing. For most other Americans, it has been bewildering and probably not a little frightening.
Specifically, we all have witnessed not just the politicization of institutions like the FBI, the intelligence community and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, Court. They have actually been weaponized to serve deeply partisan purposes.
The response of some serving and former members of the U.S. intelligence community to the shocking revelations from Hunter Biden’s laptop is a case in point. Notably, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and fifty past intel officers assert that there’s nothing to see here folks but Russian disinformation.
There are evidently no grounds for that claim – other than to misdirect the public and help a Democratic presidential candidacy, again.
