Angelo Codevilla has written a very good but very long and comprehensive article at American Mind on the process of reforming Law and Intelligence. Those of us that frequent a certain “Trump fan site” knew it was coming.
The title puts it succinctly: Abolish CIA & FISA
However nothing is so simple.
Note this is a long read. You’ll need a full pot of coffee.
Just so you know where Codavila is coming from here is a quote relating to Afghanistan that caught my eye.
“No amount of Intelligence could help distinguish between friendly Youssef and unfriendly Ahmed, never mind turn the latter into the former.”
Angelo Codevilla lecturing at the National Intelligence University.
Defence, DOJ and the Intelligence committees in Congress must step up to make it work.
While Codevilla does not say it, Hundreds in the DOJ have reportedly threatened to resign if Trump prosecutes foes or pardons friends.
Trump and MAGA are saying “Yes Please.”
Its taken a long time to get to the point where the good cops would not be coned into going along with the bad cops in such political threats. The sides and battle lines are now clearly defined.
There is no rush. Tyranny is fast and messy. Justice is slow and careful.
