Is America's Greatest Global Foe Actually "America's" National Security Faction?
Spoiler: Yes.
John Daniel Davidson for the Federalist:
It was a busy day in Washington on Wednesday as the intelligence bureaucracy tried to foment a national security panic over Russian nukes in space in hopes of ramming through the Ukraine aid package and killing reforms designed to curb its power to spy on Americans.
Lest you think that sounds crazy, consider the timing of the panic provocations, which came almost immediately after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he and other Republicans weren't going to be "rushed" into approving the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine. It also came at the precise moment -- just coincidentally! -- that the House was debating reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, set to expire in April, that would end warrantless surveillance of Americans, which of course the White House and intelligence agencies oppose.
All of it just goes to show that the most serious threat facing America isn't Russian nukes in space or overseas terrorist plots, it's the political class in Washington and our intelligence agencies that think they're above the law.
...
Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a helpful statement clarifying what all this was really about: "The most urgent national security threat facing the American people right now is the possibility that Congress abandons Ukraine and allows Vladimir Putin's Russia to win."
...
It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to figure out what happened here. Our intelligence agencies don't want lawmakers getting in the way of their plans. They don't want any interruption in the flow of U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine, and they don't want any curbs on their ability to spy on Americans.
He also discusses John Brennan's treasonous mobilization of foreign intelligence agencies to spy on the duly-elected president of the United States, in order to justify a coup against him and the electoral decision of the people of the United States.
