During and after the 2016 presidential election, this balance appears to have broken down. While Democrats accused Republicans of simply trying to divert attention for political purposes,

it is now clear those at the pinnacle of our national security community lost the objectivity they are required by law to exercise.

A necessary component for Americans’ trust in the intelligence community is the perception of fairness, particularly when implementing surveillance of Americans.

Like many Americans, I await I.G.Horowitz’s report on potential FISA abuse during the 2016 presidential election period.

However, it is a fact that multiple individuals at the top of the FBI have been fired, terminated and even referred for and reported to be under criminal investigation.

Oversight and deterrence is clearly needed when top-level officials in our intelligence and law enforcement community are officially criticized — and potentially even indicted — for divulging sensitive information and lying.
