The Deep State Threat

Meanwhile, the debate continues in Congress over renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

As I just noted, we are facing serious threats. And one of those threats is a Deep State that meddles in our elections and threatens our liberties.

We must demand accountability and transparency. We must be able to trust that our own government is following the law and not turning the powers it has to protect us against us.

Sadly, after what we have witnessed in recent years, that trust is gone.

The 19 House conservatives who objected to the FISA bill should not be attacked by the GOP establishment. We should be demanding to know why more of our elected representatives aren’t insisting on stronger reforms.

Why, when the FBI has spied on parents, conservative churches, and presidential campaigns, are we giving them more power? Some believe FBI Director Wray lied under oath about these abuses and did nothing to discipline those responsible.

The GOP’s knee-jerk reaction to blindly trust the government, which is infested with leftist ideologues, has got to stop! Have they learned nothing from the Russia collusion hoax?

Congressional oversight should not mean rubberstamping whatever a federal agency wants, no matter if it’s the CIA, EPA, FBI, or Pentagon.
