The safeguards we put in place, the oversight this body provides, only work if intelligence officers know that they can tell the truth without losing their jobs.
When we start purging agents for doing their jobs, instead of toeing a partisan line, we weaken our defense against everything from violent crime to foreign threats, and that makes us all less safe.
You purge your independent intelligence community and make them loyal not to a constitution but something else.
That kind of honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies, regardless of whether it flatters the White House narrative.
