The FBI and CIA are currently broken institutions that require significant reform or dismantling to function properly.

“when Cash Patel was was named FBI director, I celebrated because the FBI's broken and it needed to be torn down to its studs. Same with the CIA.”

Intelligence agencies act as an unaccountable shadow government that prioritizes their own influence over the will of the people.

“It's this fourth branch of government that the founders never created. They never designed. There was no intent for and that fourth branch of government is unaccountable.”

Intelligence agencies act to leak investigations to the media in order to humiliate and terrify individuals who challenge the status quo.

“But the main reason they do it is to leak the existence of the investigation such as it is to the media and then humiliate and terrify the subjects of this op and that's of course happened to me repeatedly.”

Certain bad actors within intelligence agencies have weaponized their power to protect themselves and influence policy against the public interest.

“I'm not going to sit around while people who are unnamed Anonymous make decisions that kill people and get away with it”

Ian Carroll claims that intelligence agencies, including the FBI and CIA, are engaging in cover-ups rather than performing legitimate investigations.

Mike Baker asserts that the CIA and other intelligence agencies perform vital national security work and that dismantling them would be detrimental.

“the agency does some tremendous work in in pursuit of protecting National Security interests I believe that and and I believe that most of the people that are involved are Patriots Yeah but I will say if that were to be proven without a doubt because they Declassified that paperwork none of that shi”

Intelligence officials must maintain the courage to speak truth to power, even when it is uncomfortable for their political superiors.

“spies are useless if they're not prepared to speak truth to power.”

The intelligence community must remain independent and committed to speaking truth to power to ensure America remains safe.

“If that truth is being corrupted, America is less safe. And that should not happen. If you were going to tell people one thing that they could do or something they could do to express their concern about this, what would you ask them to do?”
