No, but it was. It may not be anymore, but thats simply because abolishing the FBI and CIA is an idiotic idea. -WAFFLER- Don't give me that BS about there being more oversight now either while they perform warrantless wiretaps and have secret prisons around the world.
It was and you're still misrepresenting the idea. He is not against foreign intelligence gathering. He has made no mention of the DIA despite the fact that it has a much larger budget and conducts far more intelligence operations around the world because not only is its design and organization perfectly constitutional but it's under authority of the department of defense and thus has far more accountability than the CIA.
Abolishing those agencies was not an idiotic idea. They're bad now but they were AWFUL thirty years ago. That very thing about the secret prisons is one of the reasons he wants a change.
Why the hell would anyone think change is a bad thing in this arena?
