Feinstein and Burr have forgotten (or maybe never knew it) that their role in the Intelligence Committee is to act as oversight for the NSA and CIA, not as their PR department. It's as if they think their role in the Intelligence Committee is to do the intelligence agencies' bidding - not the other way around. That's what's insane and what has already gotten too far.
There is no intelligence oversight in the U.S. The intelligence agencies seem to be running the Senate, or at least the Senate Intelligence Committee.
- alsetmusic 11y agoWhen I wrote to Feinstein in the past, I received a form letter telling me that her mind was already made up and that she knew was was in my best interest. She didn't even have the courtesy to lie and say that she would consider my opinion. I'm in her district, and I lost a lot of hope at that moment.
- vamega 11y agoAny chance you'd be willing to post the form reply?
- lern_too_spel 11y agoShe's a senator. She has a state, not a district.
- bdhess 11y agoIn fairness, there are 40 million people in her 'district', so your chances of an individualized reply and/or influencing her opinion on any controversial matter would have to be quite low.
- alsetmusic 11y agoThe point of my comment was not that I received a form letter but that it's tone was condescending.
