I've been scraping hard to find something positive from this administration. Anything about intelligence services "sharing less information" is likely to be one.
This is tied to US IC's long history of (near exclusively) surveilling people not suspected of a crime and rarely (if ever) telling a public truth about it.

It is true that IC and LEO are distinct groups and ought to be considered that way. Regarding surveillance and specifically the points I raised, I belive the similarities (of LEO and IC) matter more than their differences. Here we can consider them in the same light. By way of example: While the FBI utilizes IC collected data, they also run their own surveillance units - which present the same issues raised by IC collections. The vast majority of individuals who appear in FBI data are not suspected of a crime and the FBI rarely (if ever) tells meaningful public truths about their collections.
