The Modern Weaponization of National Security System Is The Lasting Legacy of Barack Obama and Eric Holder

To understand the Intelligence Branch, we need to drop the elementary school civics class lessons about three coequal branches of government and replace that outlook with the modern system that created itself.

Yes, the history of the U.S. national security apparatus goes back decades; however, the weaponization of that apparatus, the creation of an apex branch of government, the Intelligence Branch, originated -as we currently feel it- under President Barack Obama.

Obama took the foundational tools created by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and used the intelligence system architecture to create a weapon for use in his fundamental transformation.

COLLAPSED OVERSIGHT - The modern system to 'check' the Executive Branch was the creation of the legislative "Gang of Eight," a legislative oversight mechanism intended to provide a bridge of oversight between the authority of the intelligence community within the Executive Branch.

Former FBI Director James Comey openly admitted to Congress on March 20, 2017, that the FBI, FBI Counterintelligence Division, DOJ and DOJ-National Security Division, together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA, had been conducting independent investigations of Donald Trump for over a year without informing the Go8.

Team Obama carried out a political operation using the intelligence community and the checks-and-balances in the system were intentionally usurped.

Once you accept the digital-era intelligence apparatus of China, Russia, Saudi-Arabia, The United States and Israel, are now the primary national security mechanisms for stabilization of government; then you accept the importance of those intelligence operations.
