Whether you agree that President Biden’s presidency has been a national security crisis—from the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan to the invasion on the border—there is a critical crisis of the truth. Everyone from the media to government officials to political pundits shares in the blame. In this rare moment of catastrophic disaster, marked by the assassination attempt on President Trump, comes a unique opportunity for unity. This unity can only be achieved through the truth. How do we obtain it?
The FBI’s credibility crisis is of its own making. From unlawful surveillance of President Trump to the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop, they have excelled in the weaponization of law enforcement. The public outcry to distrust the FBI in this investigation is not only warranted but essential. We must overcome their obstruction, which they have codified against oversight.
Enter Congress
Having run the most consequential constitutional oversight investigation in modern history, perhaps the following playbook can be utilized. First, a two-fold witness list of government employees and private citizens must be assembled. This must include every single person in leadership positions at the Secret Service, DHS (as the Secret Service is a component therein), FBI, DOJ, and the White House. This includes both a retroactive review (why did the Secret Service deny repeated requests from Trump’s detail for increased protection packages) and a prospective one (what were their actions since). However, sworn testimony only serves as window dressing for meaningless headlines unless the underlying documents are obtained.
Obtaining the Truth
Identifying the specific divisions within these government agencies charged with any aspect of the security posture must be done with immediate haste. They must not be allowed to redact away their corruption, as has been their habit for far too long. Meaningful questioning cannot be conducted without all emails, memorandums, text messages, and phone logs. Furthermore, the classification system cannot be used as a shield to hide the truth from the American people.
