    There must be checks and balances, but over-restrictions can hurt national security.

        yes, its not the National Security to be worried about, its the rouge Agents who abuse these programs using National Security as their excuse.

        If a Republican Admin had done these things, it would already be in jail, so the problem isn't that there aren't checks and balances in place, but rather, there's a failure of ethics and will to enforce them.

        Our checks & balances work, but with the democrats holding both the House & Senate the last 2 years of Bush's term, and 6 of obamas term, plus controlling the rinos for the last 2 years of obamas term they managed to undermine those checks & balances with corrupt people like them

        Until agents (or admin officials) are charged and jailed for abuse of 'checks and balances' these abuses will contine

        Checks and balances don't work so well when seditious and morally bankrupt "leaders" work to undermine our Constitution without Congressional oversight.

        They failed because people abused their power and those who are supposed to provide oversight, investigate and prosecute failed to be objective in the exercise of those responsibilities (or lack thereof)

        Per usual, it boils down to the capability and honesty of the people running the program. Any system can be corrupted, as evidenced by recent events.

        Surely more a case of protocols being blatantly breached, seemingly with imprimatur of nation’s chief and by which no checks and balances could practically withstand.

        the last admin was "banana republic" gone wild. That's why we have the deep state issues we see now...
