@PGEddington Also, they Intel Committees get to compartment in Congress, undercutting Speech and debate, no? -
@emptywheel Yes, but the real compartmentation is in Approps, which gets data HPSCI/SSCI do not (mainly DoD stuff). -
@PGEddington AKA, Barb Mikulski (D-NSA), has the power to ensure her constituent gets what it wants. -
@emptywheel The Cult of the Imperial American National Security State has followers and acolytes everywhere--Congress, press, academia, etc. -
@emptywheel But some are "more equal" than others.
