Commentary: Trump is waging war on our inspectors general. Congress needs to choose a side.
President Donald Trump's purge of our nation's inspectors general is a crisis. It is a crisis that has a direct impact on the health and safety of all Americans, as well as the democratic protections that keep us from slipping into corruption. Alarm bells should be going off everywhere. We learned last week that Trump reportedly plans to install up to seven inspectors general as part of a wider "purge" within the federal government.

FBI director James Comey refuses to discuss possible Trump-Russia investigation because he only does that with Hillary Clinton — Quartz
The author, a lawyer in Washington, D.C., served in the United States Department of State from 2011-2014. FBI director James Comey was criticized last week for refusing to comment publicly, or even in a classified setting, on whether the FBI is investigating Donald Trump’s possible connections to Russia. While we understand that emotions are running high, it is time to reaffirm longstanding bureau policy. The FBI will not comment on ongoing investigations of anyone not named Hillary Clinton.
Trump should remove Comey: Opposing view
FBI policy prohibits actions that could influence elections, even unintentionally. In October, FBI Director James Comey was unexpectedly confronted with more emails that might relate to the closed Hillary Clinton investigation. He was forced to choose between keeping an unwise promise he had made to inform congressional Republicans about the investigation, or preserving the integrity of the electoral process and an apolitical system of justice. This wasn’t a close call.
We can’t trust Trump with today’s NSA.
Maybe a senator’s “private” bedroom pics will be mysteriously leaked. Or Breitbart will start blogging the details of a journalist’s 3 a.m. Uber rides. Or maybe Trump will find creative uses for five years of email correspondence between a civil rights lawyer and her clients. This might sound like a nightmare that could only happen in China or Russia, but there are simply not enough safeguards in place to protect Americans from our own National Security Agency.

Never in human history have people been more connected than they are today â nor have they been more thoroughly monitored. Over the past year, the disclosures spurred by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden have drawn public attention to the stunning surveillance capabilities of the American intelligence community, and the unprecedented volume of data they collect from hundreds of millions of people around the world.
