That\u2019s a Terrible Idea."},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>Last week, when President Donald Trump was about to nominate Bill Pulte, the head of his housing-finance authority, to be director of national intelligence, some Republican senators proposed abolishing the DNI office rather than vote down such a clearly unqualified candidate and thereby arouse Trump\u2019s vindictiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=201\">It\u2019s My Favorite Sport. It\u2019s Trump\u2019s Too. But It\u2019s Not As MAGA As He\u2019d Have you Believe.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Many were relieved when Trump withdrew Pulte\u2019s name and instead nominated Jay Clayton, a former SEC commissioner who is now the U.S. prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. Clayton may be in some respects a more serious choice, but the law creating the office back in 2004 required that the director have \u201cextensive national security expertise\u201d\u2014something Clayton lacks as well. And so, some still mull just scuttling the agency.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a good idea? The office was created in the wake of the 9\/11 attack, when a commission concluded that the terrorists succeeded in part because U.S. intelligence agencies weren\u2019t communicating with one another and thus couldn\u2019t \u201cconnect the dots\u201d that would have allowed them to see a complete picture of al-Qaida\u2019s plot. The DNI\u2019s office, or ODNI, would coordinate the agencies\u2014all 18 of them\u2014to avoid similar mistakes in the future.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>How\u2019s that worked out the past 22 years? Has the office served its purpose, or has it lingered one bureaucracy layered on top of a bunch of other bureaucracies, as some critics foresaw? What would happen if ODNI were abolished and the CIA once again become, as its initials indicate, the <em>Central<\/em> Intelligence Agency?<\/p>\n<p>I have followed the agency and talked with some of its directors and analysts ever since it was created. In the past week, I\u2019ve interviewed (on a background basis) some of its former senior officials from Democratic and Republican administrations, as well as some close observers. And I\u2019ve concluded that, while far from perfect, ODNI has performed its tasks well and that abolishing it would be a serious mistake.<\/p>\n<p>First, without the DNI, the intel agencies would once again be unable to \u201cconnect the dots\u201d\u2014which, as one former senior official told me, \u201cis even more important now than it was on 9\/11,\u201d given the added complexities brought on by globalization since then. The CIA can\u2019t do it; in fact, the CIA never wanted to share its intel. Nor would anyone have the authority to demand that, for instance, the FBI share information with the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the agencies on their own tend to collect intelligence that addresses their own needs. Nine of these agencies are within the Defense Department, so they focus mainly on the tactical needs of warfighters, not on broad national interests.<\/p>\n<p>Third, to the extent intel agencies do focus on similar issues, they sometimes disagree, and the DNI is seen\u2014at least theoretically\u2014as an \u201chonest broker\u201d that can pull together the conflicting views and explain where and why they differ. Having all this information in one place is especially vital for Cabinet secretaries and White House aides who make decisions on the National Security Council. (At least this has been true in administrations that value intelligence information.)<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fourth, the DNI can set common standards for intelligence collection and analysis. For example, in the old days, the National Security Agency (which intercepts foreign communications) refused to share some data with the CIA and other agencies because the special rooms where they stored highly classified materials didn\u2019t meet the NSA\u2019s standards for shielding from electronic penetration. Early on, the DNI assembled technicians from all the agencies to set common standards.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, the DNI can set priorities for technical innovations that the other agencies can\u2019t do on their own, at least not without creating a dozen or more different approaches, spawning duplication, unfilled gaps, or both. The DNI has been doing this with the merging of intelligence assets with A.I., according to knowledgeable sources.<\/p>\n<p>If ODNI didn\u2019t exist, other agencies could theoretically take up the slack. For instance, in 2008, his final year in office, President George W. Bush issued an order giving ODNI the job of assembling the President\u2019s Daily Brief. The CIA had done this job in the past and could resume doing it if ODNI were abolished. But it wouldn\u2019t have\u2014or perhaps even seek\u2014the same access to <em>all-agency<\/em> intelligence, and it would tend to value its own analyses over those of competing agencies. (In fact, Bush gave ODNI this job because the CIA\u2019s daily briefs on the Iraq war were so clearly designed to reinforce his own prejudices and thus polish the CIA\u2019s image in his eyes.) Bush also made ODNI the liaison with foreign intelligence agencies. Again, the CIA could resume doing this, but it tends to focus more on operations these days\u2014and foreign governments might view its briefings as tilted or part of a propaganda effort. In the fall of 2001, when the CIA, NSA, and defense intelligence agencies all agreed that Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine, President Joe Biden sent his DNI to brief the allies. Some believed the briefing, some didn\u2019t, but they all saw the data and the reasoning behind the analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Some of ODNI\u2019s critics, notably Tom Cotton, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, charge that the office often pursues its own agendas rather than simply coordinating the views of the other agencies and that, as a result, it\u2019s become bloated.<\/p>\n<p>Defenders, including some former officials, agree that, over the years, ODNI has taken the initiative on some issues rather than simply coordinate, but this is usually because it\u2019s been handed missions that the other agencies don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=199\">How America 250 Became Trump 80<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, it is not true that ODNI is bloated. Its precise number of employees is classified (for reasons nobody understands), but I\u2019m told by two former officials, who still have inside contacts, that the number is around 1,500\u2014and that, in the year-and-a-half since Trump\u2019s return to the White House, the number has been slashed to about 800.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, many ODNI officials have been on loan from other intel agencies\u2014a good idea, as the officials return to their agencies with a broader perspective. (The NSC works the same way, with officials cycled in from State, Defense, and other departments.) Trump and his current DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, who recently announced her resignation to spend more time with her ailing husband, ended this practice, and the empty slots weren\u2019t filled. Many other officials quit, or were fired, and their desks remained empty as well.<\/p>\n<p>Even agency defenders acknowledge that some branches of the agency probably grew too large. For instance, until recently, the National Counterterrorism Center, which was formed at the height of the global war on terror, made up about 40 percent of the ODNI staff. But now, only three of its 15 <em>senior<\/em> officials remain\u2014and that\u2019s probably too few.<\/p>\n<p>In some respects, the post-9\/11 reforms didn\u2019t make ODNI strong enough. Back in 1992, almost a decade before the twin towers attack, the House Armed Services Committee and Senate Intelligence Committee passed a bill creating a supra-agency with the power to set programs, personnel, and budgets for the entire intelligence community. Dick Cheney, who was President George H.W. Bush\u2019s secretary of defense at the time, wrote the two chairmen letters (which were later made public), protesting that the \u201cseverely flawed\u201d change would drastically reduce his authority and undermine the long-standing arrangements between the Pentagon and the CIA. At the time, DOD controlled about 80 percent of the intelligence community\u2019s budget, all of it highly classified, amounting to an estimated $30 billion. The chairmen agreed and backed off.<\/p>\n<p>If Cheney hadn\u2019t protested, or if the two chairmen had held their ground, it\u2019s possible that 9\/11 would not have happened\u2014though it\u2019s equally possible that civil war would have broken out inside the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, when 9\/11 did happen, Cheney was vice president to Bush\u2019s son, George W.\u2014which may explain why the DNI, as actually created, was less powerful than the \u201cintelligence czar\u201d that a reform commission proposed. (Bush Jr. asked Robert Gates, who had been his father\u2019s CIA director, to become the DNI. When Gates realized that the job would give him no authority to hire, fire, or set budgets, he turned the offer down. He later became defense secretary.)<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, ODNI has assumed responsibilities\u2014and, in effect, powers\u2014that were taken on less by statute than by default. This is why the original law required the DNI to have \u201cextensive national security experience.\u201d (There is no such requirement for secretary of state or defense or any other Cabinet position.)\u00a0It takes extensive experience for the director of national intelligence to detect the gaps and opportunities in the surrounding intelligence bureaucracy and to figure out what he or she needs to do.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Pulte would have had no idea what to do\u2014and no time to figure things out, as Trump planned to keep him on as housing finance director as well. Trump is among the Republicans who endorse downsizing or eliminating ODNI, and Pulte would have made an all-too-ideal executioner, to the point where even Republicans pushed back, in part because Senate Democrats said they wouldn\u2019t extend a surveillance law, which was about to expire, if Pulte were confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, Congress went on recess before extending the law, which has now expired. (Loopholes, however, allow it to stay in force for a while longer.) Meanwhile, Pulte will still step in as <em>acting<\/em> DNI on Friday, when Gabbard steps down. (He is allowed to do this because the Senate confirmed him for the housing job that he currently has.)<\/p>\n<p>Democrats virulently opposed Pulte as the DNI not only because he was manifestly unqualified for the job, but also because he has been one of Trump\u2019s more notorious hatchet men in his housing job (he played a role in the indictment of Trump critics for allegedly violating mortgage laws\u2014indictments that grand juries rejected), and they feared he would use surveillance laws to go after Trump\u2019s critics as well.<\/p>\n<p>Though Jay Clayton is a more polished figure, a well-heeled corporate lawyer, he too has sometimes kowtowed to Trump in his current job as Manhattan prosecutor\u2014and, in any case, he has no more national-security expertise than Pulte.<\/p>\n<p>ODNI is only as able as the people who work there and only as powerful as the president wants it to be. By those measures, even if it\u2019s not abolished, it is on the decline\u2014and so is the U.S. intelligence community as a <span>consequence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=197\">Our Most MAGA Court Created Another Mess for SCOTUS to Clean Up<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s at stake in the fight over Tulsi Gabbard&#8217;s replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[10,127,157],"class_list":["post-203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-war-stories","tag-donald-trump","tag-national-security","tag-tulsi-gabbard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Republicans Would Rather Get Rid of This Agency Than Upset Trump.
