The FBI is in serious need of reform. Without corroboration, the FBI used the Steele dossier, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as the basis to launch its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia. This week, Congress has the chance to pass the single-largest overhaul to the FBI in nearly 20 years.
The FBI is in serious need of reform. Without corroboration, the FBI used the Steele dossier, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as the basis to launch its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia .
This week, Congress has the chance to pass the single-largest overhaul to the FBI in nearly 20 years. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act , which monitors foreign nationals overseas, is set to expire on April 19. This critical national security tool has allowed the United States to counter our adversaries like China and Russia and thwarted numerous terrorist attacks from ISIS and al Qaeda.
The world has grown more dangerous, and our adversaries more emboldened. On President Biden’s watch, Russia has launched the most violent ground war in Europe since the 1940s; China has rapidly proliferated its nuclear weapons capabilities; Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban; and innocent Israeli men, women, and children have been slaughtered by Hamas, an Iranian proxy and designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Our adversaries – both known and unidentified – regularly probe our government systems for weaknesses, such as our porous land borders and lax cyber defenses. The safety of our country is at stake, and failing to act is not an option. Congress must reauthorize a reformed version of FISA, including Section 702. It will save lives and continue to deal a major blow to those who wish to do America grave harm.
