At the very least, for the past few months to a year it has become increasingly evident that – although not all – many agencies of the US Federal government have become increasingly dirty, perverse and corrupt and require a deep and thorough cleaning. The US Secret Service has previously been exposed as "including claims of involvement with prostitutes, leaking sensitive information, publishing pornography, sexual assault, illegal wiretaps, improper use of weapons and drunken behavior" and the IRS was caught and admitted to denying Obama's political enemies (aka "TEA Party, Christians, religious Jews, conservatives) their Constitutional rights while allowing "progressive" groups (aka Liberals, Leftists, Marxists, Maoists, Socialists, Communists) theirs. And – love him, hate him or fall somewhere in-between – Edward Snowden shined a very bright light on the unconstitutional domestic mega-spying of one of these clandestine agencies – the National Security Agency. Thus far, under Obama's increasingly iron rule, few-to-no members of these agencies have even been indicted by Congress for their blatant crimes against the American people.

Issa and Cummings think this is a JOKE.
It is TREASON and has been a coup d’etat enabled
by Issa, Cummings, the docile,hated EXEMPT Congress.
Very interesting interview with solutions presented by “W”. Thanks for posting. HOORAY Sher Zieve!
about 80% of this federal gubmint and their “employees” are worthless leaches and ought be fired and the agencies disbanded
C’mon Dio, you’re not dumb. The entire federal government is complicit in treason. I can count on one hand the number of truly Liberty-minded Americans left in the halls of Congress, and I bet even they could be bought if the price is right.
This is the prolonged establishment of an oligarchy unfolding before our eyes. Average, run of the mill, work-a-day Americans are not going to run for public office, because they can’t compete with the financial leviathan that most entrenched politicians have at their disposal.
America is lost. The only hope remaining is that the states rise up and take it back. If you don’t live in a state that’s mindful of liberty, I’d suggest you move to one tout de suite.
Potentially dangerous populist nutjobs are going to start winning elections, provided they promise to dismantle the NSA.
The NSA has a legitimate function. But like the IRS and other parts of the Obama Administration it has become corrupted and it abuses honest citizens.
The problem is not people who want to “dismantle the NSA”. I have not heard a single person say that. The problem is people who want the government agencies like the NSA, the IRS and others to persecute good people. The problem is the people who want a totalitarian government that lets the bad people do whatever they want and oppresses the honest citizens who make this country work.
Other MAJOR reason to totally eliminate the NSA. I feel the Tea Party might just tackle that task if/when they take the reigns. The rhino’s will do what they have always done and that is to run away.
I agree with you, the NSA has a legitimate function.
But it doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. By the time Snowden is done leaking every politician will be tripping over each other to become the next Frank Church and set fire to it.
“every politician will be tripping over each other to become the next Frank Church and set fire to it.”
We can’t expect the politicians who created the corrupt,dysfunctional government to fix the corrupt,dysfunctional government.
No, we can't. We can count on the corrupt 0bammunists in Congress to dismantle the <legitimate functions of the NSA, CIA, and others ... under the pretext of cleaning up corruption. Jimmy Carter tried his hand at this during his reign ... and crippled the CIA for a couple of decades.
That is what the Obama Administration has been doing since they came into office in 2009.
The rot goes deep enough that the existing agencies will need to be torn down to the foundations and new ones created to carry on the limited legitimate functions.
