Why This Matters
Your National Security:
When presidents ignore their own intelligence agencies, they repeat the Iraq WMD disaster that cost 4,500 American lives—your family members serve in wars based on political preferences rather than facts
Your Democratic Oversight:
Intelligence agencies exist to provide objective analysis to Congress and citizens—when presidents reject intelligence, your elected representatives lose access to truth needed for informed decision-making
Your Information Quality:
Gabbard's agency spent $84 billion analyzing Iran's nuclear program—when presidents substitute foreign government claims for American intelligence, your tax-funded analysis becomes worthless
Foreign Influence:
Trump aligned with Netanyahu's assessment over U.S. intelligence—this pattern shows how foreign leaders can manipulate American policy by flattering presidents who distrust their own agencies
Executive Branch Integrity:
Public contradictions between presidents and intelligence directors destroy institutional credibility—when Americans can't trust government experts, democracy cannot function effectively
