Summary
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute and former head of the CIA's Russia desk, for a rare insider's look at how the intelligence community actually works… and what needs to change. George explains the real power structure of the IC and why ODNI was created to manage it all. They also get into domestic surveillance and where the legal lines actually are, how congressional oversight has become more kabuki theater than real accountability, what questions new members of the Intel committees should be asking, and how the IC can begin to rebuild trust with the American people. If you work anywhere near these issues, or have a curiosity for how actual deep state mechanics work, this episode is required listening.
