  • Like It Or Not, Trump Has a Point: FISA Reform and the Appearance of Partisanship in Intelligence Investigations by Stewart Baker1
    Like It or Not, Trump Has a Point: FISA Reform and the Appearance of Partisanship in Intelligence Investigations by Stewart Baker1 To protect the country from existential threats, its intelligence capabilities need to be extraordinary -- and extraordinarily intrusive. The more intrusive they are, the greater the risk they will be abused. So, since the attacks of 9/11, debate over civil liberties has focused almost exclusively on the threat that intelligence abuses pose to the individuals and disfavored minorities. That made sense when our intelligence agencies were focused on terrorism carried out by small groups of individuals. But a look around the world shows that intelligence agencies can be abused in ways that are even more dangerous, not just to individuals but to democracy. Using security agencies to surveil and suppress political opponents is always a temptation for those in power. It is a temptation from which the United States has not escaped. The FBI’s director for life, J. Edgar Hoover, famously maintained his power by building files on numerous Washington politicians and putting his wiretapping and investigative capabilities at the service of Presidents pursuing political vendettas. That risk is making a comeback. The United States used the full force of its intelligence agencies to hold terrorism at bay for twenty years, but we paid too little attention to geopolitical adversaries who are now using chipping away at our strengths in ways we did not expect. As American intelligence reshapes itself to deal with new challenges from Russia and China, it is no longer hunting small groups of terrorists in distant deserts.

  • Protecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Investigation
    Protecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Investigation Background: Calls for a special prosecutor to investigate the Russian hacking of the 2016 election reached fever pitch after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey and then admitted it was because of the Russia investigation. Several months earlier, after public revelations that he had lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee about conversations he’d had with the Russian ambassador as a member of the Trump campaign, Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself from any investigations related to Russia and the election. Therefore, the responsibility for naming a special counsel fell to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who, on May 17th named former FBI Director, Robert Mueller. Mueller has hired a crack team of legal experts, issued subpoenas, and impaneled multiple grand juries in his probe into all aspects of Russian interference in our elections – including potential Trump campaign collusion -- as well as other legal matters arising in the course of that investigation. Trump and his allies have repeatedly attacked Mueller’s investigation, raising concerns that he might fire Mueller and/or obstruct the investigation in other ways. Key points: The public, by a margin of more than 2-to-1, supports the Mueller investigation, as do many Republicans and Democrats in Congress. A recent poll shows that of those following the Russia scandal closely, nearly two-thirds (65%) now think that members of his campaign colluded with Russia to help sway the November election. Both the House Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader have defended Mr. Mueller when the issue of his removal has come up.

  • Trump's Foreign Policy and NATO: Exit and Voice
    Review of International Studies (2019), 45: 3, 511–526 doi:10.1017/S0260210519000123 FORUM ARTICLE . Trump’s foreign policy and NATO: Exit and voice James Sperling1 and Mark Webber2* 1Department of Political Science, University of Akron, Ohio and 2School of Government and Society, University of Birmingham, UK *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (Received 24 January 2018; revised 20 January 2019; accepted 18 February 2019) https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms Abstract Donald Trump assumed office in January 2017, committed to revamping US foreign policy and putting ‘America First’. The clear implication was that long-held international commitments would be sidelined where, in Trump’s view, the American interest was not being served. NATO, in the crosshairs of this approach, has managed to ride out much of the criticism Trump has levelled against it. Written off as ‘obsolete’ by the American president, it has fared better in the Trump era than many commentators had predicted. NATO exemplifies a tendency in US foreign policy, which pre-dates Trump, where open criticism stops short of abandonment. This pattern has continued since 2017 and indicates a preference for voice over exit. As such, it suggests that Trump’s foreign policy is not always as illogical as many have assumed. Logic is borne of institutional context: Trump has chosen to articulate voice where institutionalisation makes exit unviable. Institutional resilience in general and NATO’s case specifically has a wider relevance, both for transatlantic relations and international order. Keywords: Trump; NATO; Voice; Exit , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at Introduction The Trump presidency has been widely regarded as presaging the end of liberal international order even if this is an order from which the US has long benefited.
