One of my recommendations for a Trump agenda last month over at The American Mind was bringing back the House and Senate Committees on Internal Security, which were abolished back in the aftermath of our national self-flagellation after Watergate. I repeat it here for those who missed it:

Given the recent disclosure that Israel’s battle plans against Iran were immediately leaked by someone in our national security apparatus, along with the scandal of the State Department’s pro-Iran envoy Robert Malley sharing classified material with Iran, the Senate and House (assuming they are in Republican hands) should move immediately to revive their committees on internal security and conduct intensive investigations into Iranian penetration in or influence over our government. The Left will howl “McCarthyism!” but, like racism, that overused charge has lost its sting. The original Mandate for Leadership the Heritage Foundation produced in 1980 called for reviving the committees on internal security that had been abolished in the 1970s in our fit of anger at the CIA and FBI—and maybe it isn’t too late to add them to Project 2025 just to give the Left one more source of heartburn.

The reason for reviving these committees is clear:

CIA Official Charged with Leaking Classified Documents about Planned Israeli Strike on Iran

A CIA official has been charged with leaking classified U.S. documents about Israel’s potential plan to strike Iran in response to the Islamic Republic’s missile attack on the Jewish state last month.

Asif Rahman, who worked overseas for the clandestine agency, was indicted last week in federal court in Virginia on two counts of willful retention and transmission of national-defense information. He allegedly violated the Espionage Act, which bars the unlawful acquisition of defense-related information that could either harm the U.S. or aid a foreign country.

With his top security clearance, Rahman had access to sensitive information like many other CIA employees who handle classified materials.

We can’t trust the FBI, CIA, or the standing committees on intelligence in the House and Senate to probe how far the rot goes inside our agencies. Heck, let’s go further and have them come back in their original form, as committees on “Un-American Activity.” That will drive even more liberals into a mental health crisis.
