A former U.S. Attorney is sounding the alarm about a decision from the Trump administration that he argues may "fly under the radar" but could heavily impact the intelligence community: the removal of three Democrats from the Private and Civil Liberties Board (PCLOB).
Concretely, Andrew Weissmann, who was an Assistant U.S. Attorney between 1991 and 2002 and the FBI Special Counsel, said in a piece in Just Security the move renders the 5-member oversight border inoperable, with four vacant seats and a single member who can't take any action at the moment.
