The 'Church Committee' was designed to consolidate all National Security and Intel issues into one committee and shut the rest of the Senate out by using 'classification' as an excuse. The Church Committee made it to where the CIA only had to compromise 8 Senators instead of the whole Senate. Anybody who is on the Senate Committee for Intel is compromised. Yes that means Tom Cotton is compromised.
Look at how Intel was denied to Congressmen and Senators after the Church committee findings were implemented. In today's Senate NOBODY buy 8 Senators and 8 Congressmen even have a clue what the CIA / Naval Intel /DHS etc… are doing - by design.
The Church Committee was the pre cursor to the 'Patriot Act' in taking away our right to a transparent Government.
