   @cdarwin Have they even threatened an audit? Because that's where the Pentagon's real fear lies.

     “Public reports indicate that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is pushing senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials to increase operational coordination in law enforcement activities,”
     reads the letter, which TNR obtained.
     It warns that this “continues to erode the line between defense activities and law enforcement.”

     The defense secretary surely will throw this letter in the garbage.
     But, as hopeless as the prospects for real congressional oversight look right now,
     Democrats should make it absolutely clear that if they capture the House (and the Senate) in next year’s midterm elections,
     it will mean relentless scrutiny of every aspect of Trump’s corrupt abuses of the military toward domestic political ends.
