It really depends on which side you are on. If you support Evangelical-backed business interests and are partial to Israel then you would have more trust in the intelligence community than someone who wants higher taxes or someone who has no religious preferences.

I think you might be letting your own political biases guide your opinion here. I don’t know any evangelicals who trust IC.

Don't many who fit that description consider the IC to be part of the 'deep state'?

it goes both ways. there's two sides to the current praetorian guard setup. nsa if you're a technocrat liberal. cia if you're a bible conservative.

with both having nothing to hide, of course
