Of course, the classic "don't ask, don't tell" of the national security state. The careerists don't want oversight and the president wants plausible deniability so they're left to just do whatever tf they want with no democratic accountability whatsoever.
And that in itself is a reason why the intelligence community cannot be allowed to exist in its current form.
That it's trivially easy for them to just casually decide to do a genocide with no input or oversight from any democratic process that could hold them accountable or allow the people to actually control what our foreign policy is.
