    Political warfare is back. America has not sufficiently grappled with this form of orchestrated challenge across the political, economic, and informational realms, say RAND experts. The U.S. could benefit from relearning how to fight in this domain.

    The attempt to spin this piece as Trump/Nunes outing the FBI mole in the Trump campaign is not very convincing. What made this inevitable was the FBI/DOJ leaks over the last few days, attempting to preempt the fallout.
