Adam Dunigan, a Marine veteran and former CIA case officer running in Virginia's 8th District, argued term limits with Katie Chorbak and Carl Able, put getting big money out of politics at the top of his platform, and said he left the agency over ethics. He called for abolishing and rebuilding ICE. The second hour covered William Pulte at ODNI, the fight over FISA Section 702, and reports of ICE seizing veterans' KIA bracelets.
