Conflict

On the one side, we have Congress restricting what the National Security Agency can do. 

On the other, we have problems with the Veterans Administration, with subpoenas and investigations from Congress. 

Meanwhile, there is also an investigation into the Benghazi attack, with John Kerry being asked to appear before Congress

It feels like there are real concerns about what the government is doing. 

An interesting dilemma here: Is the government investigating itself? Are different areas holding hearings on other areas, because that’s what checks and balances are about? Or is the Republican House investigating the Democratic White House because politics are still divided?

Perhaps it doesn’t matter. Yet. A Crisis about people distrusting government is going to head down in this direction, with uncertainties about the actual path to take and Who Is Right. Maybe they'll be resolved, maybe The Big War will be needed.
