The Trump Administration remains steadfast in its mission to dismantle the entrenched Deep State within the government.
In a decisive move, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has dismissed the top two officials of the National Intelligence Council. This action follows revelations from whistleblowers indicating that these individuals were "radically opposed" to President Trump.
The officials in question, Mike Collins, who was the acting chair, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, have been relieved of their duties.
According to Fox News, Collins faced multiple whistleblower complaints alleging anti-Trump bias and efforts to undermine the administration. His connections to Michael Morrell, a former CIA Deputy Director and orchestrator of the "Spies Who Lie" letter, further complicated his position.
This letter, signed by 51 former intelligence officials, suggested that Hunter Biden's laptop bore "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," providing Joe Biden with a "talking point" during a debate against President Trump.
Langan-Riekhof's termination was attributed to her advocacy for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which were perceived as biased against Trump. Gabbard's actions extend beyond these dismissals; she is relocating the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. This strategic move aims to ensure accountability and prevent the politicization of intelligence.
Gabbard's recent actions follow her criminal referral of three intelligence officials to the Justice Department for leaking information to major media outlets. "Politicization of our intelligence and leaking classified information puts our nations security at risk and must end," Gabbard asserted to Fox News. She emphasized that those responsible for such leaks would face the full extent of the law. An ODNI official confirmed ongoing aggressive investigations into other leaks.
In a related development, DHS Chief Kristi Noem has identified two leakers within the Department of Homeland Security, who now face potential prison sentences of up to 10 years. Additionally, three aides to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been dismissed for leaking information to the corporate media. Two of these aides are reportedly considering legal action for "wrongful termination."
These actions underscore a broader effort by the Trump Administration to address leaks and biases within the intelligence community, reinforcing a commitment to national security and integrity in government operations.
