Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, has expressed his belief that President Donald Trump has a window of "six to 12 months" to dismantle the administrative and deep state.
He made these comments during a conversation with Tucker Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, on his podcast.
According to the Daily Caller, Kirk's remarks followed the release of declassified files by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. These files, made public last Friday, indicated "overwhelming evidence" that the administration of former President Barack Obama had "manufactured and politicized intelligence" in relation to the 2016 Russia collusion narrative.
Kirk commended Gabbard's efforts to shed light on the Russia hoax, stating, I believe that all roads lead back to the intel agencies on all this stuff. And so Tulsi is now getting under the hood. This revelation of Russiagate is massive. Its huge. God bless her for doing this."
Kirk further emphasized the personal significance of this issue for President Trump, who he believes was unjustly targeted by a fabrication from within his own government. He said, I know the president cares about it personally, as he should, because how much of his life and his energy was just spent defending against a fabrication? Not a fabrication of the Chinese Communist Party, by the way. Not a fabrication of our adversaries, [but] a fabrication of our own government.
He went on to express his concern about the misuse of government power against a duly elected President, questioning, Whos running the United States government? He then asserted that President Trump, once the hunted, has now become the hunter.
In 2016, Trump's first campaign was accused of colluding with Russia to influence the election in his favor. Despite the infamous Steele dossier serving as a guide for the investigation, no evidence of collusion was found. This has led to ongoing questions about the motivations of former officials who pushed against the president.
Gabbard's memo revealed that Obamas director of national intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security had suppressed an FBI and NSA press release issued weeks before the 2016 election. This press release expressed low confidence in Russias involvement in the data leaks.
The memo also alleged that deep state intelligence officials began leaking blatantly false intelligence to The Washington Post following the 2016 election.
Kirk expressed a strong desire for accountability, stating, I know what the grassroots want. I know what President Trump wants. We need perp walks. We need arrests. We need accountability. If we do not smash the administrative state and the deep state in the coming six to 12 months, then were actually not going to. Were not going to bring this entire intelligence apparatus to heel.
He also expressed his belief that the intelligence agencies are fearful of the growing awareness among the public. He said, I can tell you, they are deeply fearful of this movement. They know that we are aware. They notice that they know that we are noticing things, that were seeing patterns, that we know how powerful the intelligence agencies have become.
Before Gabbard's revelations, there were reports that former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan were under criminal investigation for potential misconduct related to the Steele dossier. It remains unclear how far the investigation will extend, but the FBI is reportedly viewing the officials interactions as a conspiracy.
Kirk concluded by emphasizing the importance of holding the intelligence agencies accountable, stating, So thats why I think Russiagate really matters, is that its a way to hold them accountable to see how dark and honestly demonic their activities have become.
Hopefully an opportunity to fulfill a mandate that President Trump ran on I still know [he] believes to this day, which is to bring the deep state to hopefully smash it or, [at] the very least, bring it back into balance.
