This Deep State cleanout move is coordinated by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
News is coming out about DNI Tulsi Gabbard taking the National Intelligence Council out of the CIA silo, and removing the two heads of the agency, Chairman Mike Collins (friend of Mike Morrell) and Deputy Chair Maria Langan-Riekhof. Both officials were conducting intelligence operations on behalf of the Lawfare aligned Intel Community.
WASHINGTON DC – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council – whom whistleblowers describe as “radically opposed to Trump” — and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any “politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn’t immediately find contact information for Collins.
Collins also has whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and “deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration,” officials said.
They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.
As for Langan-Reikhof, officials said she has been a “key advocate” for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and is someone who whistleblowers allege is “radically opposed to Trump.”
Meanwhile, Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.
Many intel community leakers are “career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics,” officials said.
“It takes time to weed them out and fire them,” one official told Fox News Digital, adding that “plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway.” (read more)


Keep praying for more of this
Slowly at first…and now with the Saudi trip we move with lightning speed 💪
President Trump will free the people of Iran from their fanatical, tyrannical Mullas! JMO
It’s been 45+ years since the maniacs took over Iran. That’s time to shape the minds of three generations of Iranians.
Where lies the loyalty of the Iranian people as a whole? The last generation that recalls life under the Shah are the age of our Boomers. They are old.
THANKS, i RESEMBLE ” They are old “.
YES, i WATCHED ” NIGHTLINE with Ted Koppel ”
Yes, unfortunately I am old enough to remember this ….
Just want to say I love your sn. I say the same thing to my little toy cup poodles! 🐩
In addition, we need to keep praying 🙏 for our country. The Marc Elias’s of the country are at it again!! 💁🏻♀️
Thanks, it’s a reminder to stop and think before I post a response.
I got moderated, and rightly so, for responding with some salty language and attitude. Someone managed to push my button and I am now on high alert to avoid such an incident.
Why can’t he be stopped for sedition and conspiracy? He’s the impetus for all the corrupt judicial rulings.
There is alot of scum to clean up.
And Trump appointees are working/trying to clean up the mess; they will need time, but the trickle-out tidbits are telling a story.
Best news of the day.
Yep.
Apart from Pres Trump’s stomping long time in Saudi Arabia bringing in billions and billions for the US. Other than that yes, Tulsi is hopefully on the right track. Still winnnnning! 😎👏
And John Brennan has said that he is absolutely “livid” about this. Gee, I wonder why?
National Intelligence Council?
That’s another new one for me. How much redundancy does the IC have, anyway?
Redundant? We basically have north of TWENTY intel agencies in this country. It’s insane. I’d highly recommend reading “Senseless Secrets” sometime. Basically talks about the multiple failures of intelligence agencies all the way back to the founding of the country. It’s eye-opening but you can really see some of the “silo” stuff that Sundance talks about here in that book, it just isn’t referred to as that.
Exactly. In addition, there are unidentified intelligence operatives embedded in other government agencies.
This is a malignancy that has spread throughout the federal government.
Maybe there are 17 intellegence agencies like they use to say.
There are – https://www.businessinsider.com/17-agencies-of-the-us-intelligence-community-2013-5?op=1#the-central-intelligence-agency-spies-on-foreign-governments-and-organizes-covert-ops-1
And how many hidden ones?
Grift. Too many experts to fleece taxpayers by trillion.
I have submitted an foia request to the Department of Redundancy Department to get an answer to your question.
Yet over here in Britain Stan we only have one Monopolies Commission
It’s a secret.
A couple of career Swamp critters, with nice homes, country club memberships, private schools and year-round cocktail party invitations.
someone getting fired is the best we are getting
in a target rich environment
I wouldn’t be surprised these clowns were committing many crimes
More of this, please!
Termites can be a nuisance.
More than that…. they destroy ‘foundations’.
Cut off one head and 20 more emerge
Hail hydra
Burn the bloody end and it won’t grow any more heads…
💀 🙏 💀
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
Anything helps.
It won’t end for filthy traitor, Mike Morell.
watch him and his family try to flee to Canada where he has a safehouse.
We’re picking fleas off one at a time. We need to flea dip the entire dog
You find a dip tank big enough for the dog ,than have at it.
Starcap the agency and the Frontline every 30 days. Spray yard.
So much more efficient than dip. Lot less mess.
Hadn’t thought of Jerry Clower or this story in 50 years… but this article brought it to my mind
di-rectly!
That wore a pure plumb pleasure, by golly!
One of the best storytellers ever.
Yessir. Jay-ree Clowuh!
I met him in Indy back in the early 90’s. He was on our shuttle from the hotel to the airport. He told jokes the entire time. I left him standing on the sidewalk at the airport talking to himself.
Use the chainsaw.
Clovis fired up that lightweight McCulloch and they just gave him the beer joint.
Wow this is great news. I hope they continue to clean them out.
Tulsi Gabbard is doing it right; keep your mouth shut and just do the job needed.
The results reveal themselves without 87 stenographer-show appearances.
Too bad Patel and Blondie are not taking out the trash in their agencies.
What is Kash’ preferred betting game and strip club in Las Vegas?
Talk about tone deaf.
MAGA Fabulous!
Let’s have some Winnamins and Cheetos!
And, Diet Coke!
Mike Morell once said that Donald Trump was “unqualified to be President and posed as a national security problem” if elected. That was in 2016 when he gave his reason for backing Hillary Clinton.
Well I don’t blame Mike. It’s not like Trump has decades of incompetence, grifting, and criminality like his preferences Clinton and Biden.
Awesome!!! I have always liked Tulsi and wanted her in the first administration. Sounds like she is going to be a great leader at ODNI!
Wonder Woman
“Many intel community leakers are “career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics,” officials said.
“It takes time to weed them out and fire them,” ”
This is a good start.
I might be over thinking things, but I interpret her repeated statements that “prosecutions are needed” as a jab at Blondi and Cash.
Gabbard is going right at the problem, and doing it publicly. FBI and DOJ? Not so much, or not confidence inspiring considering the target rich environments in their organizations.
But Gabbard is right. If people aren’t criminally prosecuted, the blob will just reform in a few years. Some very public figurative beheadings – through literal prison time – are needed.
This is a great move, and she’s going fast enough that she can stay ahead of both the news cycle and the IC’s ability to generate countermeasures.
Even if they just bury a few dozen in… Lawfare… it sends a warning message to all.
I’d have started first month with indictments against the 26 woke DOJ attorneys who erased their Federal cell phones when working for Andrew Weismann / Mulehead.
If Blondie can hire a dozen pitbull attorneys and investigators, and get out of their way, I’m OK w that.
Rip it down to the studs, then smear tar on the framing, ignite
The Fox is following the Beagle, following the Fox.
Priceless.
This is such great news. Tulsi Gabbard is an American hero and will someday become President, probably the first female POTUS.
Everytime some real patriot does the job assigned, folks start planning them for the Presidency. A
I’m hoping this is like pulling the first thread and things start to unravel fast.
So maybe some of the earlier criticism of her and other senior administration officials is turning out to having been premature? Seems to me given the level of past vitriol that should have specifically mentioned out of fairness and setting the record straight here at the Tree House.
Sorry, hyphenated names are usually a warning sign to me. May be some that disagree with that. I dug a little, saw her name headlining on a climate change intelligence report. That was enough for me. Anyone know who they are married to that likely don’t have the same last name and are embedded somewhere likely as equally damaging?
I agree JC. Around our geography, the hyphenated species is a tell-tale for trouble. It’s akin to a deliberate in-your-face warning; “don’t mess with me”. Deep inside I kinda thank them cuz it allows me to strategize b/4 the engagement.
Best way to get rid of the leakers is to close offices where any may be lurking. That way, those not wanting to lose their station will speak up about those who are doing illegal actions. Moving is not an option. Holding them accountable for their crimes is.
I Pray they (Tulsi&Co.) go whole hog with the surveillance apparatus on these IC goons that they let go. Let them wonder who’s listening or reading their texts and emails.
I am of a mind that if these people are not rounded up they will regroup and come back to bite us in the worst way imaginable.
I consider myself to be somewhat well-informed on what is going on.
I know I should not be, but I am shocked that this is the first I am reading about this.
No other breathless news reports, nothing on social media that I have seen so far. Nothing.
They F’d Around with Tulsi pre-election … now they’re F’ing Out.
One can hope she (Tulsi) saves her best strike for last. Looking at you Hillary.
I don’t know about the rest of y’all. But nothing would make my day, month, year, or decade better than to see Bill’s other half, perp walked into a Federal courthouse, handcuffs and all.
Eisen,Klain,Weissman,Podesta.Epps,McCord.. we could play this game all night!
It certainly is a target rich environment.
Happy hunting, Tulsi.
Take away the money.
Repeat one million times.
But Senate GOP Decepticons won’t vote yes on a bill stripping DOGE monies identified.
That is my plan, bad as it is.
Right now, because I’m reluctantly paying taxes, I am an asset to them.
When I decide to stop (given the actions of the US govt. that might be soon), I will become a criminal.
At 76 years of age, going to prison for resisting the fraud, doesn’t seem too bad.
I will become a liability.
Such a fall from being a successful architect in society!
Some legacy.
Pathetic.
Encouraging. Brave lady.
I’m pleasantly surprised they were FIRED, as opposed to being, transfered,demoted, reassigned …
I like her better every day
And just to remind everyone of where we were this time last year: FJB
Never liked the CIA Director as top dog on the NFIB…a precursor to NIC. Glad to see Tulsi is kickin’ a** and working hard to get the IC back to doing its real mission of making America safe from hostile world actors.
She’s doing it right here in the good ole USA — those two are/were “hostile world actors.”
Surely some of their actions are chargeable offenses. I want to see arrests!!
Off the cuff manager scorecard
Great / V Good:
Elon Musk
JD Vance
Tulsi Gabbard
Harmeet Dhillon- fired 100+ woke attorneys
Marco Rubio
John Ratcliff
Trade and Economic Team
Missing in Action:
Pam Blondie
Las Vega$ Kash
Dan Bongino?
Outstanding!
They tried to kill him. He’s going to get them.
“Mikey likes it!”.
Go Tulsi!! 🙂
Just what the hell is the job of the former National Intelligence Council?
Get them out. The real problem is that with the next Democrat administration they’ll all be back.
In fact, with the next RINO administration they’ll all be back too.
So, who picked Tulsi and Rubio to be two of the most effective, fully MAGA hero’s of the new Trump Administration?
Um …Oh..kaay. I see no hands raised. 😉
Silo demolitions.
Tulsi Gabbard has bigger balls than 99% of the Republican men.
I thought Doug Collins was a MAGA Republican all this time. Let them ALL pay for what they’ve done to America.
It’s Mike Collins — not Doug!!
This woman is on an upward trajectory within the Trump Admin.
(awaiting approval ??)
You’re not on our moderation list.
Ok thanks Ad rem.
2 down, who knows how many more to go.
