The Wall Street Journal wrote the hit piece against DNI Tulsi Gabbard, sourced to two “people familiar with the matter,” and “three other people with knowledge of the situation.” They all needed to coordinate with the WSJ. Think about it.
The substance of the story is that among the 37 current and former Intelligence Community officials Tulsi Gabbard recently stripped of their security clearances, was an “undercover CIA agent” located within one of those agencies.
The story is written to say DNI Tulsi Gabbard should have vetted the list with the CIA for a longer period of time before she took action. Therefore, she is not doing her job correctly, or something. The CIA was compromised by Tulsi Gabbard removing the security clearance of one of their hidden agents within the U.S. Government.
Before getting to the story at hand, just stop and think of what the story is selling. The article says the placement of CIA agents throughout the administration’s agencies is commonplace. The CIA Director is not necessarily aware of these CIA operatives or operations that are taking place within the government. That point is one well worth thinking about.
However, there’s another larger point that will fly past most casual observers. The Intelligence Community (IC), and let’s accept this one is likely the CIA (directorate of analysis) from the structure of the political hit, is leaking against DNI Tulsi Gabbard. Again, think. The issue at the heart of the CIA complaint is null and void unless the CIA publicly complains about it.
If there was a valid, genuine, legitimate and valuable CIA asset within the 37 names who lost their security clearances, the issue would be quickly and quietly resolved by just not taking the action against that person. Saying nothing, doing nothing, makes the “mistake” (if that’s what it was) disappear.
The CIA complaining about it to the Wall Street Journal is what makes the issue a problem. That’s how you can identify this story as an organized Intelligence Community political hit against Tulsi Gabbard.
Increasingly, it is becoming more and more clear that Tulsi Gabbard is factually doing what the Intelligence Community feared she would be doing.
DNI Gabbard is targeting all of the political weaponization within the Intelligence Community, and she is methodically removing the corrupt people within the system who participate. In short, she’s doing the thing we wanted her to do – and that’s a problem for the system.
Wall Street Journal – Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, surprised Central Intelligence Agency officials last week when she included an undercover senior CIA officer on a roster of 37 current and former officials she stripped of security clearances.
Most of the 37 people had either participated in intelligence assessments related to Russia’s attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election or had signed a 2019 letter calling for President Trump’s impeachment.
Gabbard didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover, according to a person familiar with the fallout from the list’s release. Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard’s office didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list.
Gabbard’s office delivered the list of 37 people to the CIA the evening before the list’s release, according to three people familiar with the communications and emails read to The Wall Street Journal.
The national intelligence office didn’t seek the CIA’s input about the composition of the list, and the CIA had no foreknowledge of Gabbard’s posting on X the following day that revealed the names, including that of the covered CIA officer, according to two of the people familiar with the events.
In a memo announcing the revocations, Gabbard said she had acted on Trump’s orders.
“Director of National Intelligence Gabbard directed the revocations to ensure individuals who have violated the trust placed in them by weaponizing, politicizing, manipulating, or leaking classified intelligence are no longer allowed to do so,” a spokeswoman in Gabbard’s office said.
[…] The CIA official whose clearance was revoked last week is a longtime Russia hand at the agency. The officer has held intelligence posts for more than 20 years and worked from 2014 to 2017 as an expert on Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, according to a publicly listed biography.
Earlier this year, the CIA officer spoke at a classified intelligence conference and was described as a senior executive manager in the CIA’s Europe and Eurasia mission center.
[…] It is a felony to reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer or agent, though it is unclear if the statute could be applied to a government disclosure, or if including her on the list constitutes a disclosure. (read more)
Did ya’ll catch that little slip-up “her” inside the last sentence?
Apparently, the person on the list, the hidden CIA operative that lost their security clearance, was a “her.”
I watch the minutia closely, and this is one of those very rare instances where I can say, I find zero reason to doubt the intents and integrity goals of DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
FTA: “The CIA officer spoke at a classified intelligence conference and was described as a senior executive manager in the CIA’s Europe and Eurasia mission center”… AFCEA Spring Intelligence Symposium: Ms. Julia Gurganus, Senior Executive Manager – Europe and Eurasia Mission Center, Central Intelligence Agency.

The CIA needs to be scattered to the wind.
The IC doesn’t realize Dir.Gabbard is the only thing standing between them and US.. these soulless sonsab!tches declared was on We The People and the poor bastards of the World upon inception.
“Who runs Bartertown??”
Missed You and Your comments , Jinxy Cat 😊
It’s good to be missed RL. And I meant “war” not “was” above.. Cheers!
They can just move the farm to Germany
Be sure to leave your passports at the airport before you board your last flight out of the USA. We don’t need corruption. As for the WSJ, if you believe them to be truthtellers, name them, present them for interviews and allow them to present their evidence directly to the people. Otherwise, take your unnamed sources and stick them where the sunlight won’t shine on them. Up your derrierre would be a good starting point!!
All the alphabet agencies need GONE!
So, there’s a corrupt CIA agent inside, probably, the state department, but we should keep that one because, being CIA trumps being corrupt?
Am I understanding this correctly?
Pretty spot on.
Strange no one seems to question WHY one government agency sees the need to spy on other agencies.
I thought being CIA was synonymous with being corrupt. It’s not one or the other. It’s one equals the other.
Bring ’em down Tulsi!
So is Ratcliffe just letting this happen?
The WSJ article claimed he was upset with Tulsi for doing this. I hope that isn’t true.
Of course WSJ is gonna write that crap. They want to split the cabinet members. Have them fighting each other. Who the hell believes anything WSJ says? There might be some tidbits of truth, but they spin the lies all around that truth.
Do you believe the fake spin? I don’t. Once you begin to recognize the fake spin, you can pick it out of every article.
Do you believe yourself, a Treeper CTH/Sundance for years, or do you believe WSJ? If the red flags in your gut are raised, you know they’re lying!!!!
IMO- There’s a zillion ops that Ratcliffe knows nothing about.
Time to run them all through Tulsi’s department. Every name working for every agency and let her hand out lists to the other agency heads and have them fired! If the ODNI has access to it all, it’s time to get rid of half the government or more!
👍
Whatever became of that gal – Mira Ricardel – who worked under John Bolton in the White House?
As I recall, when Melania (during President Trump’s first term) was preparing to leave for her trip to Africa, this gal got her britches in a big knot because Melania did not want Ricardel on her plane and had her assigned to the other plane. That gal THEN did something that was truly egregious, she removed Melania’s security detail for the trip!
Following that, when Melania returned home, she wanted that woman to be fired. The Chief of Staff at that time, John Kelly, was very dismissive of Melania’s concerns and characterized it all as some sort of “hen house thing” . . . but then President Trump stepped in and fired Ricardel and then afterwards offered her the embassy in Estonia, which she declined.
When you look back at all of John Bolton’s squirrelly machinations and consider this person he chose to have working under him who pulled the First Lady’s security, I think it indicates a thorough review is in order of who she was and what has she been doing lately. I see that she is on the board of an Australian company but what else has she been doing and what was she doing all the time that she was working for John Bolton? Did John Bolton send sensitive classified material to her?
Everyone and everything around John Bolton stinks to high heaven. What a disgusting and potentially dangerous thing to do to the First Lady. Jail is to good for JB, a noose or firing squad should be on the list and not necessarily in that order. He is right up there with another JB aka John Brennan. Both are way up there on the evil scale.
Or, better yet, burn it all down to the ground, and salt the earth!
Then nuke the site from orbit, just to make sure.
He seems clueless.
There was this in the above story: “The CIA Director is not necessarily aware of these CIA operatives or operations that are taking place within the government. That point is one well worth thinking about.”
In a normal, NOT DYSFUNCTIONAL IC one gets such a list and sees an ACTIVE undercover asset that may be compromised by disclosure….. the director or manager would CONTACT TULSI and INFORM HER that said asset is currently undercover….
At which point SHE AND THE PRESIDENT DECIDE how to then proceed…..
CIA is a rogue agency and has been almost since its inception. There’s no way Ratcliffe or any Director can possibly know everything going on around the world by unnamed covert agents, contractors etc. who are or may be deliberately working “off the books” for the benefit of an entity other than the citizens and elected government of the U.S.
And if Director Ratcliffe truly wasn’t knowledgeable about this planted spy within the Executive Branch, then that indicates some seriously defiant insubordination within the ranks.
Ratcliffe is likely clueless about much of the spy game shenanigans.
I like to think Ratcliffe is a silent partner in these efforts. He has an axe to grind after the way he was stonewalled by the IC while in Congress, then as DNI.
Then again, he may just be a doofus.
I think you resemble that doofus remark.
I watched most of his hearings while he was in Congress. I regretted that he was no longer going to be on his committees when President Trump appointed him during his first term. He is a brilliant man.

Ratcliife either knew about the implanted agent, or he did not.
If Ratcliffe knew about it, that implies possibly fomenting underhanded discord between two major agency heads.
If he did not know about it, that implies, at least to the public, that he is not in control of the agency. While many of us on this board are aware a director may not know every detail of what goes on in the back rooms of the CIA, it is an embarrassing look. For something that important, at the least someone down the line could have advised him.
Either way…while the WSJ piece article is up front a hit on Tulsi, there seems to be a subtle second-layer hit on Ratcliffe. At least, that’s what jumped out when I read it.
They now need to find the leakers.
OR, the WSJ made up the bulk of the story and lied about the sources. Maybe the only source was the “her” outed, and the others were made up to give her cover.
I would lay odds Ratcliffe knew.
So an Admission they are engaged and spy on Domestic soil as they are forbidden to do ,huh?
I thought the same thing. I though CIA wasnt authorized to do domestic operations. Then add CIA is running OPS in CONUS that the DIR knows nothing about. How is this kosher????
Thank “W” and his Patriot Act. Oh and remember who his Dad was before becoming Pres! Just a coincidence I guess that the Son of an ex- CIA Director turned our Intelligence(?) community loose on We The People! Even the Dallas brothers kept it over seas (we think).
But Allen Dulles DID go to an American company – here in the CONUS – to obtain nuclear material to give to the Israelis for their nuclear energy program while officially it was a big failure of our intelligence to not know about Israel’s capacity.
If the cia doesn’t want their agents fired, they should give Tulsi a list of the names of all of their agents.
I friggin LOVE the Treehouse. Sundance, you’re a National Treasure. I wish it was required reading starting in 5th grade.
And a required part of the presidential daily briefing!
Date 2014 = 2017 tells just what she was doing especially since its also a Russia thing. Give me a break. Release it again and highlight her name.
I count 13 female names of 37. That alone narrows the individual. With info in article I would say that WSJ has identified the person.
I’m not so sure. In DC it wouldn’t surprise me if any dude on that list had the word “her” on his list of personal pronouns.
How much “undercover” can a CIA get? lol.
Bolshevick oligarchs are drawn to the intelligence community like moths to a flame. The government requirements are waived for those who have relatives and connections. The gatekeepers have ridiculous requirements to keep YT out.
Leave it to the WSJ to fall in line in any way possible to provide anti-Trump narrative! More power to Tulsi to continue exposing the truth about the deep state.
The WSJ has been a tool for the IC for a long time. It’s become more overt since the Tea Party and now MAGA.
The IC and UniParty loathe the populist movements here and abroad.
The WSJ is such a poor source of news, it has to be subsidized by the US government. It is almost a biweekly now. Any crumb of money has to be important to them.
One might almost think they were being subsidized through the USAID!
Should we add the letters VP to her Lt Col (Ret) come 28? Sure would feel good to know that added back bone was supporting whoever the front guy is and know who we had a breath away from taking command. I know what some are thinking but you know darned well enough folks won’t vote for a lady President just because “______” but after 8 years as VP they just might!
Not advocating just planting a seed. Think Golda Meir and Margret Thatcher. Tough Ladies!
“Did ya’ll catch that little slip-up “her” inside the last sentence?
Apparently, the person on the list, the hidden CIA operative that lost their security clearance, was a “her.””
Shouldn’t be hard to figure this one out then, as per the article she “worked from 2014 to 2017 as an expert on Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, according to a publicly listed biography.”
OMG, it’s Nellie Ohr!
😂
Ah! Not on the list! But I sure hope Nellie’s clearance was lifted long ago!
Julia S. Gurganus: Former National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia
Julia Gurganus
Takes a lot of sleuthing – but she was the Russian expert and was in charge of 100’s of people – high enough in the chain to work on the ICA russia hoax report.
Gurganus was identified as CIA, identified as working on Brennan’s Russia hoax, etc. five years ago,
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/09/24/secret_report_how_cias_brennan_overruled_dissenting_analysts_who_thought_russia_favored_hillary_125315.html
an excerpt below: (note the mention of Vinh Nguyen, another name from the 37-list)
Her boss during the ICA’s drafting was CIA officer Julia Gurganus. Clapper tasked Gurganus, then detailed to NIC as its national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia, with coordinating the production of the ICA with Kendall-Taylor.
They, in turn, worked closely with NIC’s cybersecurity expert Vinh Nguyen, who had been consulting with Democratic National Committee cybersecurity contractor CrowdStrike to gather intelligence on the alleged Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee computer system. (CrowdStrike’s president has testified he couldn’t say for sure Russian intelligence stole DNC emails, according to recently declassified transcripts.)
“Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard’s office didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list.”
So what the heck does “meaningfully” even mean?
I find it incomprehensible that Gabbard would not have had a “meaningful” discussion with Ratcliffe about this. Further, if someone in the CIA had a real problem with this, would not they got Ratcliffe’s attention to it?
Finally…Gabbard has declared that this was done with Trump’s approval. So again….where the heck is Ratcliffe?
ratcliffe is AWOL along with kash and bondi…
Please this post is not about Patel or Bondi! Refreshing!
loki, you have no rank nor authority to try to tell others what they may or may not write about…
You obviously are opposed to freedom of speech, a right, given to me by the 1st and 14th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
As a consequence, of the above statements, I hereby notify you that you have my express permission to not read my posts.
Of course … NOBODY needs (She He It They)’s bloody permission for anything.
And, I agree with you. (These threads are far less tedious when folks stay on topic.)
Many here, when the screen name pops up, already just scroll right bye.
I suspect they are inferring it was cursory and didn’t give what they consider proper deference to those who felt they needed it in the CIA.
It makes me smile that she offended them. They’ve been offending me for a long time and it is wonderful she’s getting under their skins.
As transparent as this administration is, as long as Gabbard and Ratcliffe are both working toward the same objective then I don’t need to see John Ratcliffe.
If there was dissension between them I imagine we would see something indicating it via information released or withheld.
I think the article is voiced by the CIA bureaucrats jockeying to try and keep Ratcliffe in line and subvert the effectiveness of Tulsi Gabbard. If they can take down Gabbard, it hurts efforts Ratcliffe is making with her to clean house, bring transparency and accountability.
I laughed out loud typing transparency in regards to anything the CIA does.
Yeah transparency and CIA or any other spook organization (foreign or domestic) seems like an oxymoron.
Maher Bitar is next level evil like Yuval Harari, Adrian Fontes, Zohran Mamdani , Mark Kelly ,Patrick Gaspard……
In a normal world, “her” would be telling…but nowadays…SMH
While all probably needed to lose the clearances, I’m sure the “her” was known by Trump and Tulsi and so strip “her” among 3 dozen others to hide her name. It’s Wall Street Journal fault for narrowing the list of possibilities.
good point!
The “Wall Street Journal” . . . I haven’t looked at it yet but today is Thursday so Karl Rove probably has his op-ed in there today.
My Mom and I were watching a movie – “Trading Places” – the other evening and Don Ameche was reading the “Wall Street Journal” from the olden days – just that classic no-nonsense front page we remember so fondly.
Rupert had to go and mess it up, in so many ways.
He probably liked the new “Cracker Barrel” logo too – fortunately, they went back to the original!
So, I mentioned to my Mom this post I had made and she asked, “Did you read Karl Rove’s op-ed today?”
“No, not yet.”
“Well, you’re going to look like a pretty terrible person, criticizing him again when his op-ed today was very sad. You should read it and then make an apology.”
“To whom?”
“Well, the people there, on the Treehouse.”
So I read Karl Rove’s op-ed in today’s WSJ and indeed it was a very sad subject matter, about the flash flood in Texas where many children died. Rove’s op-ed was about he and wife, a lobbyist, who hosted a dinner for parents of those children who have now been active in pursuing legislation to prevent such a thing happening again.
You know, I am STILL an awful, horrible person.
“He said the telephone on the limousine is busted. What is you, ignant?”
For a community supposedly consisting of the Best and the Brightest, the IC appears to be incredibly obtuse. Things have changed and a plurality, if not an outright majority, think Tulsi is a woman of integrity and support what she is doing. This just makes *them* look bad.
If Presdent Harry “Give them Hell” Truman were still alive, he would be praising Tulsi Gabbard.
From Zerohedge (2017-03-09) Said the CIA Was a “Government All Its Own” Which Was Destroying Democracy..
President Truman created the CIA. But in the 1970s, he told his biographer, Merle Miller:
I think [creation of the CIA] was a mistake. And if I’d known what was going to happen, I never would have done it.
Why, they’ve got an organization over there in Virginia now that is practically the equal of the Pentagon in many ways. And I think I’ve told you, one Pentagon is one too many.
Now, as nearly as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don’t just report on wars and the like, they go out and make their own, and there’s nobody to keep track of what they’re up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring up trouble so they’ll have something to report on. They’ve become … it’s become a government all of its own and all secret. They don’t have to account to anybody.
That’s a very dangerous thing in a democratic society, and it’s got to be put a stop to. The people have got a right to know what those birds are up to. And if I was back in the White House, people would know.
Tulsi’s department had a 40% reduction in staff, let’s see the same in all the different branches. Seems Tulsi is doing the only heavy lifting of reducing the bureaucracy.
Harry Truman and Jack Kennedy, the only Jacksonian Democrats of the 20th Century. Maybe since Grover Cleveland.
Missouri common sense.
Harry “Give them Hell” Truman created the CIA, so it could justly be said that he gave US Hell.
Continue bolstering Tulsi with prayer.
I firming believe it’s helping and Sundance’s explanations are part of that help.
Yes! Keep praying for Tulsi!
“Political” officers
“It is a felony to reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer” I understand from my DC based adult children that security clearances are a dime a dozen down there. To have one’s security clearance revoked isn’t proof that someone was a covert agent. It could simply mean they worked for Boeing (or some other defense contractor) within the last five years.
True. I live just outside DC. Husband retired from the DC Metro a few years ago.
Our big claim to DC fame is Robert Hanson was pulled out of his townhome, a five-minute walk from our house, in our 1968 AD townhome neighborhood.
Can’t make this stuff up. The use of her certainly reduced the work we have to do to figure out who is the mole.
Thanks sundance for watching all this stuff.
A mole. Not the mole.
Good point!
Just proves to me she’s doing her job right.
So the WSJ notes that it is a felony to disclose the identity of a covert intelligence officer, but includes all this identifying information???
The CIA official whose clearance was revoked last week is a longtime Russia hand at the agency. The officer has held intelligence posts for more than 20 years and worked from 2014 to 2017 as an expert on Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, according to a publicly listed biography.
Earlier this year, the CIA officer spoke at a classified intelligence conference and was described as a senior executive manager in the CIA’s Europe and Eurasia mission center.
And also identifies the agent as “her”?? But Tulsi is responsible for a security breach???
.
This is a pisser. The WSJ potentially exposed her as an agent. And she — and who else — continue leaking!
.
Right!
Add to that, isn’t it illegal for the CIA to work operations on US soil?????
Tulsi is going beast mode. But it’s all for not if Bondi doesn’t do her job in the end. Still waiting on that. They also need to be targeting all these Rogue ass judges that think they have the right to subvert the will of the people. I bet there is more than a few that have skeletons.
Please this post isn’t about Bondi. Let’s keep it that way.
The WSJ is every bit as bad as the WP and NYT. Any comment you try to make in the comments section that isn’t aligned with what they are promoting will never see the light of day. For everyone’s sake I hope she is successful in cleaning out this next of vipers. The WSJ hit piece also claimed Ratcliffe was angry with her – hopefully that isn’t true.
WSJ the new NYT or WAPO?
So isn’t the Clowns In America operating in domestic circles a violation of it’s charter?
Go Tulsi!!!
Stay Tulsi.
The wsj is just another propaganda rag. I do not believe anything they print regarding the ic. If Ratcliff was so upset with Tulsi, it would have been made public long time ago. Just more BS from one of the big three manure peddlers, the new york slimes, washington compost and gall street journal.
Cover Tulsi in prayers.
I couldn’t find Valerie plames name on the list.
Exactly! It all brought back memories of Scooter Libby being dragged but other people knew who it was that revealed Valerie’s identity and they just sat on it. Plus Valerie and her hubby basically chasing fame and glory!
😄
They all need to go!! Plus, these ridiculous agencies need to be totally restructured or dismantled! 💁🏻♀️
Dismantled!
This story, based on liars and leakers, is how you know she has gotten her hammer a little too close for the Deep State’s comfort. If she and other patriots get too close to the proof, the Deep State will go down in flames. They are literally fighting for their survival right now. We’re behind you Tulsi!! You and the other Heros of this administration need to keep fighting for TRUTH, JUSTICE and the AMERICAN WAY!!!!!
Thank you Superman!
Is this CIA doofus spying domestically?
Yes and why not give us reason why ‘she’ lost her clearance to begin with, cia or not.
Fun thought, Ratcliff wanted this person’s clearance revoked but says he didn’t know. Oh well, sorry ms lady spook.
Sounds like an excuse to turn a blow-torch on the CIA.
Start removing everyone involved with the agent from top on down, which should catch the leaker(s). Fire, investigate, prosecute. Fists of fury. Tons of collateral damage, please. Move Federal Marshalls into Langley and freeze all operations.
I don’t know what pretext there is for undercover placement in US gov, CIA is not supposed to operate within US.
People in DC may care about the CIA, the rest of the country won’t miss them, plenty will celebrate and the world will be a much better place. As in any secret organiztion, not one of the employees can know for sure whose objectives they are actually advancing. Its a faith-based organization without any basis for faith.
Blow torch? I say nuke ’em!
…her…
Great catch! There are tons of dirty people in out government.
The person they’re referring to is Julia S. Gurganus:
https://carnegieendowment.org/people/julia-gurganus?lang=en
It is a felony to reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer or agent,…….this is what they are going for, charge Tulsi with a felony and remove her
Shades of Armitage, Batman! It wasn’t Scooter Libby!
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed deeply critical views of the CIA, consistently alleging its involvement in significant historical events and ongoing government overreach. He believes there is “overwhelming evidence” that the CIA was involved in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, in 1963, stating the case is “beyond a reasonable doubt” and pointing to withheld documents and alleged confessions as proof. He has also suggested the CIA may have been involved in the assassination of his father, Robert F. Kennedy, though he described that evidence as “very convincing, but is circumstantial”
Furthermore, Kennedy Jr. views the CIA as part of a broader “military-industrial complex and intelligence apparatus” that pushes the U.S. into wars, asserting his uncle resisted these pressures. He perceives the agency as weaponizing its power against American citizens and advancing political agendas, particularly against former President Donald Trump, which he refers to as the “Russia hoax”. His daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former CIA officer, has echoed some of these criticisms, lamenting a decline in the agency’s integrity and intelligence quality.”
According to Grok: “Andrea Kendall-Taylor worked from 2014 to 2017 as an expert on Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, serving as the deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia from 2015 to 2018″. Her name is Not on the list released by DNI Gabbard.
Outside CNAS, Kendall-Taylor has been a CNN national security analyst.
Also from her biography. CNAS is the Center for New American Security. CNAS is located in Washington and was established in 2007 by co-founders Dr. Kurt M. Campbell and Michèle A. Flournoy (according to its website).
I thought that Flournoy’s name sounded familiar. She was a defense official in the Clinton and Obama administrations.
Here’s an idea: make the intelligence community open-source. Put all information gathered online — on a Reddit like site — and have the autists go after the data. A lot of problems would probably be solved very quickly. Award Medals to those who successfully thwart threats to the Republic.
We should be a free Republic and live up to our ideals. No secret agencies or agendas. Those be default require lies, and lying as a habit is a pox on the soul of the nation.
Get rid of the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc. Cancel their pensions and tell them they’re on their own at the very least (if we don’t scrutinize and prosecute every one of them as a terrorist agent).
A small group of anonymous “someones” in the agency that must not be named just deliberately burned their own agent. Why? Settling old grudges, or something deeper? Or perhaps it was official, coming down from the top? Certainly nothing subtle about it.
Close up the SHOP! Bring in BORIS & NATASHA for any skullduggery that the great and powerful USA needs to engage in?
The work she is doing is for We the People, not We the Government.
She’s definitely putting her hand up for some more prominent role in 2028.
Although I’d bet she’s loving doing her current job.
Burn it all down…
Weed out the traitors to their oaths…
Prosecute…Prosecute…Prosecute…
NO MERCY!
It sounds as if the Director of the CIA isn’t the real director of the CIA.
Who is?
Continue to stand strong Tulsi Gabbard – our nation is counting on you to continue this work.
Perhaps, just perhaps this CIA mole had no business being where he/she was and so the clearance was intentionally revoked.
We can only hope that Tulsi IDs the rest of the CIA moles embedded in government and their clearances are likewise unceremoniously revoked!
