President Trump’s January Executive Order says in part, “The Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the appropriate departments and agencies within the Intelligence Community, shall take all appropriate action to review the activities of the Intelligence Community over the last 4 years and identify any instances where the Intelligence Community’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the National Security Advisor, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order.” {source}
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been working on this for nine months.
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, heads the Interagency Weaponization Working Group (IWWG) which has been meeting twice a month to coordinate efforts at identifying, targeting and removing people and systems who have abused their authority and weaponized government institutions. The IWWG consists of key people from DNI, DOJ, FBI, Dept of War, IRS, FCC and DHS.
As the Gabbard group begins taking action against the internal silo administrators and corrupt actors, the media are beginning to focus on the group. As a counterattack they construct a narrative that the IWWG is President Trump’s personal targeting team.
(REUTERS) – A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Justice and Defense Departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission, among other agencies, two of the documents show.
[…] Several U.S. officials confirmed the existence of the Interagency Weaponization Working Group to Reuters in response to the questions and said the group’s purpose was to carry out Trump’s executive order.
“None of this reporting is new,” said a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
ODNI spokeswoman Olivia Coleman said, “Americans deserve a government committed to deweaponizing, depoliticizing and ensuring that power is never again turned against the people it’s meant to serve.”
The existence of the interagency group indicates the administration’s push to deploy government power against Trump’s perceived foes is broader and more systematic than previously reported. Interagency working groups in government typically forge administration policies, share information and agree on joint actions. (read more)
Still one of Trump’s best picks. Godspeed!
The EPA and DOI guys are doing an outstanding job as well.
The EPA is working on removing CO2 as a predicate for controlling industry and the American people. When that happens there will be a massive disturbance in the force that every Star Wars fan will feel.
She’s next in line to the President on the CIA’s to do list.
Yes: it surprised me how great Tulsi is. And Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Scott Bessent, Lee Zeldin, Doug Burgum, etc
. . . I just hope the Deputy AG, Todd Blanche, measures up.
Please make some big important arrests and perp walks in handcuffs and leg irons.
Big important mysterious suicides or accidents would work as a consolation prize if DOJ remains not up to the task.
Except that would not really change anything as it would only amount to more of the same.
No. DOJ must step up. It’s not optional. Todd Blanche may need to be replaced.
For sedition?
A few Mussolini neck ties are in order!
Brennan referred for criminal prosecution:

A good fish, there. Bring on the ‘discoveries.’
You win the web today with your handle.
Tulsi in my prayers every day
I swear these stupid news articles from Reuters and the rest are all written by Ai.
yea they quote the ODNI spokerperson then say some shitty comment directly after it like it was from her…
Tulsi Gabbard is a surfer, she knows how to “Hang Ten”.
She’s totally righteous brah!!! I think she still rides short boards and has lots of tricks up her sleeve!!! God Bless her!!!
And she makes turns on a snowboard..
💞
Comie don’t surf!
Like snakes, IC players are dangerous even after the heads come off. Thank goodness, Gabbard and Rubio couldn’t be more of a surprise in their respective capacities.
Right now the people’s enemies still have money and a mic, but their effectiveness dwindles as the public discourse about their corruption expands.
their tools they use to manipulate become a noose for them later.
using the media to manip the population may work, but if they use any DOW data they are finished.
They have both been stunning.
would the narrative ” PDJT is targeting the ones that targeted him” work to cut their thunder in saying he is being political…
or does it even matter anymore, they are going to do whatever evil they are going to do whether its hidden perfectly or flat out obvious
“nah, come on, if anything, at it’s worse, he is just targeting the people that targeted him.”
Funny how this same story could have been written about the J6 Kangaroo Kourt.
$5 says the autopen won’t be issuing blanket pardons in January of 2029.
“A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Joe Biden’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.”
maybe if the puppets at Reuters were doing their jobs and not parroting IC political messaging these interagency groups would not have to exist.
“….Trump’s perceived foes….” are those of the people.
“Perceived”…
There’s that subtle manipulation of language again.
All in aid of labeling him as mentally unfit, deranged, paranoid, etc.
Insidious.
“unproven claims” you’ll see if you have the stomach to open up that actual Reuter link.
The “paid for Reporting News” is created of unstable evolutionary selected journalist that are bimbo boys or dominant airhead only-reader females
No shortage of those, is there…
I’m surprised that DOGE hasn’t uncovered how much USAID money was being given to Reuters/affiliates to push Biden/Obama IC propaganda worldwide. Would be shocking to have this uncovered./sarc
Reuters got a $9 Million contract from the Dept of Defense https://www.reuters.com/business/us-defense-department-contract-inaccurately-represented-social-media-says-2025-02-13/
That and Reuters issued a “non-denial, denial” about a DOGE report that they got money from USAID. Their words were that they “didn’t have a contractual relationship with USAID.” (That was not he accusation. It was not about contracts it was that they took money.) https://www.reuters.com/world/us/news-outlets-reject-trump-accusations-usaid-media-payoff-2025-02-07/
“Interagency working groups in government typically forge administration policies, share information and agree on joint actions.“
Which is PRECISELY what they’re doing, lol.
Reuters should be glad to hear that “retribution” simply means firing people who violated their oaths and abused their offices, and not the Democrat version of retribution…gulags and murders.
the airhead reporter was upset it wasnt just a giggle fest and they are moving to prosecution.
But it should be tried and prosecuted if necessary!
well Bolton withheld information that would have shut the Russia Russia stuff up way early.
he is being pulled to keep the RICO angle.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-emails-fbi-228607
oh really… was it a private server also
comey cleaned it up
hillary used it (blackmail) to get the clean up of her
i will never understand why this doesnt click in people’s minds
4th bullet says, hiding it with words wasnt enough. they had to omit it entirely
why would obama need a pseudoname in his email on a Gov email account he had that has his freakin name in it
Doing their jobs as their oaths require. This time next year there will be a complete turnover in DC elitist personnel.
These vermin are NOT “ perceived foes of DJT”- they are bonafide enemies of the American people and our democracy.
THIS ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ – !!!
Our democratic republic!!!
Yep
Our Republic…but 👍
I wonder if she has presidential aspirations?
She might be the one female I could bring myself to vote for.
Harriet Hagman (sp) either one or both
Re “She might be the one female I could bring myself to vote for.”
I have np problem with a woman president; but, if Gabbard runs and you vote for her, you will be helping her violate the Constitution. Apparently, you are not aware that she is not a natural born citizen and therefore not able to legally serve as president or vice president.
That Constitution stuff did not stop Barack Hussein Obama.
You seem to be implying that we should ignore the Constitution’s natural born citizen requirement because Obama has so far gotten away with violating that Constitutional mandate. Following that logic, we must also ignore laws against murder just because OJ managed to get away with that crime. Sorry, that is just plain silly…
you think we will get to the next President (question)
Gabbard? There is no question she aspires to be president. She has ALREADY run for that office once despite the fact that she’s not a natural born citizen; which, means she can never legally serve as president or vice president.
God bless and protect Tulsi Gabbard.
Amen!
“Interagency working groups in government typically forge administration policies, share information and agree on joint actions.”
In Statement Analysis, that is called slippage: the unintentional revealing of information the speaker wishes to keep hidden but accidentally reveals because the information is in his or her subconscious.
For example, the parent of a missing child who is under suspicion might say in an interview “I know there are a lot of rumors floating out there” because that parent put the child’s body in water.
Here the Reuters author(s) unintentionally acknowledge(s) Executive Branch policy is not “typically” controlled by the elected President but is determined by the permanent bureaucrats staffing interagency working groups.
The author(s) could have used many other words- shape, guide, develop, etc- but they chose “forge” because subconsciously they know this arrangement runs contrary to the principles of representative government and is illegitimate.
Read the entire article. No actual reporting, just things a TDS employee says might be true, because Reuters could not confirm anything they heard from the TDS sufferer.
The article was written so they could bash Trump on the weaponization of the past administration, and raise concerns that Trump is weaponizing government to go after his political enemies.
This is gaslighting and setting a narrative. News media is dead.
Right on,exactly why I never turn the TV on.I get all my news right here on CTH.
Ditto!
“…according to …a source familiar with the effort.”
Hence, let’s review the definitions of White, Gray and Black Propaganda (references the relative credibility of the source of the information).
its a 26 year old new hire getting a free drink from this journalist nerd
Actually some of James O’Keefe’s former operatives could be pretty useful in this push to flush out the useful idiots still ghosting through the agencies. A two headed approach, one from the criminal side and one from the media side could be really enlightening
“TDS sufferer”
Love it. Can I borrow this.
“News media is dead.”
Yes it is. The question is … was it ever alive?
Exactly!!!
Early on they mention a phantom White House “Official” speaking on condition of anonymity, and then “refer” to that source continually throughout the article.
I call bullshit every time I read something like that.
When Reuters says: “President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies” You know that means Justice for corrupt gov’t officials.
You and I know that but if the MSM repeats it often enough, the lie becomes the truth to their consumers. It’s a continuation of the Orange Man Bad narrative. (Mockingbird media brainwashing 101.)
The IWWG consists of “scape goats and traitors” from DNI, DOJ, FBI, Dept of War, IRS, FCC and DHS.
Rather than clean their own house, those agencies have foisted the heavy work to Gabbard. And they have sabotaged her efforts by their choice of personnel.
Bet those leaks and accusations come straight from the IWWG.
But it does explain how the completely dirty DOJ and corrupt FBI can get away with not cleaning house unless they are forced to do so. And only the bare minimum at that.
I wonder how much Susie Wiles was involved in setting up this betrayal of Gabbard, Trump and America?
Jim your point on not cleaning up DOJ and FBI has been stated so much so by everyone,,, that it just may be planned that way.
This government is so busy carrying out new orders, new directives, and new policy from PDJT that we all want everything done at once.
Maybe, just maybe,, the season hasn’t started yet for axe cutting to DOJ & FBI. Only the obvious leakers and fools are getting hit.
Would rather focus on the positive points, take it one day at a time, Hope and pray that we DO get to see the axe cutting take place at the right time. Besides we got 15+ million more illegals to deport. 1 illegal equals $, 1 illegal equals less housing, 1 illegal equals potential D voter. You get the point. But that list can go on and on..
There is no way that Bondi foisting her responsibility to clean up the DOJ onto Gabbard can be spun as a good thing.
That is true, even if Bondi sent ‘key people’ and gives the effort her support. An outside organization just can’t do a competent job.
Repeat for each organization and its leader.
And, this explains how those leaders can get away with not doing the needed clean up.
But seriously, as much as Kash keeps calling the stank and vile, good and honorable, how much do you think Kash and his FBI are going to permit Gabbard and her Working Group from criticizing or removing the problems?
I will not be surprised to see this as the key to destroying and removing Gabbard. This structure is guaranteed to fail a full cleanup and to generate antagonism against the effort.
“The existence of the interagency group indicates the administration’s push to deploy government power against Trump’s perceived foes is broader and more systematic than previously reported.”
what does this mean… and is this the ODNI spokesperson saying this, or sloppy report writing by Reuters. I’m assume the ODNI spokesperson didnt say it, so good job idiot Reuters. your AI makes it look like even friendlies hate PDJT
Reuters, did you get clearance to report this…. or is HEgseth coming for you
“The Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Justice and Defense Departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission, among other agencies, two of the documents show.”
what 2 documents
ALSO from Reuters shit article they say this to piss you off and make you want to mentally strangle them:
“Trump and his allies use the term “weaponization” to refer to their unproven claims that officials from previous administrations abused federal power to target him during his two impeachments, his criminal prosecutions, and the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
The interagency group’s mission is “basically to go after ‘the Deep State,’” the source said. The term is used by Trump and his supporters to refer to the president’s perceived foes from the Obama and Biden administrations and his own first term.”
unproven claims. unproven claims. its because your team usurped every government position like Hillary told her Alinsky guy (we must go in gov to change it from within, not protesting like a fool)
the source is 26.
they can lie, we can lie
(REUTERS) – A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.
“”Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies…”
Reuters sure can slant the news, but as usual, fails to report it, and certainly not in a timely fashion.
The IWWG was formed pursuant to Trump’s EO in January. Reuters reports it NOW, 9 months later. Why? Comey’s indictment? John Bolton’s? Or (hopefully) someone in the pipeline? Leading up to a smear campaign against the prosecution, perhaps?
God bless Tulsi Gabbard.
Puts her head down and gets to work. When she does give a press conference, it’s always substantive,
and it’s never “Look at meeeee!” Other picks should take note.
yea its an oh fk moment.
Bolton goes right to the dossier cuase the repubs were handing it around before Comey got involved. as they all knew it was bullshit before the first fisa
Clean out these agencies, shrink and consolidate them! Most are expansions of the same thing! 💁🏻♀️
Prison time….this stops when they see their fellow conspirators go to prison. These arent true believers like Trantifa willing to die for the cause…. they are macchiavellian cowards.
God bless you Tulsi.
REUTERS is the NYT version of CNN.
If only any body still read Reuters…..
DNC media does. thats what they will report on tonight. the report by this idiot.
Love the irony:
Get caught weaponizing the government, then condemn the actions that revealed your crimes as “weaponization of the government!”
The Swamp does not consider the lawbreaking to be a scandal. They are scandalized that somebody is actually noticing it.
So, the [XXX police department] is “targeting its political enemies” when it seeks to enforce the law?
In Washington DC, we have frankly become so accustomed to “organized crime” behavior within and between the Departments and Agencies of our Federal government that there are those who want us to simply become accustomed to it. Such that any law enforcement action that might be contemplated against them is: “targeting.”
Well, to my way of thinking at least: “if you are breaking the law, then you have painted a great big target on your backside.” (“Hell of a birthmark” – Gary Larson – but, I digress.) You painted it on yourself. And you deserve to finally get caught.
Fundamentally, our Government cannot operate if it is a den of Organized Crime. As it has now certainly become.
yea and that Genetleman”s agreement of letting Senators pick the state prosecutur is CRIMINAL. this conspiring and working together like a special club is complete bullshit
Wonder if there is a coincidence in the timing of this Reuters report with words such as “drive for retribution” and “perceived enemies” with the news today that a House committee has referred former CIA director Brennan to the DOJ with criminal charges for lying to Congress.
Media setting their narratives in place as Comey, Brennan, and am going to assume a host of others, are charged criminally for their weaponization of government agencies, instead of truth the woke will just say ‘see, Trump is making King moves’.
“a source familiar with the effort”
“a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity”
These and a host of different formulations to cover the fact of unnamed sources that may have no credibility. This habit in the mainstream media needs to be called out and their reporting discredited. If they had a reliable source and that person was prepared to go on record then other media sources could interview the person and cross check his or her claims. This is good journalism: doing your homework and providing either printed or recorded sources like James O’Keefe and other similar critical journalists.
Don’t forget that OBAMA signed the law which removed the restrictions, allowing American media outlets to supply propaganda to American citizens without disclosing it.
Today: If you “cite a source,” give us his or her name, phone number, and e-mail address. 🤡 (“Not entirely seriously,” of course …)
I see Brennan has been referred to DOJ today by Jordan for prosecution for perjury.
Typical Reuters fake news and disinformation, showcasing their severe Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“A group of dozens of officials… has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies…”
Perceived? They tried to blow his brains out!
then his chest out
Is the Reuters article stating that retribution is some kind of bad thing?
I can’t tell.
they are prepping the vulnerbale into being the front line dying for them.
I don’t know about Reuters, but in this case it is a moral necessity.
Good job and luck Tulsi. Just keep an eye on the helpers as some are just plants.
The shallow internecine spy vs. spy theater is getting stale, but anything to take the focus off the decimation of DoD Civilian workforce command structure and expertise by DOGE (DRPs and early retirements), leading into complete shutdown for 3 weeks with no end in sight. Who needs ’em, right?
Kneecapping the workforce responsible for provision of US military weapons and materiel, which have been depleted.
With a major energetics supplier blown up in Bucksnort TN recently, right on cue. Hmmm…
(It’s still DoD unless and until Congress renames it, meanwhile the DoW thing is a farce.)
Things always look easier from the stands than they actually are on the field.
If the press hates it, then that means it is effective.
God Bless Tulsi. Tulsi in 2028!
I would like to see the faces of all individuals in these meetings and hear what they say and how they say it.
It is truly pathetic, that during an era of great foreign and domestic threats to our nation’s security, we have to expend energy on traitors and moles within our own so-called protective agencies. Thank you, Barack Hussein Obama.
Degrade, Defang, Dismantle!
Get their minds right, Dir. Gabbard, Ma’am! You have the largest Torch and Pitchfork Brigade in the entire World backing you up.
What about the CIA, though?
The Reuters article came out two hours after this fox article that ODNI is promoting including an interview of DNI Tulsi
Be still my ❤️!
🤞
The swamp house
🧹 🪣 cleaning is so long overdue.
OK, here otbthe report on how they did their deeds.
Is there a report on how, once the holes are plugged, ways to get around the new standards.
Maybe look at how to be a crook and circumvent the good guys again?
“As a counterattack they construct a narrative that the IWWG is President Trump’s personal targeting team.”
Crybabies. The lot of ’em.
Wake me when the Trump admin unconstitutionally appoints prosecutors to raid homes and such. Then I’ll listen to the wailing.
TG is hands down the absolute best pick of this administration.
Lol, the press… they cant let go of the narrative of “perceived enemies.”
Never mind that they demonstrably broke the law & trashed their own agencies protocols & procedures. They’re just “perceived enemies.”
Damn right their enemies. Enemies of the United States & enemies of the people. If justice was a real thing, they’d hang by the neck until ☠️ but they won’t. Because it isnt.
Allegedly, the Reuters “source” personally recalls specific issues being discussed:
“other issues the source recalled being discussed
were the Jeffrey Epstein files, the prosecutions of Trump
advisers Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro,
and the possibility of stripping security clearances
from transgender U.S. officials”.
Reuters claims it “reviewed more than 20 government records and identified the names of 39 people involved in the interagency group”.
It is certain that these records are marked as classified or otherwise restricted in number and content. (Sort of like the Supreme Court Dobbs v Jackson case draft /s) Hopefully Tulsi Gabbard had the foresight to prospectively recognize the certainty of ‘leaks’, and accordingly discretely marked each copy in some detectable manner, so the perp ‘source’ could be identified.
Not fully apropos, but I recall that there was thief in a local school who was stealing from students’ wallets in their gym lockers while they were outside. A science teacher secretly applied silver nitrate to a wallet. When AgNO3 is on a person’s skin, the silver salt is slowly reduced to tiny silver metal particles, which turns skin black. Presto – the perp was caught ‘red (black) handed’.
Surely ODNI has more effective technology.
I watched live when God saved DJT’s life. I’m pretty sure PDJT knows what he is doing, which is following a Divine path. Woe be it to those that oppose him.
“A source familiar with the effort’ says that the group has been ‘helping to steer President Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies’. My suggestion: NAME THAT SOURCE. I’m tired of hearing about anonymous sources, who very possibly don’t even exist, except in the mind of the editorial board or reporter writing the story.
Many carped loudly about her, I had my doubts, but she’s kicking ass.
Awesome!
