The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) delivered the “read and return” intelligence report to congress that sits at the background of an anonymous whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence, DNI Tulsi Gabbard. [CBS Story] In addition to delivering the report, the ICIG also delivered a declassified letter outlining the framework of the backstory [SEE HERE].
I strongly urge people to take a few minutes and read both links above, particularly the pdf of the ICIG report that frames the complaint. In essence, the same playbook the IC tried to create the impeachment narrative against President Trump (2019), they repeated against DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Now, the story gets a little weedy, so at the risk of yet another subpoena for outlining highly classified intelligence information simply by using public sourcing information and strategic brain mapping to put dots together, the easiest way to explain what has happened is to tell the big picture story of it.
People opposed to President Trump inside the National Intelligence Council (NIC), which in 2025 was a sub-silo inside the CIA, wrote an analysis saying the Venezuela gang ‘Tren de Aragua” (TdA) was not officially affiliated with the Venezuela government. Therefore, when President Trump and Secretary Rubio defined TdA as an officially recognized terrorist group, the analysis was intended to separate the TdA violence from the official U.S. policy toward Venezuela.
[The NIC is the “federal agency” being described in the media reports. I suspect the report’s authors were Mike Collins and Maria Langan-Riekhof or close associates therein.]
The “highly classified” component to the analysis, the part that intentionally skewers the telling of the story, is almost certainly the sourcing for the NIC analysis.
Here I would estimate with 90%+ confidence, that a CIA asset within the Venezuela government was the source of the intelligence saying TdA is not officially aligned with the Venezuelan govt. That CIA asset could be someone very close to former dictator Nicholas Maduro, or someone currently inside the transitional government. That source makes the component to the NIC analysis “highly classified.” [However, it also fulfills the goals and operational agenda of the people who want to weaponize the “whistleblower angle.]
Now, I want to break out a component here because it is directly related to the reason for anti-Trump IC to manufacture this official CIA-NIC analysis. Remember, Judge James Boasberg’s argument against deporting TdA members was based on his refusal to accept the deportees were designated terrorists. Venezuela would not take them back, so President Trump sent them to the maximum-security prison in El Salvador.
This is where the policy of the Trump administration runs into the lawfare created by the manufactured CIA analysis. The IC aligns with Lawfare. Insert the familiar name Mary McCord here and you will see why momentarily, including her personal relationship with Judge James Boasberg who appointed Mary McCord as amicus curiae to the FISA Court.
The CIA analysis says TdA is not an official agency of the Venezuela government. This becomes a hot button issue around the deportation of the TdA gang members as terrorists. Trump, Rubio, Noem and Homan using the designation to facilitate fast removal and deportation, while Lawfare operate using the technical definitions of “terrorist group” against the intentions of the administration. That’s the baseline for the construct, and that also explains why Judge James Boasberg doubles, triples and quadruples down against the DOJ on this issue.
Now, the NIC analysis report, by itself, is useless when the CIA (Ratcliffe) and DNI (Gabbard) ignore it and accept it for what it is, political interference in policy. However, the report authors don’t let the ignoring stop their efforts. The authors then leak the existence of the report to media, and that’s exactly what happens. That’s why CBS’s Margaret Brennan was armed with talking points to confront Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The NIC authors then shift into Lawfare mode, claiming to be whistleblowers because their analysis is not being shared with the larger intelligence community. The CIA/NIC authors claim national security is threatened because the Trump administration is continuing a policy toward Venezuela that is against the operational intelligence they have gathered. This part is weaponizing intelligence using inside DC Lawfare rules.
This failure to change policy, then creates the “whistleblower” standard within the intelligence community that is then handed to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). The ICIG then has to take the whistleblower report, confront the DNI and investigate whether there is any substance to the complaint. Which is what happened:
[SOURCE]
Acting ICIG Tamara Johnson then determined the initial whistleblower complaint was baseless, in that the allegations surrounding why the report was not widely disseminated and/or used to change policy were presumptuous.
Keep in mind… In real time in the background, according to both Secretary Marco Rubio and Joint Chiefs’ Chairman Dan ‘Raisin’ Caine, the Dept of War was organizing, training and deploying military assets to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. So, while this NIC report was being debated and reviewed, the White House was already executing a “highly classified” policy objective toward Venezuela.
The reality of what was taking place, explains the background timing outlined in the ICIG report linked above as it pertains to Venezuela operations conducted by the White House and the Pentagon. Once the Venezuela operation was completed the policy changed.
Back to the Whistleblower: The “whistleblower” claim of the DNI impeding the dissemination of NIC intelligence work product now becomes the attack vector to target DNI Tulsi Gabbard. The raw intelligence, likely a CIA asset inside the Venezuela government, now becomes the extremely sensitive aspect that creates the useful cloud to be weaponized.
Now does the statement of DNI Spokesperson Olivia Coleman make more sense: “This is a classic case of a politically motivated individual weaponizing their position in the Intelligence Community, submitting a baseless complaint and then burying it in highly classified information to create 1) false intrigue, 2) a manufactured narrative, and 3) conditions which make it substantially more difficult to produce “security guidance” for transmittal to Congress.”
As stated by HPSCI committee member Rick Crawford earlier this evening: “House Intel has received the letter from IC IG Fox on the alleged whistleblower complaint, and the Ranking Member and I, along with the appropriate staff, have had the opportunity to review the complaint. After doing so, I concur with the conclusion that the Biden-era IC IG, Tamara Johnson, reached regarding the non-credible nature of the complaint and the re-review that the current IC IG, Chris Fox, conducted, reaching the same conclusion. The ensuing media firestorm—fed by speculation and little fact—was an attempt to smear DNI Gabbard and the Trump Administration. This is the same deep state playbook used by the fake whistleblower that sparked the first Trump impeachment witch hunt, even using the same lawyer. The deep state works hard, but DNI Gabbard and her team work harder. You know you are right over the target when they are deploying every tool in their arsenal against you.”
So that’s the basic story, but as with all things in Washington DC, you find more.
What you will note in this current IC “whistleblower” operation (Venezuela), is the same playbook used in the prior IC “whistleblower” operation (Ciaramella, Ukraine).
The first IC/Lawfare operation was to impeach President Trump, the second IC/Lawfare operation is created to form the baseline to impeach DNI Gabbard. Both Trump and Gabbard represent an existential threat to the IC construct within government. [Which is exactly why I was outlining the importance of the Trump National Security Advisor and DNI back in 2024.] The IC is the “seven ways from Sunday” real threat.
Within this current ‘whistleblower’ operation we again find the fingerprints of the Lawfare architect, Mary McCord; who, even in her invisibility, becomes present when you look at the associations and the approach. This context becomes more of an ‘ah-ha’ moment when you overlay McCord’s relationship with Judge James Boasberg and then review the extreme antagonism of Boasberg toward the administration when it comes to the TdA deportations.
I hope everyone can see the full story now. This is how DC rolls.

“Read and return” thanks to VA Sen Whiner.
There isn’t a decent Democrat anywhere around D.C.!!Ne wonder why they need voter fraud to get anywhere!
QUESTIONs: Has Joe Kent seen any of this info, if you can say, and is any of your work responsible for the release of the “read and return” report?
It would appear that these same bad actors are making mistakes. And as with all things Trump, his genius is to force them into making more.
this intrigue becomes clear once one slows down and reads carefully while connecting the players with the judges, departments etc.
the administration needs to have pdjt or a sidekick at an Oval Office press gaggle lay out the lawfare using a visual whiteboard etc. naming names, departments, judges etc.
people are visual. Connect the dots with a ven diagram. Make it simple with the purpose of the lawfare laid bare.
target the “enemy” > freeze it > expose it
Do you mean a “whiteboard” a la Karl Rove?
Say it ain’t so…
Like Glenn Beck
But a large board with visible players, connections makes it more understandable.
No more like Glenn Beck.
Subpoena Boasberg’s communication records.
It will lead directly to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, therefore it will need to be hidden for the “good” of the country. That is how DC rolls!
Vindicating DNI Tulsi Gabbard
It doesn’t matter to the Democrats. It will never be allowed by the liberal media. It isn’t even about Gabbard, it is about everyone in he Trump administration. The Democrats want to destroy them, paint them as criminals, impeach them and put them in prison with whatever made up crimes they can come up with. You can insert what ever Trump administration appointee you want. It is all about delay and running out the clock on Trump.
Same with Noem, they could care less if Noem stays or goes, but if they can get rid of her and obstruct another confirmation that slows down Homeland Security which in turn slows down ICE.
They want RFK gone too, the Democrats won’t get their kickbacks and campaign donations with him as secretary of health and human services so they want him gone too.
And the Progressive Starchamber grows ever darker and more ominous.
This time it’s a different playing field. The DS tactics remain the same. The people and the pushback against it, isn’t.
Read the ICIG letter (Pg. 3) takedown of acting ICIG Tamara Johnson and the faulty thought processes that framed her determinations. This leaves brains splattered all over the Lawfare cubicle as well as the Schiff/Warner faction in Congress
Nice visual.
I again wonder what use, if any, is Ratcliffe in all of this?
At best, he appears to at least NOT be part of the active measures the CIA is using to get Trump.
But he sure does seem reluctant/fearful of doing ANY housecleaning in the Agency he allegedly runs…..
……Oh, is he still at the CIA?
Who? Oh the guy that was my “controlled opposition” US Representative and now fills the same role in the IC?
In Director Ratcliff’s defense … he has NO control over the the “Whistleblower” process as well as little to no control over an IG investigation.
On the other side of ledger … the actual report … setting aside peoples like and dislike of Director Ratcliff;
So, Director Ratcliff was supposed to comment on a highly classified report, in public??
Also, was Director Ratcliff supposed to publicly comment on an equally highly classified FBI INTEL Report (reported by Secretary Rubio) or publicly comment with a comparison of the reports??
If he had, the firestorm created would have been worse than the whistleblower episode.
Would we even know if Ratcliff were quietly asking the mandarins to retire? He did after all help with the transfer of the NIC to the ODNI, or a least not object.
Thank you once again, sir.
I’m exhausted. I’m war fatigued. Going into year 2, and no accountability. Let’s see what happens but Trump can’t finish his term without some serious consequences or they will take it to keep it forever.
I was thinking last night wondering if ignorance is bliss. Thinking of folks in 1950s, 60s, 70s when similar was going on and nothing was done to stop it. Now so many know so much stuff and still nothing is done to stop it or people face consequences (John Brennan, Peter Strozk, Adam Schiff, et al). I do like knowing stuff, but it is teeth grinding maddening knowing GOPrick RINOrats wing of the UniParty won’t do anything.
The GOPrick (great term, btw) wing = GOP = Uniparty = Demonrats = Communists
They are ALL THE SAME. At this point in our history, they (the entire CONgress, the Judiciary branch, most of the worker bees in the Executive Branch, the cities, the blue precincts, the universities and colleges, the teachers unions, media, ” entertainment”, liberal churches, and dogcatchers — they ALL stand opposed to the foundations of this nation.
Once one’s head is wrapped around that, the teeth grinding lessens. Once one accepts that the ONLY force that will save us is God, His Son, and the Spirit — the triune God, then things fall into place.
How do you get accountability with corrupt judges?
Arresting the evil doers and the judges throwing the cases out or finding the Trump administration in error every time only emboldens them. We are in the midst of a judicial insurrection in the lower courts, because they know everything can’t go to the Supreme court and the higher court has no means of punishment. We also know they will never be impeached because this is political and no Democrat will vote for impeachment of their useful idiots.
The only real answer is to do what the Democrats accuse Trump of everyday. Become an authoritarian, ignore the Constitution because the Democrats are doing that already and start locking up liberal judges and politicians. I don’t see that happening, yet. Maybe near the end of Trump’s term?
It’s looking like that is the only route. And I’ve thought about it many times. Bukele has said out loud, the only way to stop this is by arresting all the judges. Time is of the essence.
That is not the route the to take. The Founders provided the alternative route in the Declatation of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
…
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Is it approaching the time?
IMHO, we may be watching this happen in real-time…but don’t just watch!
The Deputy AG fired the person President Trump appointed to do just that if I am not mistaken.

Sorry forgot link.
Thank you Sundance.
It boggles the mind that elements within our government don’t give a rat’s patootie that a violent gang in our country was killing people and needed to be removed. They don’t care about child sex trafficking. They don’t care about the drugs. They don’t care because ALL they care about is political control. They are venomous snakes whose heads need to be removed.
What would boggle my mind is that stuff like this wasn’t going on.
Why do I say that?
Because we’ve got two generally opposing views of how this country should be run.
One model is the Constitutional one.
The other is some form of rule via socialism, communism, oligarchy, or plutocracy.
I like plutocracy the most.
Plutocracy:
Examples & Usage:
Enjoy your day.
Or this….
Malignant parasites…
That kill the host.
The Peter Principle writ large.
I’m curious sir.
Why do you like plutocracy best?
You favor it over our original Constitutional form? What makes this form of government for us less appealing to you?
Or perhaps I missed the /sarc tag?
I think OV-10 meant that plutocracy is the version/system of the control the deep state is using against the Constitutional Republic. The bureaucratic deep state is just the tool of the plutocrats.
Well if the gangs are working for the CIA…..?
It’s not that they don’t care. They care very much that destructive elements (TdA, BLM, Antifa, Somalians, anti-ICE rent-a-mobs, the funders behind the scenes, etc) be allowed to ferment and foment, for that advances their plan to seize absolute power.
As the 1960s agitators said, you’ve got to break eggs to make an omelette.
I thought Stalin said that.
Connecting the dots, I conclude McCord and Warner (among many others in the federal government) are either operatives of or are otherwise under the control of the CIA.
Sundance, something I hope you would at some point point take on explicitly – what is the CIA’s true mission statement? What exactly is it that they are trying to accomplish?
CIA is for foreign countries ans NSA is for CONUS (Countinental US) What the titles says, Intelligence gathering! WTF is CIA doing in CONUS??????
“this current IC whistleblower operation (Venezuela)”
…and the…
“playbook used in the prior IC whistleblower operation (Ciaramella, Ukraine).”
A major difference between these two whistleblower operations is that one of the main parties (Maduro)
is in the custody of the Trump administration and not under CIA control…
The CIA operation does give fodder for deep state operatives to utilize politically against the Trump administration,
but it also makes “deep state plausible deniability” less strong.
Soooo….
Venezuela is at the heart of SOMETHING BIG……
Otherwise, why expend so much effort at protecting it’s assets……
Venezuela is the key to MANY, MANY TREASONOUS THINGS….
So many, that if uncovered, would result in many, many birdfeeders…..
Venezuela is the key….and I’ll bet Madero is singing like a bird……
For the vote thieves, and those who support them….
NO MERCY!
Waterboard ’em!

So is it “job security” or “the right price”?
Having worked for 30 years for a large governmental entity, I was aware of a small network of non-heterosexual actors who were extraordinarily loyal and tight with one another within the organization. Their loyalty to one another exceeding their loyalty to the organization or their job requirements or personal ethics.
My wild guess is that this is what is going on here between
Mary McCord and Judge Boasberg, Mary McCord has always looked like a man to me. I don’t know if Mary is a so-called “transgender” or a cross-dresser or a lesbian. Boasberg looks awfully light on his feet as the saying goes or feminine. Question: Are they part of an LGBTQ mafia within the IC and judiciary? (Maybe add in John Roberts)
Ms McCord needs to be among the first arrested and tried for TREASON….
And convicted and sentenced accordingly.
I am convinced that unless and until public executions of perpetrators of the various coup attempts against us, We the People, across all levels of government occur, thi ship will not be righted and will founder on the reefs.
And the more public executions of the traitor, the better. Both for punishment and warning.
The penalty should echo in the halls of history for a 1000 years…..
The creepy stuff that you’ve described is similar to what went on — still is, but maybe not so strong — in the upper circles of the Ohio Republican Party. Heard some Trump-hating screechings yesterday from past Gov John Kasich. Don’t forget that Ladies Underwear Mogul Leslie Wexner quit his Republican Party registration shortly after DJT came on the scene as a candidate in 2015-16. Wexner still gives $$$ to those he approves of, and can control, like he did with DeWine and Kasich. It was a real “boy’s club” back earlier in the century. I did see some of this activity where a boatload of Party insiders visited a town where the mayor was both Repub and gay, no secret then and he’s dead now. They had some summertime fun that weekend! Recent activity like the Springfield OH Haitians cat-eating and the Somalis’ “businesses” in Democrat-run City of Columbus just ooze sleaze, both sides.
Not sure how much this splashes on VP Vance or newly-elected US Senator Moreno. Vance’s connections and campaign money came from outside the state, and he’s also a Cincinnati-area guy, out of the C’bus orbit; Bernie Moreno is also a bit of an outsider, coming from running a car dealership near Cleveland.
Also, THE Ohio State U. is in a big fuss right now with protesters wanting Wexner’s name removed from an athletic center. That’s a whole other scandal that’s being refreshed with the release the other day of tons more Epstein paperwork.
Until the day someone comes along and proves the exception, I believe that every politician that has a meteoric rise from obscurity glows in the dark.
We have to clean our own house….
Before we can clean the people’s house…
Kiddie Diddlers?
Interesting observation. If not a component organization itself, maybe a cultural tic, or a tell of the bigger one(s)?
I hope it is not the case, but if the President leaves office and there has not been accountability for so many things from the disgusting Epstein info, to Minnesota, to the corrupt elections, etc. I am going to feel very taken advantage of.
I will never vote again as I know a lot of people feel the same. I saw this as our chance, and still do, but time is running out quickly.
With no accountability on these things, the country will be in peril and the outcome of that is not pretty for Patriots.
It’s a shame these fake whistleblower complaints don’t lead to mass firings…
Thank you for this clear information.
Boasberg needs to go.
I pray the sunlight, growing and relentless resolve from patriots, public awareness, leads to justice, public shaming, and punishment — but most of all restoration of the designed function of our republic.
Brilliant article. Thank you, Sundance.
Absolutely agree. An astonishingly succinct, on point narrative example of the Washington Blob. This I can send to family and friends as an explanatory story of the problems. It explains itself with such easy clarity that the understanding stares you in the face.
Two Things:
1) The raw intelligence said the TdA was not “officially affiliated” with the Venezuelan Government. What were they looking for, some sort of written partnership agreement or a formal treaty? The pretext on its face is laughable.
2) Would you put it past the IC to make up the “raw intelligence” whole cloth in order to block President Trump’s plan? If I were DNI, I would want to speak with this “CIA source” directly to affirm the raw intelligence. Even then, see #1 above.
Certainly there’s a dossier out there, somewhere.
Calling some of these people Honorable in this day and what they have done and continue to do to this country and a President who is trying to break their backs is a F**king joke.
The first thing that should pop into anyone’s head when they reveal it is a “She” is Mary Mary the stooge.
Like I said yesterday, if they can’t impeachment her, or charge her with sedition, they will arkancide her,,and noem,too
I read the book name Stolen Elections, listened to a couple podcasts by its author and co-author who is a 40-year CIA vet with verifiable creds. The BLUF is TDA is indeed a para-military controlled by Maduro and is the top tier of a 2-tiered criminal org deployed to the US to run drugs, guns, humans, bribery, etc. The 2nd tier is thug muscle to implement the aforementioned mayhem. If the book is only half accurate there is a lot more be revealed about Venezuelan activity in the US. Georgia is the beginning I think. The day that Rafael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are recalled I will laugh my arse off.
There are two forces at battle in the world. One is good; one is evil. All of these power and blood thirsty war pigs will be judged if not here, in the here after. How do I handle the injustice which is so often so succinctly put in writing here at the CTH? I know Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father. All authority has been given to Him. He hasn’t given up on humanity yet.
A pox on all their houses.

They hired, appointed or created the court they are in …… they can just fire and / or defund the position / courts, as needed, to remove the dangers they pose to our Constitutional Republic.
It is time for the American citizens, to continue with the political housecleaning they started on 11/5/2024 and vote out every RINO in the 2026 republican primary elections and every democrat in the 2026 general elections.

It’s only half the battle to vote out the RINOs. You must also have a good replacement waiting in the wings who will run on a MAGA platform. Otherwise, you simply get rid of one evil in favor of another.

The CIA and traitorous senators and representatives have become espionage agents against We the People. Their money is being cut off. They stay in the US gubmint because they’ve told so many lies, they don’t know which one may come back and bite them if they leave from underneath the Gubmint Umbrella. They are not our fellow countrymen.
To all the traitorous creatures out there: You will end up on a stainless steel table, like the rest of us. People at your funeral may mourn the end of the money spigot, but they won’t mourn YOU being gone. Repent while you still can, save your soul while you still can. Do you really want to spend eternity in hell with the likes of Killary Clinton?
Case in point..Mitch McConnell. He looks like the walking dead, but he won’t let go and retire. He’s in the hospital now. Dianne Feinstein was the same situation. These people are so owned, they have to be miserable. I hope they are miserable. They deserve to be miserable. They test my faith every day.
“…This is the same deep state playbook used by the fake whistleblower that sparked the first Trump impeachment witch hunt, even using the same lawyer”
Good grief! Is the deep state is running out of lawyers to do the dirty work? It did not take long for the ranking members to throw this crap in the bin, meanwhile, Warner is throwing temper tantrums.
Mary Mc Cord reminds me of the song back in the 70’s I believe (?) Evil Women
Witchy Woman, the Eagles
Mentioned in the CBS story linked article is the attorney for the whistleblower. He’s….interesting:
“Andrew is a former intelligence officer assigned with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Office of Inspector General. In that capacity, Andrew conducted criminal and administrative investigations involving alleged fraud, waste, abuse or violations of law, rule, or regulation. At the direction of the Inspector General, Andrew developed a whistleblower reprisal investigation program to comply with Presidential Policy Directive 19 (PPD-19). As a subject matter expert in whistleblower reprisal investigations, he led CIA, the Intelligence Community, and the Federal Government in drafting regulations and guidance creating a whistleblower reprisal investigation program within CIA. In doing so, Andrew worked with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Justice.”

I hope everyone can see the full story now. This is how DC rolls. – Sundance
Is there a way to stop “how DC rolls”? Seriously can it be stopped or do we have to accept it and live with it? I have only one vote and frustratingly it’s never about how to stop the IC/deep state? The deep state is just waiting out President Trump and if the Democrats take control of the House this fall next year President Trump will be impeached and my guess is the Senate will go along with it this time! VP JD Vance is much less of a threat perhaps even a deep state player? JMO
Sundance, clouds over DC is nice, but I preferred Sauron’s eye as representative of the IC/CIA.
Nevertheless, this article clearly describes the type of bullshit the Trump Administration must endure everytime it acts on behalf of We The People.
Your bringing to light the truth of how DC politics works in that fetid and festering swamp, is amazing! You clearly have a situational grasp on conditions Trump must face. I agree Trump should be more aggressive in his pursuit of the enemies of the Rule of Law, and must purge himself of all weak-kneed individuals who are sunshine soldiers in this fight for the retention of Liberty.
I pray to God, daily, that your efforts continue. 🙏
My hands figuratively clasped with yours, as I join in prayer to our Holy Father.
Wow! Evil rears it’s ugly head. All this just to try to stop Trump and his plan to fix this country?
Sedition!
Will the stench from Boasberg ever leave us?
They already have his replacement somewhere in the pipeline.
How can a constitutional republic function without elected officials in control of it?
That question is at the heart of our current situation. That question is at the epicenter of this “new American democracy” that no one seems to understand. The simple answer is it cannot. We have been fighting this three-headed IC monster (DHS, DNI, DOJ-NSD) ever since. – Sundance
The people in charge aren’t elected officials.
And some of the elected officials with say weren’t probably elected , but installed through cheating.
I mean, who in their right mind would elect Lindsay Graham lol.
Fourty-seven years ago as I read Plato’s book “The Republic”, I was amazed at what a good country could become! I prayed to God that it would be that the US elected officials would follow those instructions and become that great! Then I entered the world as a young man. Five years later I realized it would never happen in the US or anywhere else, unless the country turned to God the Almighty.
Can a whistleblower with ill intent still be protected from consequences for setting off a witch hunt?
FILTHY LIBERALS
We have so much information and FACTS. But Sundance makes it clear it doesn’t seem to matter. NOTHING changes.
No Arrests. Bongino gave up, that tells me there is no hope in EVER seeing a Reckoning. President Trump will leave the country in great shape, AGAIN, and it won’t matter. He will fix things outside our borders, but the BARBARIANS are inside the gates with Demonic Democrat Masters.
ARM UP. Live your best life. You will never be this FREE again…..
Read and cry is a more apt description of what has happened to our beloved Republic.
Is Boasberg, a T&A overlord? Shan’t he be deported.
and the only reason this didn’t have legs is because the leadership of the alphabet org’s are trump people. picture the intel community as the intestines, and the ‘whistleblowers’ are pre cancerous polyps.
Great story, thank you SD!
From the article above and note the BOLDED and UNDERLINED Text provided by myself … “People opposed to President Trump inside the National Intelligence Council (NIC), which in 2025 was a sub-silo inside the CIA, wrote an analysis saying the Venezuela gang ‘Tren de Aragua” (TdA) was not officially affiliated with the Venezuela government.”
Question: was this actual wording or a very close approximation, because the phrase “was not officially affiliated” caught my eye??
First, this is a massive hedge phrase that is both a claim of fact as well as a disclaimer of fact.
Second, it leads one to scratch their heads to believe the Venezuelan Government would openly declare some sort of “official relationship”.
Third, during his interview with Marget Brennan, Secretary Rubio, specifically cited FBI evidence that linked the operations of TdA to the Venezuelan Government. This one indicates that the Phrase I cite was part of the INTEL Report at the heart of this whistleblower complaint.
In addition, this should blow a massive hole in the (illegal) opinion of Judge Boasberg, on appeal by the DoJ (if one is or was made).
IMO our deep state is affiliated with the Venezuelan government.
Sundance, Have you ever read this article?
She Fired the Firewall: Tulsi Gabbard’s War on the Shadow Chain of Command
The political class is furious. Intelligence insiders are leaking. And the usual media organs are howling about “overreach” and “chaos.”
Why?
Because Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just did the one thing no one expected—and everyone in power feared:
She fired Tamara A. Johnson, the Acting Inspector General of the Intelligence Community.

This is what I voted for!
In reading the article as well as the “Read and Return” Letter, one is lead to conclude that the criteria cited in the “Read and Return” letter has been recently changed to support the assertions of the Whistleblower Complaint .. after the Fact .. as was done with respect to the Ukrainian Impeachment attempt.
Question: Did the criteria in the Whistleblower criteria cited in “Read and Return” Letter actually change?
I ask this question because it will have bearing on future operation by the IC to remove President Trump and members of his Team.
The same people who tried to oust President Trump in his first term are trying to upend those who they think are the low hanging fruit in his second term, the women! Are they unaware of the term Steel Magnolias?!?
The team surrounding our President is strong, brilliant, committed to their duties and to the Constitution. There are no weak links.
Do your freaking job, Warner and company. We KNOW who you are!
