During an oval office presser to highlight new clean coal initiatives, President Trump was asked about the interim appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.
The UniParty congress and DC stakeholder guardians in media have collectively been having fits about appointing Pulte as acting DNI. One of the main reasons for the apoplexy is a little understood aspect to DC that many people do not fully appreciate.
The Intelligence Community is upstream from most visible political events, and the IC control the Lawfare operations (investigations and prosecutions) as well as the behavior of congressional representatives in both the House and the Senate. The latter part of this reality was what Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was referencing when he said, “the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday to get back at you,” should you question or challenge their power and control.
President Trump responded to the media question about the Pulte appointment by reminding everyone it is an interim appointment while ¹interviews for other candidates are taking place. WATCH:
¹Positioning for potential placement in this critical position has likely taken on new levels of interest as the intelligence system -thanks to Gabbard- now sees just how powerful an actively engaged DNI could be. There are multiple names likely in the mix, hopefully the white house advisors to President Trump remain disciplined, pragmatic and accept the value highlighted by the effectiveness of DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s approach.
[Unfortunately, history does not favor my optimism]
California State Assembly member James Gallagher (R) won a special election on Tuesday, adding one more Republican to the House. [Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R) died in January] This gives a slight boost to the Republican majority in the House and could provide a window for current HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford to be considered.
IMHO with Aaron Lucas remaining as Deputy DNI, ideologically Crawford is probably the best replacement option. Former HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes is also a possibility, but considerations there get a little more complicated.
Regardless of who ultimately ends up as the DNI, if that person can’t be controlled by permanent DC they’ll be the “wrong” person according to all those with the most to hide.
Exactly right.
“He has no national security experience” means “he hasn’t done anything crooked that we can weaponize against him.”
I don’t know anything about Mr. Pulte other than his name, but I already love this pick!
DC – The only place where the “wrong” person is always the right person.
He’s going after them for mortgage fraud.
I have a feeling this was not all Pulte’s idea to check their applications , someone whispered into Pulte’s ear.
I have to wonder about Devin Nunes and if his involvement with Truth Social could be something the left would use against him?
No. No. No to Nunes. NO!
It sounds like Bill Pulte is an intelligent and honest man with a great work ethic and a zeal for carrying out President Trump’s MAGA agenda.
No wonder the media, the IC and the UniParty hate him. 😂
Uniparty doesn’t want Pulte.
That’s all I need to know to be confident he’s the right choice at the right time.
Me too.
Isn’t it funny that all of the people the uniparty hates are the only ones actually doing any good work?

And so, it logically follows that we aren’t voting our way out. This isn’t black-pilling, it’s realism based on math and logic.
Kennedy was right, both morally and economically, to want to scatter them to the wind, and they should be, with the caveat of no replacement.
Cheats always squeal like pigs when they’re out of control to cheat more! Love that President Trump knows how to pick this nominee!
The ODNI must never ever fall into dim or RINO hands in the future.
I expect every trick in the IC book to be in play this year and in 2028.
A certain faction of the IC will never be satisfied until tanks are on the national mall machine gunning down Patriots and we have our own Tiananmen Square massacre. They want the USA to be China and like it.
All roads lead to …..
You left out the funniest part where he dozed off for a minute! Come on, man!
‘ The Intelligence Community is upstream from most visible political events, and the IC control the Lawfare operations (investigations and prosecutions) as well as the behavior of congressional representatives in both the House and the Senate. ‘
Some would call this a Limited Hangout.
Where the actual situation is that in addition the IC controls more strategically consequential people as well. Including corporate and media figures, and past and present Presidents.
