The funniest part of the MSNBC report about the issue is their claim that Pulte has not been in office long enough to know who the Deep State embeds are. “I have a real question of how he would know this. This isn’t a guy who is familiar with intelligence,” said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing concerns about retaliation. “How is he going to get to the bottom of this and rely on any information with a matter of fidelity? It would be like me taking over a hospital and firing dozens of surgeons in a matter of days.” {source}
How could Pulte possibly know who to fire, they lament. The likelihood of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard and current CIA Director John Ratcliffe coordinating with ADNI Bill Pulte to clean house, just isn’t something all these former intelligence officials can fathom.
These silos are supposed to work independently to protect themselves, they likely think. The system is designed to keep each agency from coordinating action against the lower-level operatives, especially the liaison offices inside the ODNI. Bill Pulte is doing something they are just not prepared for.
It’s a little funny when you think about it. However, there were people in the comments section on CTH yesterday who were perplexed about Tulsi Gabbard visiting Washington DC to give a speech specifically about this issue. Perhaps people will realize there is considerable coordination and transferring of information as this transition is underway.
[…] Both former officials noted that Pulte’s office itself does not collect intelligence. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence receives it from the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and 15 other agencies. He said that CIA Director John Ratcliffe, for example, would know of such a problem.
“If there really was any serious withholding of information, the guy who would know this is Ratcliffe,” said one of the former officials. “He is in the inner circle. He and his analysts would be the first ones to know. If anyone would know about that alleged claim, it would be him.”
DUH!
A spokesperson for the CIA did not immediately respond to MS NOW’s request for comment.
A third former senior intelligence official dismissed the idea that intelligence officials would ever engage in such conduct.
“The intelligence community is comprised of committed professionals,” the former official said. “This is a fantasy. It only hurts U.S. national security, and it’s helpful to Russia, China and Iran.” (read more)
Speaking on a Defending Democracy podcast with her lawyer Marc Elias, Hillary Clinton said Wednesday, “I mean, I hope there are career and even political appointees, in various of the agencies, that are slow-walking or refusing to share information with Pulte.” Yet, here is MSNBC saying the withholding of intelligence never happens. Go figure.
WASHINGTON – […] Pulte, whom President Donald Trump tapped as acting spy chief in June, sent out notices of termination on Thursday to dozens of intelligence officials, MS Now reported, citing an intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
The intelligence official told MS Now that the Trump administration was removing officials “who they believe are deep state” and who have allegedly failed to provide complete pictures of available intelligence. (MORE)
Go for it.
MKULTRA??
The “bombshell” about MKULTRA” came from some sort of hearing spearheaded by UniParty Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.
I would caution against putting too much stock into anything coming from Luna. There are too many seriously important issues to focus on without going down a Luna rabbit hole.
👍 🎯 🎯 💯
General George Washington Salutes you Bill P
Let the terminations continue at a rapid pace. The electorate made this opportunity available. Exploit it fully.
I hope they fired the guy that wouldn’t give Tulsi the documents she needed to go to an important meeting.
Oh I agree! Just posted that myself.
He’s probably not authorized to fire personnel from other agencies like FIB, NSA, DIA, etc. At least not without a concurrent or co-signature from that agency’s Director.
Right. The document “non-printer” was on loan from a different Grubermint agency.
No, maybe not, but President Trump could make it a two-fer firing if the agency head refuses!!!
Not only fired him but took him out of the pension fund–no retirement, no health insurance, no life insurance but plenty of alone time (solitary confinement)!!
The Big Ugly finally hit!
Cut wide and deep surgeon Pulte!
The Kracken has finally been released.
Oh, I have a feeling this is more a lead into a grand finale.
We will hit the bottom of the swamp when the NSA mails every citizen the server that contained their personal effects and a gift card to buy a sledge hammer or one of Hillary’s magical cloths.
That would be me.
I hope the surgeon is using a chain saw
So two former officials wondered how he knew. Maybe their intelligence wasn’t that useful after all.
Then Tulsi yesterday gave one example of many she knew of. She wouldn’t share that classified info, would she?

Gosh,
It is like the NPCs never heard of a hand-off.
Guess this is their story and they are sticking with it.
How about the guy who wouldn’t give Tulsi the print outs she wanted for the President until he consulted with his boss? Bet he was fired!
Arrogance unbound in these people.
And hopefully his “boss” was fired too!
It’s a start!

I’ve been thinking that, but in relations to ending slavery. Thanks for the quote.
A spokesperson for the CIA did not immediately respond to MS NOW’s request for comment.
THE NERVE OF THEM!!😡
This is great and all. But – as with many other things – why did it take nearly 2 years?
Did President Trump really think that the very same people – who did everything possible to sabotage his first term – would play nice in round 2?
Because it takes time to find out who the “resistance” is? Because it takes time to fill out paperwork and do the “due process” to fire someone?
Here we are, having deep staters fired all over the place…. but it isn’t good enough for some. It never is.
I get it, for many on here, he can do no wrong. However, President Trump was sworn in nearly 18 months ago, after having already been in office for four years.
This garbage should have been relegated to the dumpster before his first day ended.
The “oh hes new, give him some time to weed out the bad actors” excuse doesn’t really fly anymore.
BS complaining about something good: 1) there should be more of it…. 2) it should have happened earlier….Geez. Hozers.
I know you are being sarcastic, however: YES – this should be everyone’s mindset.
We have a very finite window that is rapidly closing with each passing minute; God willing the Dems don’t take the Senate come November. However, (and call me a doomer all you like), the House is all but lost.
See my previous post highlighting the wisdom of Lao Tsu and an animated Bass-Rankin Christmas classic.
I apologize Observer. This was intended for TC.
Nothing is ever good enough for people like TC.
At the same time they complain “not enough and not fast enough,” they also entirely miss what has been happening for the last two years. For example, building a remarkable cabinet, remaking the economy, taking out the bloodthirsty mullahs and IRGC are huge steps. Add to that, creating new trade partnerships all over the world while also cleaning up old and ineffective agreements, and building new coalitions to take us into the future now that it’s clear the EU and Canada are in the process of self destructing. And on and on — it’s exhausting just listing some of his bigger achievements, let alone the smaller ones such as opening up the fishing industry, which he recently did.
All of this adds up to making we the people strong again and step by step taking us away from being subservient to the globalists who at least since WWI have been quietly taking over the world.
And he’s done all this fighting everyone of the corrupt and worthless leaders in other countries and in our country.
I am in awe of our President and pray for his continued success.
I haven’t ‘missed’ anything.
You’ll be on here in six months crying about the daily impeachment proceedings. People in the real world will acknowledge that President Trump certainly could and should have done more to root out the rats destroying this country, when he had the chance.
Does it appear Bill Pulte is the enforcer on behalf of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard? She uncovered the worst of the Deep State embeds but didn’t fire them until she was safely out of the rattle snake’s den. She certainly informed her temporary replacement, Bill Pulte who are the enemies within.
over/under on when a “judge” enters the chat?
Judge Boasberg…..Paging Judge Boasberg….pick up the white courtesy phone.
a new broom sweeps clean……………………….sweep on
More please. 🥰
Thank You Mr. President. 🤗🙏❤️
Thank You Mrs. Gabbard. 🥰🙏❤️
Nice 4th of July gift for Independence Day! Thank you, President Trump!
Que the lawsuits that will magically find their way to a “randomly” picked hard left judge: Boasberger, Upchutkin, Sullyvan, Alioops are all salivating for the opportunity to reinstate these creatures.
The Supreme Court just ruled that the President can fire ANYONE within the Executive branch for no reason.
Do you really think these cretins care what SCOTUS has to say about anything? They will dig deep into their sack of lawfare skullduggery and find something. Count on it.
The answer to that should be from the executive is the SC ruled on this we will ignore you. They are still fired, no pay, badges cancelled. And tell Boas or Sparkle or whoever to stuff it.
Too bad helicopter rides are not an option.
Bus transportation to GITMO is an opttion
So many happy things here !
“The DNI has access to everything, everything that they want to see,” said Clinton. “I mean, I hope there are career and even political appointees in various of the agencies that are slow-walking or refusing to share information with Pulte.” – Hillary Clinton
Even our favorite fake news CNN stated that Hillary Clinton’s comment seemed a little “Deep Statey.”
Damn I am going to make a cocktail.
Excellent news and a good start for Pulte.
Thank you, Tulsi!!! <3 Hopefully, we will one day call you President Gabbard.
MSNBC is not familiar with intelligence— in any meaning of the word
👍
When the ‘intelligence’ agencies *really* clean house and fire their Information Warfare Special Operators, militarized PsyOps attachments assigned to ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX/CNN/MSDNC/ NYT/WaPo/AP/Newsmax/the entire media landscape, as well as assigned to the media conglomerate entertainment divisions in Hollywood and Nashville, when Pulte gives them the boot then we’ll have a chance of recovering our nation.
Not to hold Putin out as an example, but to hold him out as an example, when the ‘special operations’ in Ukraine began he discovered lots of USAID embeds in Russian media. They were stoking anti-Putin, pro-Ukraine dissent, trying to get the Russian people to rise up against Putin. He kicked them out, asserted national security, lots of whining and moaning in western media, but the Russian street settled down and began to strongly support the war effort.
Trump/Pulte could similarly ride out the bitching and moaning. It goes to show that the media a population takes in becomes its values, pretty quickly. Remember how quick people went from never wearing a mask or shutting down society for a flu, to demanding it? Media. And the legacy US media is completely controlled by national security intelligence agencies. 100%. Remember Hannity busted with his CIA lapel pin? The BS story it was just a gift. B.S. Special Operator, Information Warfare detachment.
Godspeed, Mr. Pulte. There are people who need to be put on a different career path, and soon. Like the guy who printed out a large format item for DNI Gabbard to give to POTUS, but then locked it in his desk because he did not agree with the assessment.
Grab a toilet brush, dude, and get to work, as that is your new position. And it better be clean when I use it or you’ll do it again.
God bless Bill Pulte!
Bureaucrats, lol
Yay! Finally some tangible action! Only about 1.5 million deep staters to go.
I love his smiling face
.
A nice Independence Day Eve gift to the nation.
Bill “The Pulverizer” Pulte.
I hope Warner is sharting in his DSA panties.
Have the lawsuits been filed yet? Assigned to Boasberg’s court?
Bill Pulte has such a sweet smile! Makes me want to hug the guy. Godspeed to him!

Washington, DC version of COMMON CORE MATH
IMO a fitting act right before this Holiday!
Their just reward for unfaithful service.
Given that for purposes of discussion 911 was not an inside job…The IC does not appear to have two brain cells to rub together. Of course “pretending” makes a lot of sense here. Can anybody be this stupid? I submit, no they cannot. Cue Eric Clapton. (see he wrote a song about pretending) (I crack myself up)
Get’m Big Bill!
Fire every biden carryover from the DOJ, FBI, CIA and SOS who is still in your department.
Yesterday wouldn’t be too soon!
Just Remember–these roots go deep. Real deep. Look out for who is winging the wong number in China.
Name them. The American people need to know who the traitors are.
Anyone in the IC who honestly believes that none of their colleagues would ever slow-walk or refuse to share information is definitionally unqualified for any position with the word “intelligence” in the job title.
