On Tuesday Tulsi Gabbard fired two top officials leading the National Intelligence Council (NIC). This is a Deep State cleanout move by Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
The individuals fired are Mike Collins, acting chair of the NIC, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof. Both individuals are described as “radically opposed to Trump” by various whistleblowers. It seems that the two officials were aligned with the Deep State lawfare operation within the Intelligence Community.
Gabbard also moved the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence.” This is a small step into the reigning in of those who believe they are not accountable to the President.
This is the third step that has been taken to shake up the tectonic plates that underpin that side of the Executive Branch. The two other actions were the move of the ATF and the issuing of Executive Branch security clearances from the FBI to the Department of Defense (DoD).
All of this is good news and tells us that Ratcliffe and Gabbard are moving to clean up the stables so to speak. Of course, their job is far from done as many more treasonous individuals still reside within the Executive Branch. However, the public knowledge of what has transpired here, will help to loosen up more information about people who are undermining this administration.
The fact that John Brennan went on MSNBC to rail about the firings tells the world that Gabbard is over the target.

“This whole thing just makes me livid.”

If the level of John Brennan’s “rage” is any indicator, I would say that this may be Gabbard’s best move so far. Is Brennan afraid that “No One Is Above The Law” will be the song that ends his usefulness to the legacy media?
