There is little doubt at this point in time that DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been the most effective at delivering results for the American people. Actions speak louder than words and while many on the Trump team talk a good game, the results these two are obtaining outshine the rest of them.
Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA and removed those who were in charge. More recently Gabbard has detected politicization within the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s network.
For those who may have forgotten, Michael Atkinson changed CIA whistleblower rules in order to frame a false accusation against PDJT using CIA operative Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman. This led directly to the first impeachment effort against Trump. Atkinson’s testimony to the House impeachment committee was sealed and classified. No transcript has ever been released.
Gabbard is moving to clean up the ICIG network. From Sundance:
In the latest development, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has installed a key ally, Dennis Kirk, into the ICIG apparatus. Kirk is in place to monitor the political operations of the Intelligence Community and report to DNI Gabbard so that she can eliminate the bad actors. To say the Deep State IC embeds are apoplectic would be an understatement. The Inspector General system within the Intelligence Community is a critical control mechanism for politicization of intelligence.
The intelligence community is not pleased. The corrupt players within the IC realize that they can’t get away with as much illegal/unethical bullshit as usual and are pissed off because of it. They leaked to the Washington Post about how this would “compromise” the efforts of the intelligence community.
WASHINGTON POST – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard installed one of her top advisers to a position within the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the independent watchdog office while it is investigating the use of the Signal messaging app by top government officials to discuss classified details of a pending U.S. military strike against the Houthis in March.
Gabbard’s office bucked back at this description. Kirk was assigned to the watchdog office as part of the transition team and found “evidence of overwhelming and intentional politicization by the current IC IG team.”
The office’s leadership has “bucked President Trump’s directives” regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, “slow-walked responses to Congressional Republicans while prioritizing responding to Democrats, abused taxpayer dollars for personal purposes, and created a workplace environment filled with politically motivated action.”
This is the beginning of the dismantling of the fourth branch of government that is accountable to no one. And who put this in place? Obama in 2010. The ICIG has been corrupted from its inception.
Kudos to Tulsi Gabbard for beginning the take this silo apart.
