Tulsi Gabbard FIRES Intelligence Officials For Disagreeing With Trump

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently fired a pair of top-ranking intelligence officials after they produced and released a report that undermined Donald Trump’s rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act. The report said that there was no evidence to suggest that the Venezuelan government was directing gang members to come to the United States in any way, which obviously would mean that there is no valid legal argument to invoke the Act. Gabbard can’t have dissent in the ranks, so she fired the officials because they disagreed with Trump. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Recently, director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard fired two top intelligence officials from the National Security Council because they had put out a report that was for the federal government and then eventually was partially declassified and released to the public. But they submitted a report to the government itself saying that, Hey, uh, Donald Trump's rationale for using the Alien Enemies Act, invoking the Alien Enemies Act is actually not accurate. Um, so just want y'all know the rationale is definitely not correct because at the time, Donald Trump, of course, had said that we have these gangs from Venezuela. And he accused Venezuelan, uh, uh, president Maduro of sending the gang members here, telling them, instructing them to come to the United States and go do your gang stuff over there for the, uh, uh, trend UA like. And so these intelligence officials, Michael Collins, who was the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy Maria Lingen Reko, they basically put out this report for the government and they're like, listen, that's not happening.

Um, Maduro is not telling these gang members to go to the United States. He's not directing them, and they're not coming here because he said, go to America. Therefore, the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act cannot apply because it's not actually a hostile foreign country that is doing this. You know, the, these are just regular people coming here illegally and they need to be dealt with as such. You can't use the Alien Enemies Act 'cause there's no country or sponsor behind it, which Yes, is basically a requirement of the Alien Enemies Act. So sayeth the Supreme Court just a few days ago, even they didn't buy Trump's bs, but now we have firm confirmation that the administration itself was told you are lying to the public. And rather than changing course, once they had the confirmation that what they said was not true, rather than listening to these individuals and seeing what evidence they had to offer, Tulsi Gabbard said, oh hell no. You're fired. Get out. Apparently in Tulsi Gabbard, uh, office of the Director of National Intelligence, there is no room for actual intelligence. But most importantly, there is no room for dissent. So these two individuals who did nothing wrong, they're from a non-partisan group that intelligence experts tell us is vital. Their impartiality is vital to national security. Their,

They're now gone as a warning to the rest of the National Security Council. Go against Trump like these guys did, and you'll be the next one out the door. We only want intelligence that confirms our talking points. Well, gee, where have we heard that before? Huh? Oh, that's right. The last person. Not named Trump, but also as a Republican serving as president of the United States, we don't want the naysayers. We don't want the people telling us we're wrong. We sure as hell don't want facts and evidence. We want you to basically fix the intelligence to fit our talking points, which is what led us into the Iraq War. And that is what Tulsi Gabbard, who swears up and down that was horrible. And what the administration did was so bad. That's what she's creating right now in the office of the Director of National Intelligence.
