It’s going to be Tulsi Gabbard vs Tom Cotton! [Patriots vs Sea Island] Remember this as we go forward. SSCI Chairman Cotton is assembling his weapons right now; he has no choice – Cotton accepted the role. Tom Cotton is now the “hand” of the Intelligence Community.

What happened to Mark Warner, Senator from VA? For so long, he was the dead-eyed, plastic-fantastic, robot voice of the Intel deep-state in DC. He's still around. When did that role switch to Tom Cotton?

i doubt Mueller Durham worked from anything but what was handed to them from files in place. according to press, this cache of dox was sequestered away from normal files. maybe to be destroyed, to be disappeared, to be hidden = but apparently misplaced because some think the MarALago raid was engineered to find the incriminating dox. they thought DJT had taken them - but they were still in DC. we’ll see if Kash can substantiate the MarALago raid reason rumors.

As a former federal prosecutor,

Every GD time - the deep-state marry their own. It's like a 21st century Hindu Caste system, centered in Washington DC.

The intel deep state merged with the domestic investigative/prosecutorial KGB deep-state (the DOJ)

There are some other tentacles involved, but... yes, and YES!

In a general sense, the focus should always be Swamp vs Non Swamp.

Anyone who has lived in DC, or been in politics, for over 6 years, is Swamp. And it takes 4-10 years outside DC or outside politics to eradicate the filth and become non Swamp.

Ahcroft et al? They are not “not bad guys”.

And Tulsi shouldn’t be some librarian, doing the bidding of Rubio and Ratcliffe somewhere down the line.

Some really bad takes in here.

He has it a little wrong. The DNI can bring CIA under her control with or without Ratliff’s agreement. And she is not just an internal counterpart to the CIA looking externally.

It is a cabinet level position. CIA director is not, and his agency falls under her control.

“The position is required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to serve as executive head of the United States Intelligence Community and to direct and oversee the National Intelligence Program. All 18 IC agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA), report DIRECTLY to the DNI. Other federal agencies with intelligence capabilities also report to the DNI, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation”

The structure, size and missions of our intelligence agencies is the biggest threat to America, bar none.

The German Reich only lasted 12 years, we have utterly eclipsed them. They only had the basic starting structure. Imagine if they has several decades to build several more layers of Reich security bureaucracies! How many million people do we have doing that filthy work? (Don’t forget contractors!)

Hell, we created CIA after WWII to coordinate all the different sources of intel. It was supposed to be a clearinghouse, not a secret lethal military branch, and not policy setting.

we created DNI to do the same thing. I guess after the next attack we will get a new layer overseeing everything we have now.... like a stack of bowls in the pantry.

Whatever composes her ovaries, she still has a set of brass balls on her desk.

Hope her security is really tight and professional.

It’s funny. Rubio & Tulsi were the least popular on FR. Those two are doing better job than any of the others.

This explains why Mark Warner is smearing Tulsi Gabbard at the Aspen gaggle. The entire Senate Intelligence Committee needs to resign. It was on their watch that all this Deep State skullduggery took place.
