WASHINGTON DC – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council – whom whistleblowers describe as “radically opposed to Trump” — and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any “politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn’t immediately find contact information for Collins.

Collins also has whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and “deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration,” officials said.

Now do their entire staffs down to the person who emptied the garbage cans.

And strip them off their security clearances while you’re at it.

Rep. Collins was invited to speak on campus by the University of Georgia Turning Point USA chapter and College Republicans. His remarks, however, were drowned out by protesters screaming profanities and insults.

Collins attempted to discuss the recent death of Laken Riley, who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant while jogging at the University of Georgia.

One student yelled “How dare you come on this campus and exploit Laken Riley’s death to push your xenophobic, fascist, racist, agenda…people are in this country legally and your f–king cops are gonna get them arrested and deported.”

Others just shouted profanities like “F**k you, you’re a b***h” or told the congressman to “take your white supremacist rhetoric elsewhere, your neo-nationalist rhetoric elsewhere.” Others attacked him for his support of Israel.

“It’s taking her time to clean house. Could not have expected otherwise.”
Exactly! It’s going to take time and effort to root out all of the bad actors.

Gabbard and Rubio were the ones I least trusted. Turns out they are the best ones so far.

Yes, and we have to figure 90% of those in the intelligence community are aligned with the James Clapper school of thought and are vehemently anti-Trump.

“Gabbard and Rubio were the ones I least trusted. Turns out they are the best ones so far.”
I thought the same thing, I was very concerned about Rubio being SOS. It turns out that he has really stepped up and done an excellent job so far. Gabbard has done an excellent job as DNI as well.
