Acting DNI Bill Pulte is preparing to fire a "large number" of Deep State Intel Community members.
According to The Wall Street Journal, President Trump has urged Bill Pulte to "start the process" of firing intel officials.
President Trump said he wants to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
President Trump said he wants Bill Pulte, his incoming acting director of national intelligence, to begin the process of firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the U.S. intelligence community.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said he has privately told Pulte that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, which oversees 18 federal intelligence agencies and units, is “unnecessary and/or too big.”
“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said, pointing to holdovers from the Biden and Obama administrations. Asked whether he is calling on Pulte to fire people, Trump said he wants him to “start the process,” adding that his eventual nominee to serve in the role permanently should continue that work.
Trump stunned many of his own advisers when he said earlier this week that he was appointing Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as his intelligence chief. The move was met with skepticism from some Republicans on Capitol Hill, who raised concerns about Pulte’s lack of national-security experience.
President Trump this week announced he appointed Pulte to serve as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.
Bill Pulte is currently the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“How does a guy who knows house building know how to do this?”
This is difficult how???
Hired by Obama? check, Get the hell out.
Hired by Biden? check, Get the hell out.
LMAO, that is a quite effective first filter.
I don't think the Deep Administrative State agrees with that assessment.
Winning.
great news leaving even one of these commies around will be dangerous.. The DIA is the only constitutional spy agency.
It’s not a good idea to give advance notice of termination to people that know secrets.
Redundancy is useful for unearthing leakers.>>> True but i think most of the CIA and the rest don’t really know anything.
Perhaps they can be repatriated to their sponsoring nations.>> I like that China, Iran, Saudi, etc.
Take away their security clearances too.
Yes, someone loyal to Trump and The People would be threatening to Deep State intelligence types of the sort that should be early retired.
Cleaning up Fannie and Freddy was no mean feat. This guy has a reputation of being super smart and able to root out bad actors wherever he’s been.
If he manages to do this, I FULLY expect the remaining members with the help of the CIA et al to institute some terrorist attack on the homeland. After which they’ll say “We had heard whispers of this and were following up on it when all the people who were working on it were let go. So this was allowed to happen, and it’s all TRUMP’S fault!”.
0bama developed the nasty technique of hiring political appointees, and then transforming their jobs into protected Civil Service positions. He salted huge swaths of fed.gov with these operatives.
First: Round up EVERYONE involved in the destruction and sabotage of the Emigre Program. Fire their asses.
And the government lawyers that were involved.
Hatchet man cometh
“ This is difficult how???”
If a team is building a new airplane, I kind of want them to know what they are doing.
If you think your comment here reflects a process of reasoning beyond that accessible to out Stable Genius President, then your knowledge of the hierarchy of standards is extremely limited.
Your comments smell like communism in disguise.
His job will be to manage incoming intelligence from various agencies.
I believe Gen Flynn was going to fire many and consolidate departments.
Your logic is extremely elementary. Trump is ahead of you by about eleven moves.
That’s pretty much it.
