Elon Musk and his DOGE team aren't slowing down efforts to rid the federal government of waste, fraud, abuse and redundancies. But their actions are forcing the deep state into a corner and they appear to be plotting to strike back.
According to a report from CNN, CIA agents opposed to Trump and the goals of DOGE are planning to commit treason should certain actions be taken at the agency.
"Across the river in Washington, a senior career Treasury Department official delivered a memo warning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that granting a 25-year-old computer engineer with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access to the government’s ultra-sensitive payments system risked exposing highly classified CIA payments that flow through it," the report states.
"And on the CIA’s 7th floor — home to top leadership — some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service," it continues.
Last week President Trump urged Musk to get more aggressive with his mission, prompting an email to all federal employees to explain their accomplishments over the past week.
"ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE. REMEMBER, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE, BUT ULTIMATELY, TO MAKE GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAGA!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
Elon Musk: "If we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care, there won't be money for social security ... it's gotta be solved or there's no medical care, there's no social security, there's no nothing. It's gotta be solved. It's not optional ... that's why I'm here." pic.twitter.com/QyhJb7zyBy— unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) February 23, 2025
The new DNI Tulsi Gabbard needs to investigate this promptly. This coddled bunch has been out of control for a long time, hasn’t been accurate or effective for decades (witness 9/11, WMDs in Iraq, and the strength of the Taliban, to cite just a few), and is feeling way too full of itself.
It has been apparent since Trump won that we’re going to see a showdown. The bastards are not going away.
"When you chop wood, the chips will fly."
If they plot treason, they should be treated accordingly. The citizens voted for what they want and there are many more citizens than swamp ‘RATs.
You’re right. She needs to get to the roots and pull them out.
Not much point in worrying about secrets being given to foreign adversaries if the alternative is a dictatorship by government employees who refuse to follow the elected government.
Place you own bets. That is where I am placing mine.
The CIA must be purged and very quickly, before the resisters can organize any more plots.
The trials and executions can come much later, if needed to drive home the point. But dismissals should be in progress, RFN.
CNN says America cannot fire the bureaucrats because they will tell secrets.
Take what they know to a foreign intelligence service = Quid pro quo treason.
Yes.
What exactly does the CIA do, positively speaking, to help America? The agency has done a ton of bad stuff but if its purpose was initially to provide foreign intelligence, that could be covered by the Defense Intelligence Agency. Convert their facility to a park or residential housing.
I do not see a problem with firing them, there are plenty of trees around DC
“...CIA agents opposed to Trump and the goals of DOGE are planning to commit treason...”
“some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service”
Time to dig out some WWII stuff. Firing squad.
They are engaged in “seditious conspiracy”
Some are already telling secrets to CNN and CNN is complicit. Lots of pillow talk going on.
let me see if i can understand this: it’s impossible to EVER fire a CIA employee without risking treason from said employee, so therefore no CIA employee must ever be fired?
FAFO-——TRAITORS!
Trump’s got the message- in .223 cal.
He’s been Bloodied.
