In The Middle Of A War, The Trump Administration Has Cut National Security Staffing In Half
-
The case for a strong, independent U.S. intelligence chief has grown more compelling as politics increasingly shapes the nation's spy agencies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/07/20/world/us-messes-with-spy-agency/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #intelligence #spying #odni #donaldtrump #dni #tulsigabbard #fbi #billpulte #maga #cia

Trump’s acting director of national “intelligence” fires 6 political appointees, removes dozens of career officials
Acting Director of National Intelligence #BillPulte has fired 6 political appointees put in place by former Director #TulsiGabbard & removed dozens of career intelligence officials from their roles, acc/to 4 sources familiar with the moves.

“The #DeepState #firings have begun,” the [dumb-ass 🤬] source said, declining to give details on how many #jobs had been cut.
Sources had previously told CNN that #BillPulte, the #Trump personal pick to serve as #DNI in [a conveniently] “acting” capacity, was looking at cutting hundreds of jobs at the #ODNI. Last week, #BillPulte showed up to his new job a day early after asking for a list of EVERY employee in the office catching even creepy outgoing director #TulsiGabbard off-guard.
-
SEVERAL court cases filed by Trump's lawyers failed to prove voter fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
#DNI #TulsiGabbard, who launched an investigation into the #VotingMachines & searched for evidence to support Trump's false election fraud claims, steps down on Friday. Stepping in as interim director is federal housing regulator #BillPulte. #Trump has said he wants Pulte to investigate “rigged elections” during his time at #ODNI.
-
The report, produced by the #ODNI [oh boy, that’s now #BillPulte], concludes that #VotingMachines could be further safeguarded by, for example, updating their software, the sources said. It does NOT say the vulnerabilities have led to votes flipping, but examines security gaps in how the machines are used during #US #elections.

But #Trump torched that plan in his social media post early Wednesday morning, just hours before Clayton was scheduled to have a confirmation hearing before the #Senate #Intelligence Committee. He said he would delay the proceedings, all but guaranteeing that #BillPulte would take the job at the end of this week as the acting director of national intelligence [#DNI].

#Senate leaders had sought to quickly confirm Clayton, hoping to clear the way for a bipartisan agreement to renew a #surveillance #law that expired last week. The bill to extend it collapsed amid the furor over #BillPulte, who has ZERO #NationalSecurity experience & drew withering criticism from both #Republicans & #Democrats. Some Democrats had indicated they might be willing to fast-track Clayton’s confirmation, eager to block Pulte from the post.
-
Critics argue Pulte's selection to lead U.S. intelligence reflects a preference for political loyalty over expertise, raising concerns that intelligence assessments could be tailored to fit the president's priorities. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/06/04/world/pulte-will-drag-us-intelligence-down/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #tulsigabbard #billpulte #directorofnationalintelligence #dni #donaldtrump #cia #defense

Oh my god. This is the guy who created those failed BS mortgage fraud cases against Trump critics. He didn’t have the experience for that job & he sure as shit doesn’t have the experience for this
#Trump announced Tuesday that he was naming #BillPulte, a home-building heir who runs the #FHFA, to be the acting #DNI, replacing #TulsiGabbard. The move is almost certain to draw criticism as #Pulte has no known experience in #NationalSecurity.

Bish’s brief visit to Washington — & accompanying media blitz — showed how #BillPulte, #EdMartin & their confidants are operating, with direct messages to strangers on social media & out-of-the-blue phone calls. And it revealed weaknesses in the mortgage fraud case against #AdamSchiff, one of the president’s Democratic foes.

#EdMartin & #BillPulte are not being investigated by a grand jury, according to a person familiar with the investigation…. Grand jury probes are just one way that officials can investigate conduct, though they are a necessary step in securing indictments.
Yet the interactions highlight the unconventional & sometimes erratic nature of the #Trump admin’s attempt to prosecute #Democrats on charges of mortgage fraud.
-
Prosecutors spent >1 hr questioning Bish Thursday about her communications with #DOJ ofcl [& #Jan6 advocate] #EdMartin, #FHFA Dir #BillPulte & others. They appeared to focus on whether these ofcls divulged information about the criminal investigation into #AdamSchiff to unauthorized people & repeatedly asked Bish whom she talked to….A subpoena issued to Bish…also shows that investigators appear focused on anyone she communicated with who claimed to be affiliated with Martin & Pulte.

The inquiry, according to the additional sources, include the office of #DAG [& fmr Trump personal atty] #ToddBlanche at #DOJ headquarters looking into the work of people who may have been dispatched or held themselves out to witnesses improperly around the mortgage fraud investigation.

Bish added later: “Something’s not adding up. And I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but I will.”
#EdMartin holds 4 titles at the #DOJ: US Pardon Attorney, Special Attorney for Mortgage Fraud, Associate Deputy Attorney General, & director of the Weaponization Working Group. #BillPulte is the director of the #FHFA.

Bish said she’s never spoken to the 2 men outside of an occasional light message on social media, but that her independent probe into #AdamSchiff was submitted to #BillPulte’s office earlier this year & later referred to the #DOJ, where it was handed off to #EdMartin.
“If they’re trying to tie me into some kind of clandestine conspiracy, it’s not there, & the best way to protect myself is to be open & honest & public,” she said [doesn’t mean they aren’t using her for one].
-
Bish told CNN Thursday that she went before the grand jury with the understanding that she was providing information in an federal investigation into Schiff, but that prosecutors “seemed more concerned” about looking into whether “there was #conspiracy or #collusion between me & Pulte or me & Ed Martin.”

Investigators had sought info about the possibility that there was a person who claimed to be working for Pulte or Martin, but was not properly deputized — 2 sources….
Bish previously said publicly she believed she had information to share about Schiff related to his mortgages.

…Soon, a team at #FannieMae was overseeing an effort to pull together a tranche of #mortgage data, according to emails reviewed by the AP. Smith played a central role and shared the #confidential lender-level pricing information with #FreddieMac, which set off alarms at both companies, according to the emails.

#BillPulte also has focused on large home #construction companies, which have drawn #Trump’s ire. Pulte requested #confidential #FannieMae #data & has publicly signaled that he is considering a crackdown if the companies do not increase construction volume.
“I’m looking at the Fannie Mae builder data & with the top three homebuilders we buy EASILY over $20 billion in THEIR LOANS!” he posted to X in early October.

Top #FannieMae officials ousted after sounding alarm on sharing confidential #housing data
A confidant of #BillPulte, the #Trump admin’s top housing “regulator”, provided #confidential mortgage pricing #data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.
