  1. The #WhiteHouse told #LisaCook in a letter this week that #Trump was "considering" removing her from her role [he can’t] & demanded she respond to ​unproven mortgage fraud allegations [manufactured by #BillPulte] within 3 weeks — allegations her attorney called "baseless."

  2. Anyone is better than #BillPulte

    #Senate Confirms #JayClayton to Lead #US #Intelligence Community

    Clayton, who lost Democratic support after he refused to clearly say Joe #Biden won the 2020 election, will take over the #ODNI from Bill Pulte.

  3. #JayClayton, the #Trump admin’s nominee for #DNI, faced questions Wednesday on #election security & his commitment to keep the agency free of political interference, during a confirmation hearing that was rescheduled weeks after being abruptly scuttled by Trump [in order to keep #BillPulte in the position].

  4. #Trump has long claimed falsely that he unfairly lost the #2020election in Fulton County, Georgia, which includes Atlanta, &, despite a total lack of evidence, the #FBI field office has been investigating those claims.

    Trump is making the prime-time announcement at the urging of advisers including #BillPulte, acting #DNI, & #JohnSolomon, a former conservative “journalist” who temporarily joined the White House to help review government records for release.…

  5. #Trump Wednesday will attend a closed-door #Senate #GOP lunch for the first time in more than a year.

    Trump has pressured senators for months to focus on his proof of #citizenship voting bill even though it doesn’t have the votes to pass. He has blocked them from confirming one of his own nominees [so #BillPulte can keep “acting”], asked them to fund parts of his #ballroom project & forced them to defend his #Iran war as they question its strategy & endgame.

  6. The removals represent the first major move in #BillPulte’s mandate to make drastic reductions at the #spy office, which had already been slimmed down under Gabbard. The #ODNI, which acts as a policymaker & coordinator for the 18 agencies that make up the #US #intelligence community, has been a target of some on the #MAGA right who believe it is made up of a “deep state” determined to undermine #Trump.

  7. 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.

  8. “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.

  9. Of course he did

    Acting director of national “#intelligence#BillPulte showed up at his new job a day early. He's looking to cut hundreds of jobs, sources say

    #Trump pick for acting #DNI, Bill Pulte, arrived at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them, 2 sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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].

  13. #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.

  14. #Trump Risks Key #Surveillance Authority Over ‘Unqualified’ Spy-Chief Pick

    US lawmakers are alarmed that #BillPulte ,a housing official with no i#ntelligence experience, is poised to take charge of one of the government's most powerful surveillance tools.

  15. #Trump Picks #JayClayton to Be #Intelligence [#DNI] Chief

    Lawmakers had pressed for someone besides #BillPulte, the Trump lickspittle who was the interim choice but lacked any experience & integrity.

    Clayton is the #USattorney in Manhattan & the former chairman of the #SEC.

  16. The vote failed 218-198, with 19 #Republicans joining nearly all #Democrats in opposing the bill. It would have required a ⅔ majority to advance under the parliamentary tool House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) used to quickly bring the legislation to the floor.
    
The result all but ensures that § 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [#FISA], a post-9/11 spy tool that both parties have argued is critical to US #NationalSecurity, will lapse for the first time.

  17. #House votes against extending controversial #wiretapping #law set to lapse Friday despite #Trump’s call to extend the #surveillance program

    The House Thursday rejected a last-minute attempt to extend a controversial #warrantless-surveillance law, as #Democrats continue to protest Trump’s decision to temporarily place #BillPulte, a mortgage agency director & #MAGA loyalist, atop the #US #intelligence community.

  18. @Itchy

    Just like with Todd Blanche (and arguably Kash Patel as well), #MafiaDon plans on gifting completely inexperienced & unqualified #BillPulte the job of "Acting" #DNI. And when his 90 day term is up, point to that 90 day "experience" as why he's qualified to be permanently assigned the job.

    By the end of his first term, #UncleScam had FILLED his Administration with "acting" officials in order to circumvent the Congressional Approval process.

  19. 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.

    #Trump #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #FHFA #RevengePolitics #MafiaState

  20. #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.

  21. 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.

    #law #Trump

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

  24. 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].

    #law #Revenge #Trump

  25. 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.”

  26. 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.
