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.

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.

#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.

Pulte Appointment Underscores Need To Reform Section 702 Spying
-
Donald Trump’s decision to appoint William J. Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence is not just controversial. It is another clear sign of the ongoing politicization of America’s national security apparatus.
Pulte is not an intelligence professional. He has no background in counterintelligence, national security operations, strategic analysis, the CIA, NSA, Pentagon, or the U.S. intelligence community. His profile is that of a businessman and political loyalist closely aligned with Trump.
Before this appointment, Trump had already placed him in March 2025 at the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the federal body overseeing giants such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and supervising large parts of the U.S. mortgage system. During his tenure there, Pulte pushed for investigations into alleged real estate fraud involving figures widely seen as Trump’s political opponents, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. None of those allegations resulted in indictments.
This is not an isolated case. It reflects a broader pattern in which loyalty increasingly matters more than competence.
The same concerns surround the current leadership of the FBI. Kash Patel’s appointment alarmed many former intelligence and law enforcement officials because he is perceived less as an independent institutional figure and more as a political loyalist. For years, Patel publicly attacked the very institutions he is now supposed to lead, promoted narratives about a so-called “deep state,” and openly discussed the need to purge parts of the federal apparatus.
This is dangerous territory for any democracy.
Intelligence and law enforcement agencies can only function effectively when they are trusted to operate independently from political power. Once professional expertise is replaced by personal loyalty, institutions begin to weaken from within. Analysts become cautious, officials learn that careers depend on obedience rather than competence, and agencies risk turning into political instruments instead of guardians of national security.
For decades, the United States built one of the world’s most sophisticated intelligence systems precisely because its institutions were expected to serve the Constitution and the State — not a single political leader.
That principle now appears increasingly fragile.
At a time of growing geopolitical instability, war in Ukraine, rising Chinese and Russian assertiveness, cyber threats, and global strategic competition, weakening America’s security institutions from within may prove to be one of the most consequential mistakes of this era.

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.

Top #Trump housing official, #BillPulte, issues new #criminal referral for New York AG #LetitiaJames after several previous attempts failed
According to a person familiar with the matter, Pulte, the director of the #FHFA, issued 2 referrals to the #DOJ, one to the #USAttorney for Northern District of Illinois & another to the US Attorney for Southern District of Florida.
Both alleged “suspected homeowners insurance fraud.”

She said she kept trying to steer ofcls back toward #AdamSchiff’s records. But they appeared more interested in learning who had contacted her about her findings, what they asked her & how they identified themselves….
Bish said she started digging into Schiff’s mortgage records years ago when she was running for #Congress in Sacramento & conducting opposition research on other politicians.

Bish—who has spent years gathering evidence through public records against #AdamSchiff & other [Democrat] politicians who she believes are defrauding voters because they spend too much time in Washington [& she likely consumes a lot of right wing media] — said she was shocked that investigators didn’t ask her more questions about the case.

#AdamSchiff, #LetitiaJames & #LisaCook all deny wrongdoing.
The cases have been controversial within the #DOJ. In the Eastern District of Virginia — where James was indicted — multiple prosecutors were pushed out, including Trump’s pick to run the office, in part because they did not believe there was sufficient evidence to bring charges….

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

#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.
-
Until then, Bish wasn’t sure if her April email caught anyone’s attention in Washington, she told WaPo on Friday. But she knew Trump’s post drew from her files because of the highlights marking up the page.
#Trump had posted the document with “the most yellow on it,” she said.
Now Bish’s experience is providing an unexpected window into how inexperienced Trump loyalists in top admin positions are wielding their power.#law #LegalEthics #DOJ #BillPulte #FHFA #RevengePolitics #MafiaState
-
When #Trump accused Sen #AdamSchiff (D-CA) of mortgage fraud in July, he posted a document on Truth Social that he said proved Schiff was a “thief.” That quickly blew up the phone of a GOP congressional candidate & real estate agent from California, Christine Bish — who recognized the document as one of hundreds she sent to an admin tip line collecting info about alleged mortgage fraud.

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.
