Trump Fires NSA Director, His Deputy, and Six Other NSA Staffers; Speculation Is That Laura Loomer Showed Trump Evidence That They Were Disloyal Biden Holdovers Undermining His Executive Authority

Finally we're getting the "You're Fired's" we were promised in 2016.

The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency.

Haugh's removal as director of the NSA, the nation's primary cyber espionage and electronic eavesdropping agency, comes on the same day at least three White House National Security Council staffers reportedly also were shown the door.

The ousted NSA director's civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials.

Noble was reassigned to a role within the Pentagon's Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, according to the outlet.

The reason behind the NSA shakeup is unknown, the US officials told the outlet.

Haugh, who also serves as the Pentagon's Cyber Command chief, had led the NSA since February 2024.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, slammed Haugh's dismissal.

The fact that Mark Warner and, as you'll see below, Martha Raddatz are protesting these firings is all the proof I need they are eminently justified and critical.

"General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?" Warner wrote on X.

The senator also took aim at President Trump -- referencing reports that the firings of National Security Council staffers came shortly after he took a meeting with right-wing influencer Laura Loomer.

"It is astonishing that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the NSA while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app -- even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office," Warner wrote in a separate post.

Loomer is a loon but crazy people do sometimes use their obsessiveness to dig up facts. Once again, the left is sputtering about who brought the information to Trump as a way to attack the information. Musk isn't firing people at DOGE; he brings the info to Trump, and Trump fires them.

But they fixate on Musk "not being elected."

Seems like the same jive here with Loomer. If Loomer brought Trump this information, it was still the duly elected-and-sworn president who read it and found it credible and took appropriate action.

As promised, crag-faced Baba Yaga and weepy Deep State nostalgist Martha Raddatz broke out her quaking Cry-Voice over the firings, which pretty much cinches it that they all leak to her.

Kaitlin Collins and her Magnum PI face-bush are also very upset:

As is Niccole Wallace, who looks like Lyme Disease made into human form:

Probably unrelated, but worth pointing out:
