Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence Begins Mass-Firing Obama/Biden Holdovers and Hacks

During Trumo's first term, a friend of mine, Rich Higgins, wrote to Trump advising him to fire just about everyone in the Office of National Intelligence. Obama and then Biden had purged most good people from the organization and filled it with political hacks.

Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte, just took the long-awaited step of firing their asses.

ABC "News" is pissy, of course, because the Democrat way is to fill the bureaucracies with stone-cold Democrat/progressive partisans who shape the country's policies even when a Republican is nominally the president.

Trump's acting director of national intelligence begins firings at agency, sources say

Trump had previously called for the "needed downsizing of the office."

I don't know if the office really needs to be downsized. But I think it's easier just to say "we need to downsize" and then to fire all of the Obama hacks.

And then later, maybe, decide "Oh we need a few more people, we're going to hire some more people."

President Donald Trump's acting director of national intelligence has begun firing people at the agency, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with zero intelligence experience, took over the agency late last week and had promised to cut hundreds of jobs at ODNI once taking over.

Obama never held a real job before he became a state senator and the left insisted to us that he had all the experience he needed to be president.

It was not immediately clear how many jobs had already been affected, but sources told ABC News that the National Counterterrorism Center was expected to be hit hard.

Oh, John Brennan's old unit?

...

Trump, for his part, has made clear he wants Pulte to slash jobs at the agency.

Trump said earlier this month the size of ODNI has been "way too high for way too long" and told reporters he wouldn't mind it if cuts were made. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, Trump also said he wanted Pulte to "start the process" of firing ODNI personnel and cited his role as acting director as "less shackled," according to the paper.

John Thune knows better than to poke the bear again and supports the firings:

On the other hand, the egotistical Democrat recruited to be North Carolina's senator by Mitch McConnell is shrieking that all of his Obama/Biden frenz are out of jobs, saying Pullte is an "incompetent sycophant" and his firings will be "another stinking pile of dog shit."
