President Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and to head the CIA Trump wants John Ratcliffe, a man highly qualified in light of recent events. As Trump’s DNI in 2020, Ratcliffe looked into intelligence community involvement in “Crossfire Hurricane” one of several FBI operations against candidate and President Trump and his picks for key posts in his administration such as Gen. Michael Flynn.
The mastermind of those operations was Clinton loyalist James Comey, the FBI boss Trump duly fired. Comey was replaced by Christopher Wray, who denied that the bureau had spied on Trump. The case is strong that, off all the officials Trump needs to replace, Wray is the worst.
On July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year-old with no tactical experience easily avoided the Secret Service, gained a clear rooftop shooting position, and unleashed eight shots. Had Donald Trump not turned his head toward a chart, he would have been shot dead, as was rally attendee Corey Comperatore, and the sniper wounded two others. The FBI did nothing to prevent this attack, and the aftermath gave the people cause to wonder.
The bureau employs ballistics and crime-scene experts but none was present when Wray, in his first statement after the assassination attempt, contended that Trump might have been hit by “shrapnel,” instead of an assassin’s bullet. It was like saying the 9/11 victims had been killed by falling glass, instead of terrorists flying airliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. In the run-up to the 2024 election, the FBI’s priority wasn’t those seeking to kill Trump but those who might vote for him.
“Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears” headlined the October 4, 2023 Newsweek report, based on a confidential FBI source. As the report explained, “the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.” As it turned out, they were the ones with cause to worry about deadly violence.
On August 9, 2023, an FBI SWAT team shot and killed Craig Robertson, a 75-year-old woodworker who had allegedly made online threats against Joe Biden and other Democrats. The shooting of Robertson was reportedly under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division, which as self-review would be meaningless. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also known for blocking criminal investigations.
On March 27, 2023, in advance of the April 1 “Trans Day of Vengeance,” Audrey Hale gunned down three nine-year-old students and three adults at a Christian School in Nashville. Motive is the key factor in any murder investigation, but the FBI opposed release of Hale’s detailed manifesto. In other ways, the bureau remained curious.
On March 8, 2022, the FBI mounted a raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, reportedly looking for classified documents. That did not prevent armed agents from ransacking the garments of former First Lady Melania Trump, a tacit confession that the raid was bogus. Mrs. Trump cited this invasion of privacy as her reason for skipping her husband’s meeting with Joe Biden, the waxworks effigy of a president who likely ordered the raid in the first place. The Delaware Democrat had scattered classified documents all over his residence but the FBI showed no interest.
By this time, the FBI had become Biden’s personal Geheime Staatspolizei and KGB. In similar style in 2016, the composite character David Garrow profiled in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama deployed the FBI to help his chosen successor Hillary Clinton and harm candidate and President Trump. That was only the beginning of their partisan deployment.
On February 21, 2020, the body of Philip Haney author of See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad, was “found deceased” in Amador County, California, killed by a gunshot to the chest. The FBI seized Haney’s laptop, thumb drives and such but has yet to reveal the contents. The bureau of “investigation” proves adept at concealing evidence.
In 2022, the FBI defied a court order to hand over information from the laptop of Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer murdered in July of 2016. Weeks after the murder, Wikileaks published 20,000 emails obtained from Democratic National Committee computers via an anonymous source, which could have been Rich. Rich’s laptop could be the Dead Sea Scrolls of the Russia collusion hoax, which Democrats deployed President Trump. Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz has now revived that hoax with the charge that Trump DNI pick Tulsi Gabbard is “likely a Russian asset.”
As he did with James Comey, Trump should fire Christopher Wray and replace him with someone who, by any means necessary, will make the FBI accountable to Congress and the people. Such a common-sense move is long overdue.
In 1993, the FBI failed to stop the bomb attack on the World Trade Center, which killed six people. The FBI failed to prevent the massive terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, with some 3,000 dead. The bureau also failed to stop terrorist mass murders at Fort Hood in 2009 (14 dead), the Boston Marathon in 2013 (three deaths), San Bernardino in 2015 (14 dead), and Orlando in 2016, with 49 dead. The FBI played no role in the takedown of the terrorists, ably handled by local police.
“Memory against forgetting” should be the motto of the Trump administration moving forward.
Thanks Lloyd !!! The Philip Haney case is perplexing, having been in that area some decades earlier. These “investigations” somehow have morphed into official coverups.
Just one of Trump’s Job 1(s) on Jan 20th. Getting rid of the Gestapo’s head honcho Reichsfuhrer Chris Wray.
Even his face is crooked. I’ve never seen such an outward manifestation of lying as that man’s face!
All that twitching on his face when being questioned is questionable !
FBI, CIA, Homeland Security need to be abolished and replaced with agencies that have only a fraction of the authority and power. Some the people in these agencies need to be prosecuted for their crimes; if that doesn’t happen we will know that the deep state is still in total control.
It’s not that the FBI and CIA and all the other 3 letter Feds are so smart and powerful .It’s because they
have all the goods on all the slime in our senate and congress! They’re all politicians and they’re all
afraid of non politician Trump and what he’s planning to do. I fear for Trump and i fear for us!!!
Among George W’s biggest mistakes are the Iraqi War and creation of DHS. Can’t do anything about the first, but breaking up DHS should be high on the Trump/Noem agenda.
In 1908, when the FBI was created, the creators understood the danger of having an armed national police force and forbid the FBI from being able to carry a weapon. The FBI was forced to use local and state authorities to prevent them from becoming a national police force controlled by a political party. The power of an armed FBI is too tempting for a politician to not use it to serve the party rather than the US Constitution as at least the last 3 Democrat presidents have displayed and the abuse was magnified 10x by the most insidious of the 3 – Joe Biden.
Fire Wray and any agent and manager that was involved in the abuses of power under Biden/Garland then take their weapons away and force them to cooperate with local law enforcement as a check and balance.
That’s a good idea, force them to use local and state authorities. That is one thing I learned by experience, local police agencies are very jealous of their authority in their jurisdictions.
Nothing short of a true Constitutional military taking control of the situation and making massive arrests of all the traitors in every agency will fix the problem.
The fact is treason in the government and high level military leadership is the norm while corruption is the exception.
An administration of ‘hens’ taking the ‘wolves’ to trial among a judge, jury, and executioner all wolves themselves is pointless.
Short of a violent revolution, there’s little we the people can do to prevent the government from going full on totalitarian if it chose to. And I say “the government” and not “our government” because we the people have little to no control of the government and it’s naive to think we do. We don’t.
Sure, we elect the politicians who ostensibly “run” the government but politicians come and go. However, the deep state (the federal bureaucracy) is permanent. They’re not elected, they can’t be terminated and their power is far reaching and absolute. Like it or not, they ARE the government.
The deep state was here before Trump and will be here long after him and the rest of the transients (politicians) in Washington DC are gone. As such, the deep state can do far more harm to Trump than he can do to them.
Ergo, don’t get your hopes up to high about what Trump can do or is going to do. They can easily “JFK” him if they perceive him as a serious threat. Moreover, they’ve already demonstrated that they can take him out should it becomes necessary and you can bet that they’ve already game planned scenarios to do that and lines up patsies to do take the fall (dead men don’t talk!)
FYI: (Project MK Ultra was a resounding success and used for nefarious purposes beyond mere interrogation.)
Eloquently stated.
Trump was allowed to win the election to reprise his role as the Pied Piper. Just as before with Covid, he will be manipulated to convince most people to do anything the Deep State chooses.
Fire everyone, rehire those with merit for investigation. Hire no one because of their race or sex.
Fire the deep state……… It’s that easy, huh? Sure. Okay. If you say so.
We DESERVE the TRUTHS! All these “issues” that have been swept under the rugs, all the questions refused to answer due to “an ongoing investigation”, and finally, just the withholding of information because it harms DEMOcrats, communists, and the mentally ill should be remedied! On DAY ONE, PRESIDENT TRUMP should issue an EO freezing all SHREDDING OPERATIONS and demand that all Supervisory level Gov’t EE’s “stand down” – GO HOME and WAIT for your call to either report back to work or receive formal termination notice!
Maybe now would be a great time to pass a LAW to stop the last minute actions of the current administration! Have a law that forbids anything other than the MAINTENANCE of the current status – no new “judges” – no new “grants” – no new “pardons”! If you, as President, plan do to anything then do it BEFORE the Election so that the voters can have a say! This goes for BOTH sides! I know that would be nearly three months of stagnant operations, but with all the HOLIDAYS, really, how much is done?? If the current administration had already ANNOUNCED an action BEFORE the election then no problem – the PEOPLE have spoken!
They are trying to shovel all the moola out the door to their cronies before the new administration comes in.
All the Top Heads need to roll.
The fbi-gestapo needs to be disbanded-closed-finished.
Many if not most of its former members need to be severely punished for their crimes in a way that will discourage future imitators.
Nothing else will do.
Some things cannot be fixed.
Just terminated.
We need a Star Chamber to take care of these villains. We the people must mete out justice. We will not get justice from the “system.” The system is designed to protect the villains in our government.
Lots of fatalism and negativity here in the comments ( or is it cowardice?) . The missing piece is the American people. We’ve failed to take action, instead hoping for an orderly and fully peaceful way to change things.
I remind the doomsayers that every man, woman and judge in the deep state is just that, mortal. They’re not gods.It’s a choice to fear them and allow them to reign.

They are all on mind altering drugs and steroids. Steroids can have very powerful effects on one’s mental stability. They can make you very aggressive and dangerous.
