Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA’s U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.
Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
Oh, the irony. There is so much irony, it hurts.
It’s not even irony, it’s just willful projection at this point. And it works.
Every accusation a confession.
