SCOOP: “The Deep State’s worst nightmare” unveils next steps

For over a decade, President Donald Trump has prioritized rooting out the “Deep State” bureaucrats who have sought to undermine him before he was even first elected.

Now, his administration is rolling out its biggest steps to date in that mission.

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, is rolling out her latest steps to “tak[e] on the rotted Intelligence Community,” a DNI official told the Washington Reporter.

Under Gabbard, a national security official noted, the DNI has been “the Deep State’s worst nightmare.”

The DNI created the Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG), which the ODNI consists of the “best and brightest minds from across the intelligence community, including interagency experts, with active members from ODNI, CIA, DIA, NSA, DoD, and FBI, among others.”

The new efforts, which the Reporter obtained a preview of, are in sync with Trump’s desire for transparency on issues from America’s past and future. One of DIG’s new projects is “interviewing whistleblowers who have first-hand experience and concrete evidence of the politicization of intelligence.

For example, interviewing analysts that can expose James Clapper and other Deep State actors on the Russian Collusion hoax and Hunter Biden laptop scandal.”

Another effort — which is “working to further declassify other examples of the Biden administration's use of the famed ‘domestic terrorist’ label to leverage the security state against Americans who did not agree with the administration” — aligns with the GOP’s ongoing push to keep parental rights front and center in education.

Looking towards both the future and towards America’s global adversary China, the DNI’s DIG taskforce will also “investigat[e] how U.S. tax dollars, funneled through the intelligence community, may have funded dangerous gain of function research at biolabs around the world.”

Gabbard is the “first DNI actively employing the essential oversight authorities of ODNI,” her office explained. The ODNI said that “authorities that were established to ensure coordination between the intelligence elements in order to prevent another 9/11 level event.”

The Reporter previously first covered how Gabbard “add[ed] counter narcotics to counterterrorism center [and] announce[d] leads on over 1,000 illegal immigrants tied to ISIS and gangs.”

Her work, which has also included declassifying tens of thousands of files related to the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, eliminating the DNI’s DEI programs, and “expos[ing] how the Biden administration weaponized the IC against Americans,” has already ruffled some feathers in D.C.

Last week, Gabbard accused Ellen Nakashima, a Washington Post journalist, of “actively harassing ODNI staff [by] calling high level Intelligence Officers from a burner phone, refusing to identify herself, lying about the fact that she works for the Washington Post, and then demanding they share sensitive information.”

Gabbard was backed up by a former DNI, Ambassador Richard Grenell, who said that Nakashima “makes stuff up. I saw this first hand.”

“She almost always has an anonymous source saying something critical of a Republican,” Grenell said. “She doesn’t use anonymous sources to attack when a Democrat is in charge.”

Gabbard’s team told the Reporter that it’s aware that her work is angering the “Deep State” — and is okay with that.

“Under the leadership of President Trump, DNI Gabbard and her team at ODNI are daring to do what no other has done before — expose the truth and end the politicization and weaponization of intelligence against Americans — and the Deep State hates it,” Olivia Coleman, the DNI’s press secretary, said.
