Trump snaps in mass fring

Donald Trump's narcissism, his petty spats, and his obsession with firing those in the federal government who he thinks have done him wrong, puts us all in danger. Everything that Donald Trump does puts us all in danger. But his latest set of firings, a breaking news story from MS now, really exposes the danger that we are all in, and it's just because Donald Trump and the people in his White House have gotten their feelings hurt. I try to make this point as often as possible. But the entirety of the conservative movement is this reactionary, petty, personal politics. They claim that they have a value set. They claim that they have a worldview. They claim to be tough guys taking on the woke mob. They're just pussies, they are complainers, they're whiners, that is a fact. And that is what we are going to get into in this story. But it all begins, not with this latest round of firings, but one from a few months ago, before the war on Iran began, Kashpatel weeks before, and with full knowledge of the war, fired those encounter intelligence. Relating to Iran, because of their involvement with Trump, it's where I want to start because it contextualizes this latest story, these latest firings we have so much to talk about, including Kashpatel and Beastieality. There was a report that came out in February from CNN that the FBI had let go or fired dozens of agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring Iran. And apparently the reason, at least reported in the press, was that these individuals had been involved in the investigation of classified document handling from President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. And that this was the reason why they were summarily let go. First of all, are you aware of those firings, and do you concur with the rationale or reason for those firings? I'm aware of that, and I know there's a tendency of litigation, so I'm not able to comment on them. Did you yourself order those firings? The FBI, every time there is someone who violates our code of conduct or ethical standard conducts an internal investigation with the careers there, and they present a decision point to me. The Iranian Threat Mission Center has seen an increase of 43% in arrests for Iranian spy actors, so the Iranian Threat Mission Center has never been stronger. So I'm not asking about whether those people were fired because they were involved in the investigation of the document handling by President Trump, not for any behavior issues. Is that your understanding as well? Again, ma'am, I can't comment on them because those are impending litigation. I guess I'm a little stymied here, director, because it feels as though right literally when there was a possible pending war, I'm outside of this intelligence circle in many ways, even though I serve on the Intelligence Committee, you collectively must have been aware when these firings happened that there was a meaningful chance that the U.S. might be engaged with a war in Iran, and having these very expert, super-qualified folks summarily dismissed at this time, it just feels like an odd choice in timing. Were you aware at the time that this was going down, that this may end up weakening the mission and the readiness of that group? Mission, as I stated, has never been stronger when you see a 43% increase in counterintelligence arrests and 21% increase in cyber arrests against the Iranian Threat Mission Center. My focus is on providing the American people as strong as the FBI as possible. I don't work on timelines, I work on evidence that's presented to me. I guess my concern is that it feels as though, and I very much honor the tone and tenor of this hearing that this is about making sure that we depoliticize what is the most important thing that we all do, which is keep us safe, and it feels as though this issue is a political issue, and I just am worried that we are taking really good, really qualified people and picking fights with one another across party lines, rather than making sure that we protect ourselves and keep ourselves safe. So there are obviously countless examples of Donald Trump weaponizing the government in many forms to go after his perceived political enemies, and I think that word is the most important one, his perceived political enemies, because these people were just doing their jobs. If you are investigating Donald Trump, you are investigating Donald Trump, you are investigating just another criminal, because that is what he is. But Donald Trump and MAGA have to tell themselves this story about some grand conspiracy of the deep state attempting to go after Trump so they do not realize that he's just a criminal and he should be in jail. This isn't about you. We don't hate you specifically, although we do, we don't really care about you specifically, and what I'm saying here is speaking to MAGA, we hate that you're fascist. We hate that you're stupid. We hate that you do bad shit to us. We don't care about you personally, like I know we do not like these people as individuals, but honestly, I don't want to have to talk about them. But that is the story that we are seeing today. Two members of the Trump administration pissed off because they think it's all about them and the firings that have amounted from it, and it's all because of Kashpatel too. FBI agents probing threats against Stephen Miller's wife, demoted, director Kashpatel said that he did not order this investigation, or I'm sorry, not ordered this decision after the investigation, but that's certainly bullshit. Two veteran FBI counterterrorism supervisors, once again, have been removed from their jobs after a disagreement over an investigation involving alleged harassing phone calls made to the wife of deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, multiple people familiar with the matter told MSNOW. The special agent in charge of counterterrorism in the FBI's Washington Field Office, Michael Bergwald and his deputy, Cortland Ray, each have deep national security experience. Bergwald is a West Point graduate who also won an award for his role in counterterrorism in 2016. Ray worked on the Boston Marathon bombing case and both were involved in investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6th. The sources, including former FBI, briefed on the matter, said Bergwald had already drawn the "Ir" of FBI director Kashpatel over a series of disagreements. But those sources, who have granted anonymity to speak about sensitive matters, said the final straw came after the Washington Field Office's counterterrorism section was asked to conduct a threat assessment on a person believed to have been making harassing phone calls to Miller's wife, conservative podcaster Katie Miller, who does a terrible show that nobody watches. The usual, I should say, unusual request, was greeted with disdain inside the FBI, the sources said, harassing phone calls aren't even in the ballpark of terrorism unless an actual terrorist is doing the dialings, said one former FBI, briefed on the matter. Although the FBI is claiming that Kashpatel had no part in these firings, obviously he did. He does whatever Donald Trump wants, whatever Stephen Miller wants, whatever any of these people want. Katie Miller and Patel were displeased with Bergwald and Ray, questioned the legality and legitimacy of the request. The sources said, Darren Cox, the head of the Washington Field Office, then ordered the removal of the two men from their jobs. The sources said, they have been demoted and transferred back to headquarters. The sources added. The demotions were first reported by Bloomberg News, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The actions are the latest examples of experienced counterterrorism agents being sidelined or pushed out of the bureau entirely, leading FBI veterans to question whether the bureau's capabilities to prevent terrorism have been significantly weakened. Many other experienced agents have retired earlier in plans, saying they could not work in an FBI that has been so politicized. So there are a couple of key takeaways here. One, Donald Trump and Kashpatel promising that they would stop the politicization of the FBI and the federal government at large is so stupid. It was always going to be stupid, and it is especially stupid now. Katie Miller, not getting a full-blown counterterrorism investigation because someone left her a nasty voicemail, the privilege of these people. They're such winers, they're such babies, they're such snowflakes. And let's talk about the impact of this. Counterterrorism? I don't know. That seems kind of important. So let's make one thing clear, Donald Trump doesn't care. And it's another reason why you should never take seriously any of the assassination attempts or so-called threats that Donald Trump is always talking about with respect to Iran. Donald Trump is saying that they're going after his plane, they're going after him. Donald Trump has literally said refurbishments and changes to the White House need to happen to protect him because of the Iran. Now clearly, that's not the case because we're getting rid of counterterrorism officials in the FBI. I also have to point out, after new reporting within the Israeli government in the Israeli news media that was confirmed by the New York Times, Benjamin Netanyahu knew about October 7th and did nothing because he thought he could use it to his advantage. You know, you hear a lot of people talking about Hassan Piker, what he said, and then apologized for about 9/11. Benjamin Netanyahu on 9/12 said the September 11th attacks. were good for Israel because it would build sympathy for them. How is that not perceived as worse? Do you think Donald Trump wouldn't love a terrorist attack? Donald Trump would love, he would welcome a terrorist attack. All of the right would. It would give them an opportunity to be able to talk about something else. And it would give Donald Trump a greater opportunity to expand the surveillance state and maybe crack down on elections in free speech. So yes, Donald Trump is not worried about counter-terrorism. And Donald Trump is putting a solid danger and so is Caspatel with these firings that continue. And we know Caspatel is just willing to do whatever Donald Trump wants. As long as he's allowed to continue to party at the Poodle Room, which I talked with Senator Peter Welch about on Sunday. That's why it seems that Caspatel has been able to get away with so much. Someone also pointed out this week that his favorite club in Las Vegas is called like the Poodle Lounge or something like the Poodle Lounge. She took the FBI plane out to the Poodle Lounge. So I don't know if there's a crossover with the Poodle Lounge in the Eustiality, but I don't really want to thank too much about that. But it's not just to the Poodle Lounge. It's also you were talking to him, you're confronting him about the Olympics episode. And in the fact that that feels like a million years ago just goes to show how many scandals these guys create. But I just, it's hard to fathom. It really is that they feel so comfortable. Why is it that you think they feel so comfortable just doing this in our face? Well, you know, keep in mind Donald Trump made $2 billion in his first year as president. And he has set a tone if you can get away with it, do it. And if you have to cross the line, don't worry, I'll pardon you. So the tone there is not so much about public service as it is service to Donald Trump. And Donald Trump's rule is grab what you can while you can. I mean, we'd not $2 billion is what he made in his first year. And that was dealing with a lot of these middle east princess and they bought a newest crypto deal. And you see that on display with other people. So Cash Petel has got access to an official plane. So he goes to Nashville to see his girlfriend. He goes to Italy to drink beer in the Olympic celebration with the players. He takes it to the poodle room. And he does it because the standard that is being set by Donald Trump is, hey, that's your plane. It's not the public's plane. And you're in charge and you can do what you want. So it's a real degradation of the kind of service orientation that the FBI rightly has been so proud of. These people do not want to govern. OK, they do not want to do their jobs and they should not be taken seriously. They are the ones who should be fired, not career FBI officials in counterterrorism.
