President Trump’s January Executive Order says in part, “The Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the appropriate departments and agencies within the Intelligence Community, shall take all appropriate action to review the activities of the Intelligence Community over the last 4 years and identify any instances where the Intelligence Community’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the National Security Advisor, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order.” {source}
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been working on this for nine months.
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, heads the Interagency Weaponization Working Group (IWWG) which has been meeting twice a month to coordinate efforts at identifying, targeting and removing people and systems who have abused their authority and weaponized government institutions. The IWWG consists of key people from DNI, DOJ, FBI, Dept of War, IRS, FCC and DHS.
As the Gabbard group begins taking action against the internal silo administrators and corrupt actors, the media are beginning to focus on the group. As a counterattack they construct a narrative that the IWWG is President Trump’s personal targeting team.
(REUTERS) – A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Justice and Defense Departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission, among other agencies, two of the documents show.
[…] Several U.S. officials confirmed the existence of the Interagency Weaponization Working Group to Reuters in response to the questions and said the group’s purpose was to carry out Trump’s executive order.
“None of this reporting is new,” said a White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
ODNI spokeswoman Olivia Coleman said, “Americans deserve a government committed to deweaponizing, depoliticizing and ensuring that power is never again turned against the people it’s meant to serve.”
The existence of the interagency group indicates the administration’s push to deploy government power against Trump’s perceived foes is broader and more systematic than previously reported. Interagency working groups in government typically forge administration policies, share information and agree on joint actions. (read more)
In addition to bad actors within government, there are also many bad actors outside of government who control as much or more than those inside.
The people outside are using government resources of all kinds to further anti-American activities.
It is the combination of these two forces that makes decline of USA so difficult reverse.
I believe Gabbard is honest but I am not sure how deeply she understands the savagery of the groups attacking and parasitizing our nation from within and without. ABN
