DNI Tulsi Gabbard Yanks National Intelligence Council from CIA Silo and Fires Top Officials

Sundance reporting for CTH 

This Deep State cleanout move is coordinated by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

News is coming out about DNI Tulsi Gabbard taking the National Intelligence Council out of the CIA silo, and removing the two heads of the agency, Chairman Mike Collins (friend of Mike Morrell) and Deputy Chair Maria Langan-Riekhof.  Both officials were conducting intelligence operations on behalf of the Lawfare aligned Intel Community.

WASHINGTON DC – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council – whom whistleblowers describe as “radically opposed to Trump” — and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any “politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn’t immediately find contact information for Collins.

Collins also has whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and “deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration,” officials said.

They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.

As for Langan-Reikhof, officials said she has been a “key advocate” for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and is someone who whistleblowers allege is “radically opposed to Trump.”

Meanwhile, Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Many intel community leakers are “career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics,” officials said.

“It takes time to weed them out and fire them,” one official told Fox News Digital, adding that “plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway.” (read more)
