The Spies Who Lie: NY Post historic cover on the 51 intel experts who lied to the American public about the Hunter Biden laptop being a Russian op.

The Trump administration has issued a directive to ban 50 former intelligence officials, including high-profile figures like John Brennan, John Bolton, and James Clapper, from accessing secure U.S. government facilities.

This decision comes after these officials misleadingly characterized Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.

In 2020, it was 51 lying intelligence officials who were quarterbacked by Anthony Blinken to pull off the greatest election fraud in American history.

It was Tony Blinken who was in charge of collecting signatures from corrupt and partisan Trump-hating intelligence officials to sign off on the letter that the laptop was a Russian op.

Blinken, a very unimpressive man, was later awarded the Secretary of State position for organizing this elaborate lie.

It should be noted that the legacy media was more than happy to push this complete lie on the American public in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.

It has now been determined that several of the 51 were actually CIA Contractors when they signed the 51 Intel Officer letter that was replete with fictional statements that broached the 18USC1001 statute on False Statements by Federal Officials.

Most of the names are forgettable wannabes who are trying to stay relevant in the Swamp. Then you have lowlifes like Jeremy Bash, a repeat offender and an alumnus of the 51 Intel Officer. Jeremy Bash is also married to Dana Bash of CNN.

The list of signatories includes several prominent former intelligence officials:

James Clapper: Former Director of National Intelligence
John Bolton: Former National Security Advisor
Michael Hayden: Former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency
Leon Panetta: Former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense
John Brennan: Former CIA Director
Thomas Fingar: Former Chairman of the National Intelligence Council
Rick Ledgett: Former Deputy Director of the NSA
John McLaughlin: Former Acting Director of the CIA
Michael Morell: Former Acting Director of the CIA
Mike Vickers: Former Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence
Doug Wise: Former Deputy Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency

Now, a newly surfaced Cabinet memorandum and first reported by The Daily Wire reveals a damning effort to crack down on these traitors, 50 former intelligence officials who played a role in election interference and improperly disclosed sensitive government information.

The document, issued on January 29, 2025, expands on Executive Order 14152 (Holding Former Government Officials Accountable for Election Interference and Improper Disclosure of Sensitive Governmental Information), which had already revoked the security clearances of these traitors.

According to the memo, these former intelligence officials have been stripped of unescorted access to U.S. government secure facilities and revoked of security clearances.

These same operatives were instrumental in pushing the now-debunked Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, dismissing it as “Russian disinformation” right before the 2020 election.

The political shielding of Joe Biden’s scandal-ridden family and their foreign business dealings was just one chapter in a broader intelligence community war against transparency.

Now, under new directives, the State Department, Department of Defense, CIA, Office of Personnel Management, and the Director of National Intelligence must ensure these former officials no longer have access to classified government information.

Moreover, any former officials who obtained security clearances through private entities will now see those permissions revoked as well.

White House Press Secretary gives press briefing – January 31, 2025 (TGP Photo/Jordan Conradson)

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press conference on Friday, where she addressed ICE’s continued efforts to enforce immigration law and deport Biden’s criminal illegal aliens. 

Leavitt discussed President Trump’s signing of the Laken Riley Act, a new memorandum designating Guantanamo Bay as a detention center for criminal aliens, and announced new arrests of violent and sexually predatory illegal aliens. The latest arrests by ICE include a Guatemalan convicted of solicitation to meet a child, a Korean convicted of nine counts relating to child pornography, a Mexican charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon, and assault, and another Mexican convicted of child pornography charges.

“Our message is simple: if you are a criminal illegal alien, you will be arrested and deported,” Leavitt said.

Watch below:

As the Gateway Pundit reported, several conservative news outlets are now represented in the White House briefing room, including The Gateway Pundit, One America News Network, Real America’s Voice, and Breitbart. Leavitt previously announced that “the Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media that’s in this room.”

On Friday, Leavitt responded to this reporter’s question about criminal illegal aliens being protected by state and city officials in Illinois and Maryland.

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Democrats in Illinois are preventing ICE officials from detaining illegal aliens who are in local jails and prisons and even trying to allow illegal aliens to change their names to avoid detection by ICE. They would rather house these criminal aliens in jail at the expense of taxpayers and let them out into the street to terrorize law-abiding citizens than admit that they don’t belong in our country.

Additionally, it has been reported that the far-left Maryland Attorney General is trying to prevent local law enforcement from cooperating or sharing information with ICE.

Leavitt slammed the corrupt Democrats, saying, “They would be very wise to comply with this administration because this administration is hell-bent on enforcing our nation’s immigration laws, and this administration will continue to arrest, detain, and deport illegal migrant criminals.”

WATCH:

Conradson: My friend Ben Bergquam reports that the Chicago Mayor and the Illinois Governor are preventing ICE agents from going into jails and prisons to enforce detainers against illegal aliens. In Maryland, the Attorney General has also put out a memo hindering local police cooperation with ICE. Does the administration have any comment on leftist State and local officials defying ICE and Trump’s deportation efforts?

Leavitt: Yeah, I think it’s very interesting that Democrat officials in these cities, who have been completely overrun and overwhelmed by illegal immigrant criminals, would refuse support and help to cure this problem that has especially taken over their cities. I guess they don’t want to admit they’ve been wrong with their sanctuary city policies. I’m not sure. You’ll have to ask them about their intentions, but they would be very wise to comply with this administration because this administration is hell-bent on enforcing our nation’s immigration laws, and this administration will continue to arrest, and detain, and deport illegal migrant criminals. And what we won’t do is defy our nation’s immigration laws, like the previous administration, who had these orders of removal on illegal immigrants across the country and were refusing to execute on them. We will continue to remove illegal criminals from our nation’s interior.

Conradson: Are these sanctuary city leaders violating the law?

Leavitt: I would certainly think so. I’d have to check back on which specific law they’re violating. But certainly, if they’re not enforcing our nation’s immigration law, it sounds like they are breaking the law, and I would also add that their constituents don’t approve of that. You’ve seen residents in Chicago show up at their city council meetings infuriated with their leadership in that city because they are working very hard to provide for their families. They want public safety and law and order, and their officials have abandoned those very basic American principles in these cities, and the American people want law and order. It’s again an overwhelmingly popular policy to deport illegal criminals from our nation’s interior, and this administration will continue to affect that goal.

As someone whose father was in the aeronautics business — and who got passed on plenty of his wisdom from a young age — there are two things that I know, even as an unskilled observer, about airplane crashes.

The first is that there’s never one single thing to blame for disasters, especially when it involves airliners; so much redundancy is built into the system that numerous things have to go wrong, either simultaneously or over a period of time, for a crash to happen. The second is that nobody — nobody — knows what caused the disaster in the first 24 hours. (Anyone old enough to remember how wrong we were about TWA Flight 800 being bombed or hit by a missile?)

The collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army helicopter, which claimed 67 lives, may have reached a new low in this department. As Dan McLaughlin pointed out at National Review, people are already blaming Trump administration Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for the disaster just outside of Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.

Duffy took office the morning before the collision, which more or less rules him out as a factor. Not that this stopped anybody on social media, of course:

“It is not standard to have aircraft collide.”
– Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

Ya think?

And yes – he really said this.

This is what happens when Faux News talking heads are put in charge. Duffy and Hegseth both should be forced to resign.

Oh, and impeach trump.

— Eric Slater (@ericsslater) January 30, 2025

However, McLaughlin also noted “that Trump has actually moved to fix a problem with how we hire air-traffic controllers, in order to reorient it toward hiring the best people in order to make air-traffic control safer.”

The question raises itself: We weren’t hiring air-traffic controllers, some of the most critical positions in civilian government employ, simply on the basis of merit?

Fact check: Accurate, unfortunately.

And not only that, we’ve been doing that since Barack Obama’s administration, allowing for those with intellectual, psychiatric, and physical disabilities to receive what we’d now call DEI protections.

Let’s start from an archived 2013 version of the Federal Aviation Administration’s website and its “diversity and inclusion” page.

“Diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond,” the page read. “Because diversity is so critical, FAA actively supports and engages in a variety of associations, programs, coalitions and initiatives to support and accommodate employees from diverse communities and backgrounds. Our people are our strength, and we take great care in investing in and valuing them as such.”

Part of this included hiring those with “targeted disabilities”: “Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

In 2019 — under the Trump administration, it must be said — the FAA “announced a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations.” Again, it emphasized that it was looking “to identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.”

In an archived page from December 2024, the FAA touted “‘On-the-spot’ special appointment authority” to hire individuals via a “non-competitive hiring method,” one of which involved “hiring people with severe physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities.”

The initiative was last updated on March 23, 2022, according to Fox News.

Moreover, the Biden administration was already being sued because of discriminatory hiring practices for air-traffic controllers.

“From 1989 to 2013, the Collegiate Training Initiative program was a pipeline to a career in air traffic control. The program aimed to ensure future air traffic controllers had the skills and knowledge necessary to carry out the job,” the Washington Times reported in May 2024.

“More than ten years ago, the Obama Administration scrapped 1000 qualified candidates. The administration’s justification was that the pool of applicants was not diverse enough, so they would be purged from consideration. Instead of hiring candidates with the most competency, individuals were elevated for hiring consideration based on their race.

“Despite their intent to expand the air traffic control hiring pool via DEI, the FAA has recently admitted they are woefully understaffed and that current air traffic controllers are severely overworked. One report found that only 3 of the 313 air traffic facilities around the nation met the FAA targets last year. This has forced the agency to admit safety could be jeopardized. To mitigate such danger, the agency has ‘at times halted departures or otherwise slowed down air traffic.’”

Trump has reversed this hiring policy; a fact sheet from the White House said the administration planned “to immediately stop Biden DEI hiring programs and return to non-discriminatory, merit-based hiring” and would require “the FAA Administrator to review the past performance and performance standards of all FAA employees in critical safety positions and make clear that any individual who fails to demonstrate adequate capability is replaced by someone who will ensure Americans’ flight safety and efficiency.”

Now, let me reiterate what I said at the top: We have no idea what caused this crash, and we will not know the exact details for some time. What we do know is that, when a collision between to aircraft is involved, the specter of insufficiently adept air-traffic control monitoring raises itself as a potential factor.

And whatever the case, these social media posters had much more to be alarmed about than those blaming Sean Duffy for something he clearly had no control over:

Meaningless DEI initiatives are infuriating enough on their own accord when they prioritize identity over merit in non-critical positions. When the results can be deadly, however, infuriating turns to chilling.

The post Fact Check: Yes, Obama and Biden Had FAA Hire People with Intellectual, Psychiatric, Severe Physical Disabilities appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole, who Bill Clinton appointed, has blocked the transfer of a “transgender” biological male from a women’s prison to a male facility.

The inmate, identified under the pseudonym “Maria Moe,” filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” executive order, which removed men from women’s prisons and stopped the facilities from providing “any medical procedure, treatment, or drug” for “conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.”

The lawsuit claimed the order infringes on his “due process rights” under the Fifth Amendment and is tantamount to “cruel and unusual punishment,” which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment.

The Hill reports:

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole issued the temporary restraining order Sunday while the case was sealed. At a hearing in Boston on Thursday, O’Toole confirmed from the bench that the inmate, identified in court filings by the pseudonym Maria Moe, is back in general population after prison officials moved her to a “special housing unit” and receiving her hormone therapy, her lawyers said.

O’Toole, an appointee of former President Clinton, ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) not to change from that position until he decides whether to issue a longer injunction.

Reuters obtained and reported on the lawsuit before it was placed under seal.

The lawsuit claims:

Consistent with this standard of care, Maria Moe has lived as a woman and has taken hormones continuously since she was a teenager. During her term of incarceration, she has always been treated as a woman by federal correctional officials and her peers. She has never been housed in a men’s facility and has never stopped taking hormones. Until January 23, 2025, publicly available records from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) identified her sex as “female.” On January 25, the same records classified her as “male” because of the Executive Order.

The complaint also states that Moe was placed in solitary to prepare to be moved to a men’s prison just one day after the order was issued on inauguration day.

“BOP officials informed her that because of the Order, she was being transferred to a men’s facility. Maria Moe remains in the SHU pending transfer. She has not been permitted to have contact with others for at least four days,” the suit alleges.

‘Transgender’ Inmate Sues Trump Administration Over Order Removing Men from Women’s Prisons

The lawyers representing Moe claim that if he is moved to a male facility, he “will not be safe.”

“She will be at an extremely high risk of harassment, abuse, violence, and sexual assault,” the complaint reads. “She may be subject to strip searches by male correctional officers. She may be forced to shower in full view of men who are incarcerated. And she will predictably experience worsening gender dysphoria, which can lead to serious harm, including dramatically increased rates of suicidality and depression.”

Approximately 15 percent of the inmates in women’s prisons are biological males who claim to be “transgender,” according to the Bureau of Prisons. Just 750 female prisoners identify as “male” and are in men’s prisons.

President Trump says”on day one” he will start looking at individual January 6 cases.

President Trump’s Acting US Attorney Ed Martin fired the January 30 6 federal prosecutors in the DC US Attorney’s Office on Friday.

“Trump administration officials are moving to fire at least some of the FBI agents who participated in investigations involving President Donald Trump in the coming days, two people familiar with the plans said Friday.” AP reported.

“Also on Friday, a top Justice Department official ordered the firing of some prosecutors who were hired to work on cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.” the outlet reported.

Earlier Friday Trump fired the head of the FBI Washington Field Office, according to NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian.

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.

Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

Earlier this week it was reported that Acting US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin, initiated an inquiry into former US Attorney Matthew Graves’ prosecutions of more than 1,500 January 6 protestors.

Ed Martin is specifically probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge.

Matthew Graves resigned last month.

Former US Attorney for DC Matthew Graves

Ed Martin called the use of 1512c2 a “great failure” of the office and directed staff to immediately deliver “all files, documents, notes, emails and other information” related to 1512c2 charging decisions to two other prosecutors, who will prepare a preliminary report for Martin by this Friday.

Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case were conspiracy to obstruct.

Then-US Attorney for DC, Matthew Graves, arrested and charged thousands of non-violent J6ers who didn’t even enter the Capitol building. He also threatened to seek more prison time for J6 defendants if the Supreme Court reversed the obstruction count.
