Former intelligence analyst and ex-FBI official Michael Feinberg said the spate of firings, dismissals and retirements in President Donald Trump’s second term is not so one-sided. Trump told the Wall Street Journal that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is “unnecessary and or too big,” and would “like to see it smaller”“I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said, about those who worked in the Joe Biden and Barack Obama administrations. But Feinberg said serious employees, those with intelligence and a hint of patriotism, are already a step ahead and likely leaving for their own reasons.“[I]n the intelligence community, bad leadership drives out good leadership because the people who take on those roles at the FBI, the CIA, … other places, they're principled, they're patriotic, they're idealistic. And when they see somebody come in taking a wrecking ball to the agency's ability to manifest and epitomize those qualities, they realize it's not somewhere they could work anymore,” Feinberg told MS NOW anchor Nicolle Wallace. “And all of a sudden you get a lot of lackeys. And as I said earlier, you get people who are not going to tell the president when he's wrong and the president's going to make bad decisions.”Wallace made a reference to a recent New York Times article reporting that Trump largely ignored his entire national security team and instead took trusted the claims of Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu in the run up to Trump’s disastrous war in Iran, which has lifted gas and food prices and put Republicans’ hold on the House and Senate in jeopardy.“It's going to get worse,” Feinberg assured as more professionals evacuate federal rooms filling up with imbeciles.“The intelligence community … are Ph.D. holders. They are people who acutely understand social science research methods. They are people who speak multiple languages, who understand how to use cultural norms, to recruit somebody to want to work with the United States. There are more soft skills than hard skills … but the former is overwhelmingly more important and intelligent people, patriotic people, and they don't want to work for partisan idiots,” said Feinberg.“I don't know how to put it more straightforward than that,” Feinberg added. “And not only do they not want to do the work, they can't do it because people like Bill Pulte or Tulsi Gabbard or Kash Patel or John Ratcliffe don't want to let them.”Yeah,” agreed Wallace. “Yeah, it's about as blunt as that.” - YouTube youtu.be
California election officials and voting-rights advocates have long defended the state's voting system.
Election law expert Hans von Spakovsky says California's slow vote counting stems from mass mail voting, a seven-day ballot window, and cure periods.

A disturbing discovery was made by police at a Minnesota home after a 14-year-old girl was reported missing from her school on May 26.The parents of the girl called the Maplewood Police Department to report her missing, and the girl's father told police the girl might have been at her friend's home in Oakdale. 'Her whole top half is out, and I'm like, "Whoa, what's going on here? Why are you naked in front of a child?"'Police said they investigated the home and spoke to a woman named Angeline Olson. She told them the girl was not at the home but that she would take the girl home if she showed up there.Police then said they returned to the home after a disturbing report from a neighbor at about 1:30 a.m."I came outside to smoke, and I'm minding my own business, and all of a sudden this little girl comes running past out her house, right in front of me, half naked," said Teaira Vennes, the woman who called police. "Next thing you know, Angel's out the bushes, and Angel comes out naked. Like, her whole top half is out, and I'm like, 'Whoa, what's going on here? Why are you naked in front of a child?'" she added. Police said the Olsons were argumentative and defied orders, so they were detained. When police searched the home, they found the girl in a cardboard box that was under a pile of clothes in the Olson couple's bedroom.Police then obtained warrants to search the couple's digital devices and found sexually explicit videos with the Olsons and the victim. The couple was arrested, and 47-year-old Angeline Olson was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Andrew Olson, 49, was charged with three counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.Their neighbors, who were outraged and terrified by the incident, told KARE-TV that Child Protective Services had taken away their teenage children prior to the incident. "It's not just another story; it's another f**king victim. It's another little girl," Vennes said. "After going through this, I couldn't never imagine that happening to my daughter."RELATED: Indiana teen targeted victims across several states for child sex abuse through social media, cops say "My client is presumed innocent and looks forward to clearing his name where it counts: in court," said John Chitwood, the lawyer for Andrew Olson. Andrew Olson faces up to 18 years in prison if convicted, while Angeline Olson faces up to 30 years if convicted. "They need to be locked up. I hope that they are locked up for a very, very long time," Vennes added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
