In the last 24 hours, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD-P), and the Under Secretary of Defense for Intell (OUSD-I) have been sacked. Trump loyalist now sit in the 1, 3, and 4 slots at DOD. Kash Patel is DOD Chief of Staff. Why?

Something is up -- Nunes' other goon, Michael Ellis, who also was in the NSC, was made General Counsel of NSA today. It's like Crabbe and Goyle infiltrating the Pentagon and NSA.




Nunes has been acting like a gd freakshow ever since his Scooby run to the White House in March 2017 and Michael Ellis showed him some intel in the SCIF that had been captured about HIM (Nunes). Since then he has been on a DESPERATE mission to undercut the intelligence community.

Remember that Kash Patel was behind the “Nunes Memo” and Michael Ellis was responsible for moving the Ukraine call to the codeword server. I smell a coverup, not a coup. Would also explain delay in giving Biden access to nat sec info

That thread continues - and then picks up:




Aaaaaaand the Pentagon just made Michael Flynn aide Ezra Cohen-Watnick acting undersecretary for intelligence.

I think this is getting important. More people will read it with an idea they're packing Defense and Intelligence with shady characters.
