Bill Pulte just started firing dozens of intel officials and rumours are that there will be hundreds more.

Great timing with all the shit going on in the world. Somehow I knew that the U.S. intelligence community would be no match for this flabby 38 year old nepo baby.

The presumption is that he is demanding a) identities and info about spies and assets so they can be exposed and sold out to foreign powers to profit Trump, and/or b) he is demanding false information that supports Trump's lies and conspiracy theories to justify Trump's further law breaking and civil rights violations especially related to rigging/stealing the midterms.
