Donald Trump battled the Deep State during his first term in office.
This time he’s looking to finish it.
And a Trump national security advisor had one scary message that put the Deep State on the run.
Trump national security advisor declares war on the Deep State
The first impeachment hoax against President-elect Donald Trump over Ukraine was launched by a rogue career employee, Alexander Vindman, on the National Security Council (NSC).
Former Trump NSC official Joshua Steinman warned on social media that the NSC could be compromised during the President-elect’s second term by some of the hiring decisions made.
Trump tapped former Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) to serve as his National Security Advisor which oversees the NSC.
Waltz wants to make sure that the NSC is free of anyone like Vindman who can undermine the President-elect’s agenda.
He told Breitbart News that every intelligence official under the NSC’s umbrella will be gone the day Trump takes office.
“Everybody is going to resign at 12:01 on January 20,” Waltz said. “We’re working through our process to get everybody their clearances and through the transition process now. Our folks know who we want out in the agencies, we’re putting those requests in, and in terms of the detailees they’re all going to go back.”
Detailees are career government employees from places like the Pentagon, FBI, and CIA who work at the NSC.
Waltz has a plan to stop internal sabotage
Waltz’s goal with the NSC is to avoid another saboteur in the mold of Vindman.
“The issue with Vindman wasn’t during transition—the issue with Vindman was he was already slated to transfer but didn’t come in until the summer or fall after,” Waltz explained. “So that’s one, number two—the folks that we’re bringing in are 100 percent aligned with the president’s agenda.”
The Biden-era holdovers at the NSC will be gone the minute that Trump is inaugurated.
“It’s a pretty straightforward process,” Waltz stated. “Because a good portion of the NSC are detailees, out from the agencies, our team knows who we want to bring in and we’re putting those requests out and we’re going to bring them in.”
The NSC is responsible for taking the President’s national security agenda back to the various federal agencies that are assigned to have it carried out.
Detailees are the bridge between the NSC and their agencies.
“We essentially tee up options for the president, really elevate to him decisions through a process,” Waltz said about the NSC. “ Some of those decisions will be made by his Cabinet that are fully in line with his agenda but some need to come to him—not the NSC staff but the actual statutory National Security Council. We’ll convene those. He’ll make his decisions.”
Trump had problems with the execution of those decisions during his first term.
“Then, where I think there was some difficulty in the first administration is we’re then charged with actually monitoring and helping the agencies and making sure the agencies actually execute his decision,” Waltz said. “That’s where they need to set their personal decision aside and whether they agree with it or not he’s the elected President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief.”
Donald Trump learned some hard lessons during his first term.
This time he’s working to correct those problems.
