Trump Fires NSA Director, His Deputy, and Six Other NSA Staffers; Speculation Is That Laura Loomer Showed Trump Evidence That They Were Disloyal Biden Holdovers Undermining His Executive Authority

Finally we're getting the "You're Fired's" we were promised in 2016.

The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency.
Haugh's removal as director of the NSA, the nation's primary cyber espionage and electronic eavesdropping agency, comes on the same day at least three White House National Security Council staffers reportedly also were shown the door.
The ousted NSA director's civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials.
Noble was reassigned to a role within the Pentagon's Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, according to the outlet.
The reason behind the NSA shakeup is unknown, the US officials told the outlet.
Haugh, who also serves as the Pentagon's Cyber Command chief, had led the NSA since February 2024.
...
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, slammed Haugh's dismissal.

The fact that Mark Warner and, as you'll see below, Martha Raddatz are protesting these firings is all the proof I need they are eminently justified and critical.

"General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?" Warner wrote on X.
The senator also took aim at President Trump -- referencing reports that the firings of National Security Council staffers came shortly after he took a meeting with right-wing influencer Laura Loomer.
"It is astonishing that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the NSA while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app -- even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office," Warner wrote in a separate post.

Loomer is a loon but crazy people do sometimes use their obsessiveness to dig up facts. Once again, the left is sputtering about who brought the information to Trump as a way to attack the information. Musk isn't firing people at DOGE; he brings the info to Trump, and Trump fires them.

But they fixate on Musk "not being elected."

Seems like the same jive here with Loomer. If Loomer brought Trump this information, it was still the duly elected-and-sworn president who read it and found it credible and took appropriate action.

As promised, crag-faced Baba Yaga and weepy Deep State nostalgist Martha Raddatz broke out her quaking Cry-Voice over the firings, which pretty much cinches it that they all leak to her.

Kaitlin Collins and her Magnum PI face-bush are also very upset:

CNN is MELTING DOWN over @LauraLoomer exposing the Biden holdovers that had NO BUSINESS being on Trump's team.

The way they describe these people justifies Trump firing them.

Kaitlan Collins REALLY doesn't like how Loomer said the White House would smell like curry if Harris… pic.twitter.com/yE63zGjzJb

As is Niccole Wallace, who looks like Lyme Disease made into human form:

Imagine thinking that you don’t serve at the pleasure of the President..

That’s why he was fired.. period!

Great work Laura!

Loomer explains some of her findings here:

Former NSA Director Haugh was Milley's pick. Wendy Noble is an Obama nut hugger. She's also James Clapper's protege. Apparently she spent a lot of her time at NSA promoting DEI.

88 Laura the Loon, I thought, actually did find a truffle a while back. Something about the CA GOP changing delegate rules/whatever (IIRC, in the hopes of helping DeSantis, in the primary phase).

Anyway, as usual lately, I don't think we have some crucial info about the NSC changes. Most NSC staff are detailees from the agencies/military. It is quite normal for them to come and go. Some of the young political appointees in Trump 1.0 have written (recently) that they and others urged a near total clean-out of the detailees in 2017, but it didn't happen.

Really hope we get some details on both the NSA and NSC changes. And whatever happened to Adm. Rogers, the actual heroic good guy who tipped off Trump in 2016 about surveillance against him (all by itself, possibly the largest politix-related scandal in US history, yet of course a nothingburger to the "press", the Beltway, the Dems, and most importantly to (apparently) many in the USG.

Lol

My dad told me Baba Yaga stories when i was little. In his version, she was a put upon old lady who was constantly being bothered by little kids tracking down her chicken-legged house and asking for favors, and she helped just to get them out of her hair.

I think now that some of that was autobiographical on his part.

Easier explanation is that the NSA database was being used consciously by deep state contractors passing along tidbits possibly to oligarchs and definitely the Dem party. We already know this was true circa 2015-16 regarding the Dem party but it is not a far stretch to figure key Dem donors aka oligarchs were also in the loop as to NSA intercepts.

Was Warner one of the crew that was protesting and petitioning for Pete Hegseth to not be confirmed? Was Warner also one of the ones that later called for Pete's ouster for Signalgate?

I don't know. I think the likelihood is greater than zero.

And not all who serve in the military are saints when they return. Take the vaunted senator (and one-time presidental contender) John McCain. He was one of the five known as the Keating Five after all.

Anyway, as usual lately, I don't think we have some crucial info about the NSC changes. Most NSC staff are detailees from the agencies/military. It is quite normal for them to come and go. Some of the young political appointees in Trump 1.0 have written (recently) that they and others urged a near total clean-out of the detailees in 2017, but it didn't happen.

Really hope we get some details on both the NSA and NSC changes. And whatever happened to Adm. Rogers, the actual heroic good guy who tipped off Trump in 2016 about surveillance against him (all by itself, possibly the largest politix-related scandal in US history, yet of course a nothingburger to the "press", the Beltway, the Dems, and most importantly to (apparently) many in the USG.

Just like Hoover's FBI files were. And Dulles' CIA files were.

How could it not be? That's valuable fucking information right there. If the NSA knows that Toyota is going to do [xyz], wouldn't it be in GM and Ford's (and, thus, in their calculation, America's) best interest to know about it to get ahead of it?

I don't go as far as think someone organized the operation but there had to be reasons why the Bin Laden and his gang knew that they could train for the operation in the US and not draw scrutiny from the Feds. It wouldn't be something you would assume without inside information. They could certainly have trained anywhere else in the world on simulators without tipping off the target. So my guess is some idiot in the deeps was having they, or part of them be on standby and this gave them the idea of using the same process for their own op.

313 We don't really know much about what the NSA does

According to every novel I've ever read that mentioned them, they know everything but they're all above-board a super-cereal about not infringing on a citizen's privacy. A lot of time they have to turn down requests from the FBI ham-and-egg division for information which could lead to preventing a nuclear explosion on US soil because it might expose some grandma's grocery list.

Full top-down dissolution and re-creation of the federal IC and LE system, broken out into five new agencies. Total dissolution, including private police forces within the agencies.
1. Domestic LE. Interstate and federal-specific crime only. Small. Few officers. Local liaison for most work outside of Treasury-specific and presidential/VIP protection
2. Domestic intelligence. Very short rope, very narrow mandate, lots of controls
3. Foreign intelligence. A lot more rope, wider mandate
4. Military intelligence. Very wide mandate, but only within military operations and preparedness with no outside activities
5. IA: the watchmen. Handle internal affairs, investigations and punishments for all of the other four. No more than 15% of the personnel may come from the other four, and none of its leadership. Agents are paid base salaries, with bounties for catching malfeasance. No compensation cap. It's a perverse incentive, but turn it inward.

Ah, yes. Not that specifically, but the place I worked the longest was fun. It was work and a lot of it, but it was also irreverent and fun. Silicon Valley outfit that was no longer a startup and entering the beginning of it's supersonic growth curve. Young company, not new. Real products. Massive growth. Playful place, for the few minutes a day you weren't working.

When the fun dries up, you're either about to get shit-canned and replaced, or the company is now a blue chip and needs to get serious. In my case, it was the blue chip thing.

379 One recruiter practically cried when I got another job during the time her client was conducting multiple unnecessary interviews with me. Said she was going to give that client a talking-to about his dilly-dallying.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at April 04, 2025 02:20 PM (3izae)

Was contacted by a recruiter right after college looking to fill a sales position. I went through all the interviews and got the offer but decided I didn't want to do sales. I wanted to do something with my degree.

I was shocked when the recruiter, who to that point was crazy nice, simply said, "We don't do that," and hung up on me.

I was, shall we say, quite naive to the whole recruiter getting paid thing, ha.

Biology isn't destiny, but it's close. I had a coworker and friend who was one of the guys in work conversations and became friends with them, and aside from doting on cats she didn't seem girly. When she had her first child and I visited we went to a mall and she had what I call "Mom-dar" where every baby or child instinctively caught her eye and she analyzed them in every detail, presumably comparing them to hers. I brought it up and she didn't even realized she was doing it.

I had a similar laugh when my older sister had children and used her newly acquired "mom voice" and our little brother instinctively snapped to attention with the kids.

I kept wondering how the people got across the border if our government or the NGOs did not fly them into the interior. You cannot cross the border illegally without paying the cartel. It used to be 8,000-10,000 per person pre-covid.

"We gave $13 to $15 billion a year to human traffickers. That's what this system did."

Harbor Freight or Amazon sell security screw bit sets to open such screws.

Also check YT citing your problem as someone has already solved the issue possibly and posted a video online or at least a thread somewhere that someone hacked the screw.

AOP's solution works if you can hold a dremel steady and it is not a recessed screw.

For tiny screws, you might also simply drill it out then retap the hole for a bigger small screw.
