Trump Makes Bill Pulte the Acting Director of National Intelligence - A Man with ZERO INTEL EXPERIENCE

In case you forgot, Bill Pulte is the Federal Housing Finance Agency head who proved his loyalty to the president by combing through the mortgages of Trump’s enemies, such as New York Attorney General Letitia James and Fed Governor Lisa Cook, for things that the DOJ might be able to prosecute. It’s unclear what intelligence community credentials he has, though, given the way he used his power at FHFA and as chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, that question is probably missing the point.

Though the role is acting, acting heads can end up serving for quite a while. Pulte is replacing Tulsi Gabbard.

This guy has absolutely NO intel experience - but he has used his current role as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to pursue phony mortgage fraud allegations against Trump’s political opponents

Be afraid - be very afraid.

1. But does he play well with Putin?

Krasnov needs a man he can trust.

2. Let me fix that for you...

A Man with Zero Intelligence. Period.

The same person that trolled ( I believe illegally ) through mortgage applications to try to bring criminal fraud convictions on various Trump enemies.

After this administration is done, he should be going to prison for a very long time.

3. Designated Patsy for the next Nation Security Intel failure?

11. One where they can swoop in and buy up the real estate cheaply.

And, build another Trump Dump and Pulte homes. Trump didn't appoint Pulte because of his ass-kissing, although that helps. He's there to scout out potential places around the world to stir up shit, so they can steal that land for their own developments. Kind of like Gaza.

4. Sounds like perfectly qualified..

For this clown show administration hed got the perfect qualifications to hold the position it sounds like.

5. He'll be shutout by professionals

Has no idea how 'the game ' is played.

6. Meh!

He is merely fulfilling the requirements of a Kakistocracy

Kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪˈstɒkrəsi/ KAK-ist-OK-rə-see) is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people.

7. PT Job

So national security is a part time job

[sop]

8. "The Federal Housing Finance Agency head who proved his loyalty to the president..."

That's the only job requirement anyone needs to work in this administration: blind, unquestioning loyalty.

9. It doesn't matter as long as his lips fit comfortably

12. Absolutely insane

This position is important, that's why it exists. If you think national security is important, you fill this position with someone who has experience.

13. according to hartmann he stole mortgage records of tRumps enemies during doge

so the DOJ could investigate/ harass them. Now he will be able to do it on a bigger scale using spy agency weapons against all of US.

14. Yup - hg's perfect choice!

[Martin Eden]

15. Under Pulte, National Intelligence will be tasked with vindictive stupidity.

What happens to providing intel so our government can protect America from enemies foreign and domestic?
