Tulsi Gabbard Installs Own Adviser in Agency Tasked With Watching Her (06/06/25)

The intelligence community’s watchdog office has a mole in it.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard squeezed one of her own advisers into the subagency tasked with monitoring her, potentially compromising the office’s integrity, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with The Washington Post.

That plant is Dennis Kirk, who was installed in the office on May 9. Kirk still reports to the director of national intelligence, one of the officials told the Post.

Kirk is a known player in Trumpworld. He was present during Donald Trump’s first term, serving as an adviser in the Office of Personnel Management. He also co-authored a portion of Project 2025 that focused on the federal workforce.

"He also co-authored a portion of Project 2025 that focused on the federal workforce."

A Curtis Yarvin/Thiel nutcase.

Fucking wonderful.
