They're Fired: 100 Intelligence Officials In Sick Chat Group 'Terminated And Their Security Clearances Revoked'
WEDNESDAY, FEB 26, 2025 - 07:25 AM
Update (2210ET): DNI Tulsi Gabbard announced on Tuesday that
100 individuals in the intelligence community have been identified as having "contributed to and participated in" the sick internal chat group who will be fired and have their security clearances revoked.
"There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this - what is really
just an egregious violation of trust. What to speak of, like, basic rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked," Gabbard told
Fox News' Jesse Watters.
"But the thing here Jesse is - you've got to take a step back, because
this is barely scratching the surface. When you see what these people are saying, and thanks to Chris Rufo for putting this all online -
they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use, to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. And they were brazen in doing this because
, when was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years. Certainly not over the last 10 maybe 20 years, and we look at some of the biggest violations of the American peoples' trust in the intelligence community. So, today's action in holding these individuals accountable is just the beginning of what we're seeing across the Trump administration - which is carrying out the mandate the American people gave him."
Watch:
Update (1530ET): The National Security Agency (NSA) is now investigating federal employees within the intelligence community for allegedly misusing an internal agency messaging board
to discuss all sorts of (transgender-heavy) sexual fantasies under the guise of DEI, officials tell
Fox News.
Chat logs from the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Intelink" messaging platform, obtained by researchers from the conservative Manhattan Institute reportedly via sources within the NSA, revealed employees from various intelligence agencies discussing their experiences with gender-reassignment surgery, artificial genitalia, hormone therapy, polyamory and pronoun usage. Some of these agencies reportedly include the Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Naval Intelligence and the NSA.
After the interlink chat logs went viral following a report by journalist Chris Rufo, an NSA spokesperson told
Fox that it was "
actively investigating" the secret chats.
"NSA hosts the Intelink service for the Intelligence Community. As the service provider, NSA takes very seriously the allegations in this reporting, and,
if accurate, they would be violations of longn-standing Intelligence Community policy," the spokesperson said. "The Intelligence Community places great trust in those personnel that we authorize to access U.S. Government systems, and in return
we expect full compliance with all laws, policies and regulations which govern our work."
Newly minted Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also weighed in on the chats, calling the behavior "unacceptable," and saying that "those involved WILL be held accountable."

Update (1210ET): In response to the report on secret 'kink' chat rooms within the US intelligence community, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Gen. Mike Flynn (Ret.) warned: "
There are massive amounts of sickening chat rooms and groups the USIC maintains and many on government unclassified and classified systems."
What's more - these groups, which as you can see below, were full of mentally ill trannies, and "
people communicating with each other in their own little code words who are in opposition to the @realDonaldTrump administration," Flynn continued, suggesting that they represent "a massive CI (counterintelligence) problem and they need to be immediately shut down."
Flynn suggests that "decent CI people" investigate them "to determine if subversive behavior is occurring, and if so, prosecute those conducting it AND then expose them."
