Dem Dan Goldman Torches 'Trump's Buffoons' At Intel Agencies: 'Double Agents' Will Refuse To Work With Them

Source: MEDIAite

Feb 8th, 2025, 1:57 pm


Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah that “Trump buffoons” will harm national security because “double agents” won’t trust them to handle information properly.

Despite once seeming to be in doubt, loyalist cabinet positions appear to be headed for confirmation — including Kash Patel as FBI director and Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, and unconfirmed DOGE master Elon Musk has been spearheading buyouts of multiple agencies’ employees.

On Thursday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, Obeidallah asked Rep. Goldman “Are you concerned he’s actually make our nation less safe?” — and got an emphatic response:

DEAN OBEIDALLAH: Are you concerned he’s actually make our nation less safe?

REP. DAN GOLDMAN: I’m not concerned–. I know he is making our nation less safe. And it takes too long. It takes a long time to explain how. But I alluded to it. These CIA agents, these FBI agents are well-trained. Many have learned of different languages. Many are expert at developing sources. Now, sources are double agents from other governments who are giving us information. That information is essential to how we defend our homeland and our national security on a global stage. If you are firing these people, you are putting in lackeys for Donald Trump who have no experience, no ability to do this. There isn’t a single double agent who is going to continue to give information to one of Donald Trump’s buffoons that he just places in the CIA to do his dirty work.

The stupidity of firing all those folks is so overwhelming.

They won't replace the FBI agents except, perhaps, with "true believers" doing dear leader's commands.

I think FBI and CIA officers should use every legal tool at their disposal to keep their positions, but if they are ultimately fired perhaps they could be rehired by State Governments in Blue States. This is not a perfect solution but it might help to preserve the professional expertise of these people. They could be of great use in Democratic strongholds like New York, California, and others.

The criminal and spy syndicates would be having a whoop-ass party rampaging all over the US and beyond, since nobody but nobody would be left to keep the gates barred.

Of course in the real world things like that would never happen.
