Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.
🚨A 40-year-old Florida Trump supporter who posted racist cotton-picking memes and meme’s calling America’s first black First Lady a man on social media, Trent Plather, has been arrested for the second time on child s*xual abuse materials charges.
Police found 42,000 explicit images of children on his devices and he illegally possessed firearms as a convicted felon.
Prather also posted images of George Floyd’s face printed on pillows calling them “knee pads.” Floyd is a black man who died in Minneapolis after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost 10 minutes.
More of his disgusting Facebook posts are in the thread👇
The first thing Bill Pulte did when Trump made him housing director was pull Democrats loan information to manufacture mortgage fraud cases. What do you think he will do as Director of National Intelligence?
Pulte's only qualification is that he is willing to abuse his authority to destroy Trump's political enemies.
He has zero national security experience. He's going to DNI to spy on Trump's opponents ahead of the election.
Period. Stop.
And Trump doesn't care if you know it.
Trump appoints a totally unqualified political crony who's shown a willingness to violate ethics rules and probably the law to go after Trump's political opponents as Acting Director of National Intelligence.
A ludicrous appointment, but a very dangerous one.
Let’s find an unqualified nepo-baby with zero experience in military, intelligence or government service who repeatedly says dumb things and has spent his time as housing finance director trying to prosecute Dems & make him DNI. What a joke this admin is.
