The DNI is a possibly a cult member. The head of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist. Deputy director too. Secretary of HHS is a full-blown crank with a brainworm. SecDef is a drunk, SecState is a lapdog. The DOGE guy, well… This is the guy who hired them. He still pretends he got elected in 2020. RE:
