As President Donald Trump starts his second term in office, one of the over 200 executive orders he is planning to sign will include a revocation of the security clearances for 51 former and current intelligence officials who claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

According to the New York Post, President Trump’s executive order will name all 51 individuals who signed an open letter in October of 2020 claiming that the revelations of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which included proof of his lucrative foreign business deals in exchange for access to his father Joe Biden, had “the classic earmarks” of “Russian disinformation.” The group has since come to be known as the “Spies Who Lie.”

As President Donald Trump resumes office, illegal aliens in the sanctuary city of New York are already fleeing out of fear of the expected deportation operations that the 45th and 47th president has promised.

As the New York Post reports, several illegals admitted that their reason for fleeing was the expectation that the new president will follow through on his campaign pledge to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history. A 31-year-old Venezuelan illegal named Kervin Nava confessed that he is “making arrangements somewhere else,” while another illegal from Colombia, 29-year-old Kevin Llena, said that “the idea of raids at the hotel…worries me.”

Commentary: President Trump Can Make American Intelligence Great Again

Eight years ago, after Donald Trump’s historic 2016 presidential election victory, I published an article with the same title above, listing urgent recommendations for President Trump to reform America’s then-17 intelligence agencies so they could revert to the great agencies they once were that helped our nation win the Cold War. I believed at the time that the growing politicization of U.S. intelligence, especially concerning the Russia collusion hoax during the 2016 campaign, and bloated intelligence bureaucracies had damaged the reputation of our intelligence agencies and undermined their ability to provide crucial intelligence support to the president.

After the extreme weaponization of U.S. intelligence against the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns and his administration, as well as woke mismanagement of intelligence agencies by the Biden administration, intelligence reform is far more urgent today than when Mr. Trump assumed the Oval Office in January 2017.
