MSNBC Analyst Warns ‘There Is A MAGA Team’ In Place At FBI That Will Scare Away Allies With Trump ‘Nonsense’
NBC News National Security Contributor Frank Figliuzzi told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah that there’s a “MAGA team” in place at the FBI that will scare allies away by “spouting” Trump “nonsense.”
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 Figliuzzi about the prospect of allies not wanting to share information with the U.S. because of Trump’s actions:
DEAN OBEIDALLAH: Getting back to the idea of other intelligence communities that you rely on sharing information with us. Does this is also make us less safe? because I’m getting a sense they’re not going to want to share with with this administration.
FRANK FIGLIUZZI: Now. First of all, it’s in part we have a president now who, after his last term in office, squirreled away hundreds of classified documents right there at the top secret, including those at the top secret level, some of them from foreign powers.
So they already know we we have no accountability here. We can’t even prosecute a president for this. We can’t prosecute people. So that’s the number one problem.
Number two, it’s all about relationships in the in the Intel community. So you cultivate a relationship with your counterpart at the Australian services, who I worked really closely with there, phenomenal people. And then here comes–. Okay, well, they’re all fired.
So you all all of your executive assistant directors are gone. Okay. Who’s in charge? Well, there’s an acting. But actually, she was an acting and now she’s in acting, EAD and now. So someone else is acting at the AD level and someone else is act. Right. It’s a whole domino effect. And so those relationships are gone. And now bring in. What if they bring in a MAGA replacement, which, by the way, are on the executive floor, seventh floor of FBI headquarters?
There are at least four advisers to the director that have been planted there by Trump. I don’t know how many people know this, but there’s there’s a MAGA team on the seventh floor of FBI headquarters.
And guess what? One of those individuals is actually a SpaceX Elon Musk employee. They got blue badges, which means they’re not contractors. They get access everywhere in the building.
And what if they meet with the Australians or the Brits and spout MAGA nonsense? Like “We don’t need allies, we don’t need NATO! We– America first!”.
That Allied representative is going to turn around and walk out the door.
