Trump-Hating Russia Hoax Investigator Fired As Top NSA Lawyer

NSA Lawyer Removal

- NSA removed April Doss after The Daily Wire reported on her past work involving Donald Trump.

- Doss investigated Trump for Democrats and supported censorship of misinformation.

- Her position as general counsel was deleted from the NSA's webpage.

- Former officials confirmed her removal to The New York Times.

- This action indicates Trump administration's effort to distance from discredited investigations.

Reactions from Officials

- Sen. Mark Warner criticized Doss's firing, defending her role in bipartisan investigations on Russian election interference.

- Warner called her dismissal politically motivated and part of a smear campaign.

Critiques of Doss's Actions

- Doss advocated using the security state to combat misinformation, displaying instances of error.

- She wrongly accused Trump of inciting an insurrection and inaccurately described the January 6 protest.

- She defended controversial treatments of Trump associates like Michael Flynn and Carter Page.

Political Context

- Doss's support for censorship conflicted with the Trump administration's policies, which criticized misinformation.

- NSA concealed her 2022 hiring from Congress to avoid political accusations.

Media Coverage and Misinformation

- After Doss's firing, media and Democrats spread misinformation, echoing a similar pattern from the Russia investigation.

- Warner suggested Doss's firing was influenced by Laura Loomer, labeled a “far-right conspiracy theorist. ”

- The framing of the story in the media often focused on Loomer's retweet rather than the actual findings reported by The Daily Wire.

Timelines and Developments

- Pentagon spokesperson indicated Doss's removal process began prior to Loomer's retweet, which followed the Daily Wire article's publication.
