“What we were doing was we were trying to explain to the American people the national security consequences of another Trump presidency,” Mannina said. “Since the spring, I was working with these retired generals, retired ambassadors… They’re like one, two or three-star generals and admirals.

Conservatives on Twitter quickly responded to the recent news, urging the Pentagon to prosecute Mannina, calling him a “dangerous” traitor.

“This is why presidents should have the power to fire literally every executive-branch employee. Article II of the Constitution vests presidents with that power. Congress can’t take that away,” Rep. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote.

A combat veteran and bestselling author Sean also criticized Mannina, stating that “every single federal employee who works against the Commander in Chief should be fired.”
“Not a single American voted for a federal bureaucrat. If you don’t agree with POTUS, then quit,” he wrote.

Political activist Milo Yiannopoulos also remembered that “Mannina was busted by Predator DC coming to have sex with an underage girl in November 2021.”
“He was an active FBI agent at the time,” he wrote.
