President Donald Trump recently fired National Security Agency/Cyber Command Commander Gen. Timothy Haugh, and the reasoning for his firing is just now coming to light.

According to Breitbart, investigative journalist Laura Loomer claimed credit for "referring" Haugh for firing after she pointed out that former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley appointed him.

In a lengthy X post, Loomer described why she worked to convince the president's team that Haugh needed to go.

Loomer said Haugh had "no place" serving in the Trump administration given that he was hand-selected by Milley.

What did she say?

Loomer held nothing back in her explanation as to why she convinced the president that Haugh needed the boot.

"As a Biden appointee, General Haugh had no place serving in the Trump admin given the fact that he was HAND PICKED by General Milley, who was accused of committing treason by President Trump. Why would we want an NSA Director who was referred to Biden after being hand selected by Milley, who told China he would side with them over Trump!?!?" she wrote.

Loomer added, "he vetters should have been more critical, given the fact that the Pentagon revoked the security detail and clearance for retired general Mark Milley, who called President Trump a FASCIST. Why would we want Milley’s hand picked choice for NSA DIRECTOR?We do not! And thus, he was referred for firing."

She pointed out that the NSA is the most powerful intel agency in the world and insisted that a Biden-appointee should not hold that position.

"President Trump needs to have his own trusted NSA Director, appointed by him. We can’t allow for the NSA to be used to spy on President Trump and his Allies again," Loomer wrote.

She added that she believes anyone appointed by Obama or Biden "appear to lack integrity and lack the moral clarity to not weaponize their positions."

Not the first

Haugh is now the second four-star general to be given his walking papers.

His firing followed that of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles “CQ” Brown, who was a Biden-appointed commander.

Breitbart noted:

 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs serves as the president’s top military adviser, and presidents are free to choose who they want in that role at any time, although it is normally a four-year assignment.

It'll be interesting to see who else gets their walking papers in the coming weeks and months.
