Chat logs from the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Intelink" messaging platform, obtained by researchers from the conservative Manhattan Institute reportedly via sources within the NSA, revealed employees from various intelligence agencies discussing their experiences with gender-reassignment surgery, artificial genitalia, hormone therapy, polyamory and pronoun usage. Some of these agencies reportedly include the Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Naval Intelligence and the NSA.

After the interlink chat logs went viral following a report by journalist Chris Rufo, an NSA spokesperson told Fox that it was "actively investigating" the secret chats.

"NSA hosts the Intelink service for the Intelligence Community. As the service provider, NSA takes very seriously the allegations in this reporting, and, if accurate, they would be violations of longn-standing Intelligence Community policy," the spokesperson said. "The Intelligence Community places great trust in those personnel that we authorize to access U.S. Government systems, and in return we expect full compliance with all laws, policies and regulations which govern our work."

Newly minted Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also weighed in on the chats, calling the behavior "unacceptable," and saying that "those involved WILL be held accountable."

Update (1210ET): In response to the report on secret 'kink' chat rooms within the US intelligence community, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Gen. Mike Flynn (Ret.) warned: "There are massive amounts of sickening chat rooms and groups the USIC maintains and many on government unclassified and classified systems."

What's more - these groups, which as you can see below, were full of mentally ill trannies, and "people communicating with each other in their own little code words who are in opposition to the @realDonaldTrump administration," Flynn continued, suggesting that they represent "a massive CI (counterintelligence) problem and they need to be immediately shut down."

Flynn suggests that "decent CI people" investigate them "to determine if subversive behavior is occurring, and if so, prosecute those conducting it AND then expose them."
