Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden
Yeah, Republicans WOULD be upset about her only correct stance, even if it's a past one 🤦
Whether or not you agree with notorious intelligence leaks, and I'm not saying I don't, it's not a great look for the Director of National Intelligence to support the leaking of sensitive intelligence documents.
Well, the sensitive intelligence documents showed that the NSA was interpreting the law in a way that goes way beyond what Congress allowed.
Having someone at the top that agrees that their department has limits regarding the US constitution is prepared to enforce those limits does NOT sound like a bad thing.
Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a breach of security.
It's like applying for bank security after praising Pretty Boy Floyd.
The Senate receiving every bit of intelligence on a nominee from every government organization should be a requirement. If there's a national security issue with disclosure to the general assembly, that information should still go to the committees/Senators that have those clearances, like the Intelligence Committee.
"Although FBI file reviews are standard for presidential cabinet candidates..."
I don't disagree with you, but this is a non-story. The committee asks for and receives this information as a matter of course
Apart from the fact that the transition team hasn’t signed the required paperwork to actually kick that off, sure.
The fucker won't sign it either. It will go to inauguration and he will proclaim its not needed by executive decision.
The call is coming from inside the house..
Well, Senate, technically. But the joke was perfect.
Tulsi is a Kremlin asset and she qualifies as a Russian SVR RF agent!
Tulsi Gabbard is literally in a cult. And I don't mean the GOP.
