Summary

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence in a 52-48 vote, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell breaking GOP ranks to oppose her.

Critics, including Democrats and some Republicans, raised concerns over her past meeting with Syria’s Assad, sympathetic comments on Russia, and prior support for Edward Snowden.

Gabbard reversed her stance on key intelligence policies during her confirmation.

    Gabbard is going to be compartmentalized. They’re never going to let her near anything that matters.

      For awhile. There’s four years of purging and loyalty tests available to wear down institutional resistance.

      Considering Gabbard’s history, by 2028, Putin will know what our intelligence community knows before Trump does.

        Trump will never know it because he can’t sit through the briefings. He prefers to get his info from Fox.
