Summary
Republican senators are privately pushing to review Tulsi Gabbard’s FBI file amid concerns about her alignment with Russian interests following her nomination as Trump’s director of national intelligence.
Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. state secrets, has drawn particular scrutiny, as has her history of echoing Russian talking points on Ukraine and Syria.
While GOP senators are publicly deferring to Trump’s pick, some, including Sens. Mike Rounds and Susan Collins, emphasize the importance of full background checks and hearings to address potential security risks.
Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden
Yeah, Republicans WOULD be upset about her only correct stance, even if it’s a past one 🤦
face it man, Snowden is a Russian asset at this point.
he didn’t start out that way be given the options of tea, window, or sabotage he chose sabotage.
Being an American liability doesn’t make you a Russian asset.
it heavily implies it if a genocidal dictator shelters you.
If your passport is cancelled and transport is blocked then you don’t get much choice over who shelters you.
that’s besides the point. he’s there and it’s death or sell out national secrets.
I get it, doesn’t make him any less of a Russian asset.
His internal knowledge of the CIA and NSA gained as a contractor is an American liability.
That doesn’t necessarily make him a Russian Asset.
do you honesty believe that Putin would allow him to live as long as he has in Russia without some form of cooperation? I mean, the guy outlived the “thorn in Americans side” trope about five years ago.
The only logical conclusion I can come to is that he’s selling strategic processes and how Americans think for his safety.
if you disagree why do you think Putin has allowed him to stay alive this long?
