From the [article](https://newrepublic.com/post/206135/tulsi-gabbard-whistleblower-report-defense-worse):
>In May, a whistleblower accused Gabbard of restricting the distribution of a highly classified intelligence report for political purposes, saying that the inspector general for the Intelligence Community had failed to report a potential crime to the Department of Justice—also for political reasons.
>Typically, an employee is able to share a complaint alleging wrongdoing directly with lawmakers, as long as the DNI instructs them on how to securely transmit it. But eight months later, the whistleblower’s complaint was still not transmitted to Congress—and was reportedly locked away in a safe, a person familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
>In a series of posts Tuesday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence tried to combat claims that Gabbard had “hindered dissemination” of the whistleblower complaint, citing a February 2 letter from Christopher Fox, the inspector general for the intelligence community.
>ODNI claimed the letter proved that security guidance was provided and that Gabbard had “acted immediately, delivered what was required, supported lawful whistleblower channels,” even for a complaint that was deemed “baseless.”
>But the letter doesn’t actually exonerate Gabbard, or her office.
>In the letter, Fox claimed that Gabbard was never actually notified about the complaint—even after the former Intelligence Community Inspector General Tamara Johnson determined in June that the complaint was of “urgent concern” if true, and the whistleblower asked that it be transmitted to the congressional intelligence committees.
…
It’s hard when she answers to so many bosses.
“Got worse…” Horseshit. It wasn’t bad for her to begin with. She won’t face any consequences for it whatsoever. For fuck sake, we don’t even know what she was hiding in the first place.
simple: if the complaint “was deemed baseless”, then let congress see the complaint.
If they can get away with being on the epstein list / protecting pedos, blowing up fishing boats, killing american citizens while terrorizing and abducting others, kidnapping sovereign leaders, commandeering ships and people, messing with elections, manipulating markets for personal gain, dismantling important government agencies, leaking intelligence secrets on signal, et cetera, et cetera, then they will get away with whatever this is. And getting caught in a lie doesn’t matter. Getting away with it when everyone knows otherwise is a power flex and why the harrdcore cult will never waiver
Welp, we’re finally at literal treason.
She’s going to El Salvador in her underwear, too!
The “if you have nothing to hide…” crowd always seems to have some really good excuse for jamming up the wheels of justice.
Nothing ever happens to them.
Accountability is dead is this country.
Can’t wait for the finger waving from Congress.
Wear your Red MAGA hats proudly so we can easily identify the pedo and treason protectors.
Is it possible the person who whistleblew is still able to speak out? Testify with protection?
Congressional hearing now.
Lawlessness at every turn, aided and abetted by self-interested legislator flunkies. It is really shocking to see the rule of law thrown away for peanuts.
Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset.
Most compromised administration in US history.
Tulsi Gabbard? The cult member who has been a Russian Stooge for a decade?
Are we finally acknowledging her name is actually Veronika Chechnakov ?
Im on edge about this
I really hope America has its Nuremberg moment with this entire administration.
Gabbard’s days are numbered. She was always cannon fodder for Trump to sacrifice when the heat came, regardless.
No loss, and when she gets gutted maybe she’ll give up the slimy details of the administration. It always happens and it’s always just a matter of time.
Buried at the bottom:
Here’s what Fox’s letter does confirm: “In the present case, the intelligence report from which the complaint was derived is the most sensitive to-date received by IC OIG as an ‘urgent concern’ complaint,” he wrote.
The letter also suggests that ODNI spokesperson Olivia Coleman [lied in a statement](https://x.com/DNIspox/status/2018313922617418010?s=20) Monday when she claimed “the Whistleblower’s complaint is with the Congressional Intelligence Committees for review.”
She was trying to keep the paychecks coming in.
You know it was info to Putin. 1🎯🎯%.
Like it matters. The Republicans will block any attempts at accountability.
Conservatives like the lady with the comic book villain haircut. They’re in on the joke. They literally wore shirts that said they’d rather be Russian than Democrats.
Yet consequences…
Libs and their inefficient bureaucracies taking almost a year to process a complaint form!
At this point if I was the whistleblower I’d schedule a news conference and let it out to the world.
I wish the whistleblower would just leak the info anyway…. Like seriously.… did anyone thing going through the proper channels with the Trump administration would actually listen to a whistleblower?
She is a Russian asset, even Hillary called her out publicly years ago.
It didn’t get worse because nothing will happen
Where are the people who voted for her? Not one word of regret? Nothing?
Have the whistleblower testify behind closed doors, under penalty of perjury, and from a remote location—and then they can determine the depth and severity of the complaint.
Queen Lili’uokalani would be so disappointed in Gabbard.
You see, you can lead a horse to water… But if it snitched, you can also try to drown it for 8 months.
Well you see was- the whistleblower was about me and I decided to personally investigate myself and doing no wrong doing.
8 months ago. This traitor couldn’t keep her shit together for a goddamned month before she burned America
