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.

      no. Assange cares only for Assange.

      Snowden cared about Americans once, but was abandoned by his nation to a corrupt government.

      he’s an unwilling Russian asset now, think of it like indentured servitude for his life.

        Are you able to point to actions that Snowden has taken to negatively impact the interests of the US people or to materially aid Russia?

          no, and I don’t have to.

          It is my opinion after all.

          we’re allowed to share those on here still, right?

          edit: did I hurt all the snowbunnie feewings?

          Boohoo

            Not triggered in the slightest - I thought there might be something to learn. Thanks for clarifying that it was nothing more than the baseless opinion of a fragile moron.

              if you were a firearm you would be decommissioned for premature firing.

              Your trigger is so loose, a stiff breeze sets it off.

                It’d take something a little stronger than the opinion of infamous kid fucker GreenKnight23 to pull my trigger, champ.

                  I don’t know what’s more pathetic, your delivery or your lack of imagination.

                  Don’t expect me to report your comments either, your tiny comments of shame will live on to fester and eat away at you.

                  I won’t even remember your name tomorrow.

                    You’re going to drop the pretence that you’ve got anything worthwhile to say and sulk off back to your little lair? Try not to fuck any kids on the way out, eh?
