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.

    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?
