Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is notably absent from a major intelligence briefing with the Senate on Thursday.
Gabbard’s sidelining comes shortly after President Donald Trump bluntly said that her testimony from March, when she asserted Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, was “wrong.” It also comes amid a damning intelligence leak that weakened the White House’s claims regarding the effectiveness of Trump’s strike on Iran.
Likely did this because if the briefing is under oath and Gabbard is forced to explain when the IC changed the assessment about the timeline for a nuclear weapon she will have two options:
1. Outright lie and risk perjury
2. Admit that Trump’s claims did not align with the intelligence community and his justification was likely based on Bibi telling him and not US assessments.

She’s a hack as it is but at the same time if anyone in the country that *should* know what the real intel is, it is her. I don’t trust her but I trust her intel FAR more then I ever will trust anything out of Trump’s mouth.

A great way to deal with a narcissist is to humiliate him in public. More than likely most of these “leaks” for whatever policy, stance etc are being done by the secretary of that particular agency when Trump tries to throw them under the proverbial bus.
We get to reap the benefit of their incompetence.

The best part about this is how Trump’s morons are pissed about the leak while also claiming the leak is a lie. They’re too stupid to understand that if it’s a leak that it’s not a lie and if it’s a lie it’s not a leak.

She’s Putin’s asset! She should be removed from office.

It’s some quality schadenfreude to see this Russian asset get thrown under the bus, but she’s literally the Director of National Intelligence. Dropping the DNI from intelligence briefings is the height of dysfunction. This also follows trump and Gabbard’s purging of the National Security Council.
So who is feeding trump intelligence assessments if no one’s left? Is Israel just feeding trump targets to bomb? Moscow and Tel Aviv are apparently in control of US „intelligence,“ it definitely isn’t trump’s cabinet.
He hires only the best most competent people then fires them for being terrible at their job.
Solid plan for success.

When I argue with Trumpies on Reddit they claim Iran had 60% enriched Uranium that could very quickly and easily be enriched to 90% to become weapons grade.
It’s like, okay, where is the intelligence that they were planning to do that?
I have your beloved Trump administration’s intelligence on this matter. Their official public stance was that Iran was not manufacturing nuclear weapons, and their nuclear weapons program remains completely suspended as it has been for over two decades.
So why is them having 60% enriched uranium a concern?
They were not violating international law. They were not violating a nuclear deal. They would have been! But Trump ripped up the nuclear deal and had no plan to replace it. We had an agreement they couldn’t enrich uranium to that level, and we told them they are no longer bound by that agreement!
There is no intelligence assessment from the US that Iran was enriching weapons grade uranium. There isn’t even one from Israel! They used the same shakey argument. They have 60% enriched uranium so they are a threat that must be violently attacked…
They could have just loed and say they have intelligence confirming that Iran was in the process of enriching their uranium to weapons-grade levels.
You know why they didn’t use that lie? Because it’s the EXACT lie they told to invade Iraq. “We have intelligence proving that Saddam Hussein has nuclear weapons” and it was a lie. No one would believe that same lie a second time. The Republicans who started the Iraq war now claim to be the most anti-“middle east war” people around.

Ok, so why not just fire her then if she’s useless?

Just a reminder…
During Trump’s last „big beautiful term“ he had a 94% turnover rate of his administration… But that’s not all… Of those that were replaced… Another 42% quit or were fired. That’s why by the end of that term a large number of the positions were ‚“acting“ positions.

It’s not like she didn’t know or have proof he would do this to her. Her lust for revenge and power coupled with being an asset to VP enabled this to happen.
No one should trust Trump. Even his own kids don’t trust him…despite what they want you to believe.
