"A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter. The filing of the complaint has prompted a continuing, behind-the-scenes struggle about how to assess and handle it, with the whistleblower's lawyer accusing Gabbard of stonewalling the complaint."
"A cloak-and-dagger mystery reminiscent of a John le Carré novel is swirling around the complaint, which is said to be locked in a safe. Disclosure of its contents could cause "grave damage to national security," one official said. It also implicates another federal agency beyond Gabbard's, and raises potential claims of executive privilege that may involve the White House, officials said."
"There is absolutely nothing in this story that seems suspicious except, you know, everything. In a statement, a spokeswoman for Gabbard's office confirmed that the complaint concerned Gabbard but dismissed it as "baseless and politically motivated." So the MAGA microchip is still functioning. Which is interesting because Gabbard had dropped out of sight until she turned up in Atlanta when the FBI seized election records of the 2020 presidential election."
A highly classified whistleblower complaint alleges wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The complaint is reportedly so sensitive that it has been locked in a safe and has prompted months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress. The filing generated a behind-the-scenes struggle over assessment and handling, with the whistleblower's lawyer accusing Gabbard of stonewalling while Gabbard's office calls the complaint baseless and politically motivated. Officials warn disclosure could cause grave damage to national security, note involvement of another federal agency, and say potential executive-privilege claims could involve the White House.
