Insiders within the Intelligence Community (IC), and specifically ongoing operators within the CIA, are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
The least understood issue right now, is how isolated and alone Tulsi Gabbard is on her mission to bring sunlight to the Intelligence Community weaponization and corruption.
…”There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things”…
The IC uses various media leaks and narrative engineers as the tools against their enemy; in this case DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
The most common arrow in their manipulative quiver is the term “sources and methods.” The Washington Post notes how the Intelligence Community is upset about DNI Tulsi Gabbard compromising their ‘sources and methods’ by releasing the House Intelligence Report that deconstructed the Russiagate Intelligence Community Assessment.
What has them so upset is Tulsi’s release of the House Intel report. This is the report that drove the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago in an effort to retrieve it from Trump. This is the report that outlines how the CIA fabricated the Russiagate claims. Tulsi is being targeted for releasing this specific report. That tells you how important it is to the CIA.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The document that Gabbard ordered released on July 23 is a 46-page report stemming from a review begun in 2017 by majority Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee. It takes issue with U.S. intelligence agencies’ finding earlier that year that Russian President Vladimir Putin developed a preference for Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton and aspired to help him win the election.
[…] The House report is the most sensitive document the Trump administration has yet released, and details of how its publication occurred have not been previously reported.
[…] The document contains multiple references to CIA human sources reporting on Putin’s plans. Such sources are among the agency’s most closely guarded secrets. After the report was completed in 2020, it was considered so sensitive that it remained in storage at the CIA rather than on Capitol Hill.
[…] as the Trump administration prepared to release the report publicly, there were multiple versions of it circulating, some with more redactions to protect sensitive information, current and former U.S. officials said. Gabbard, who has led the administration’s effort to relitigate the 2016 campaign, pushed to release as much as possible, they said.
“CIA put forward their proposed redactions and edits to the document,” said a person familiar with the process. Gabbard “has greater declassification authority than all other intelligence elements and is not required to get their approval prior to release.”
Trump then approved the publication of the version from Gabbard’s office “with minimal redactions and no edits,” this person said.
[…] It is unclear exactly how Trump gave his approval, or if he examined the competing versions of the House report beforehand. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. (READ MORE)
~ The HPSCI Report is Here ~
The HPSCI report release is what is driving the CIA bananas.
Despite efforts by Donald Trump to declassify the HPSCI report before leaving office, the CIA never released it. No one except the internal Intelligence Community (CIA/DNI) had seen the HPSCI report until Tulsi Gabbard released it on July 22nd. This is a key point, because the HPSCI report touches on all of the other declassified evidence recently released.
The authors of the HPSCI report had reviewed all of the same information John Durham reviewed. The HPSCI report walks through the entire construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment ordered by President Obama on December 6, 2016.
Arguably, because of the underlying evidence reviewed to produce it, the HPSCI report is the most critical of the declassified release in the last few months. The HPSCI report walks through the timeline, as the ICA was created between early to late December 2016.
Do NOT forget. Tulsi Gabbard is essentially all alone on this mission of sunlight.
Tulsi’s isolation is the one issue people do not quite seem to understand.
Pam Bondi (AG) isn’t with her. Director Kash Patel (FBI) and Director John Ratcliffe (CIA) are not with her. Susie Wiles (CoS) is not with her. In all of these efforts DNI Tulsi Gabbard is all alone.
The Israel-First media and activist group is also aligned against her.
If you doubt that’s the scenario, show me a single voice from inside the administration who stood up to (even gently) defend her when Tulsi was attacked about her position on the Iran nuclear capabilities.
Tulsi is all alone. She is all alone on this mission and even physically all alone when on task within the administration. Watch for it and you can clearly see it. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
This is not about President Trump per se’. The Office of the President is not a significant participant at the moment, and those who control power within the Oval Office keep Tulsi isolated and away from the President. However, if DNI Tulsi Gabbard turns against Palantir, she will be removed. Full stop.
We saw those Palantir boundary rails surface when DNI Gabbard was not fully behind the bombing of Iran.
People argue against the power of the ODNI, saying the office is a functionary only. These are historically old arguments by people who do not fully understand the nature of the silo system.
Yes, this is the typical viewpoint; however, readers on these pages will note that I have said repeatedly for years now, the DNI position can be used for powerfully good purposes.
The DNI can look at anything in Washington DC. Anything, inside any silo.
As noted by the angered WaPo, “Gabbard has greater declassification authority than all other intelligence elements and is not required to get their approval prior to release.”
The DNI can look at anything in any silo and put sunlight upon it. Yet, people claim the DNI has no power. lol
The ability to bring sunlight is power.
Go Tulsi!
Expose it all. The public DEMANDS it. So tired of the political corruption. Just blow it up already.
And, so many of their Sources and Methods are corrupt or illegal so, of course, they don’t want them exposed.
Correct.
Sources = your private communications in any format.
Methods = violating your constitutional rights.
Sources = We read the papers
Methods – We make up stuff for the papers to write.
Concur! Blow it ALL up, burn them ALL down. We, the people, deserve and demand this.
And maximum prison sentences with NO chance of parole for ALL IC LEAKERS* duly convicted in a legitimate court of law.
*lawful WHISTLEBLOWERS exempt!
AND ELIMINATE THE DC District Courts.
ALL cases involving Federal & DC Politicians, and AGENCY related transgressions … RANDOM LOTTERY ASSIGNMENTS throughout the rust belt, the deep south, the Midwest, Gitmo … ANYWHERE but in DC.
Agreed. We lit the fuse by electing Trump. Just do it!
In my opinion, Tulsi isn’t alone. Its that her allies stay well hidden. They don’t have her power but they can feed her when they are able. Also, from past observations, President Trump may accept advise but he doesn’t always follow it. Right now they’re keeping him busy trying to save the world, a quest he assuredly believes in, yet he has given Tulsi great power and so he must trust her. No man/woman is an island though I know you know a lot more about it than I do about what goes on Sundance.
A thoughtful observation about an excellent SD article. My takeaway: Even if Tulsi is not _ALL_ alone, she needs (and deserves) more allies, both vocal and quiet.
Lacking direct insight, I would like to think that RFKjr is at least a kindred spirit of Tulsi’s: Both Democrats; both energetically taking major steps vs well-entrenched bad actors; both under relentless attack for it.
It is always encouraging that, when one stands alone, others will rise to stand with them. Yet it is good to have those who clap while sitting, in her case, helping without making it known. Better to be a helpful shadow than a solid piece of visible rock.
“The first follower is a concept in leadership that refers to the first person who supports a leader’s idea or movement, helping to legitimize it and encourage others to join. This role is crucial because it demonstrates to others that following the leader is acceptable and can lead to a larger movement.”
Follow the leader when the leader is worth following.🇱🇷
Russ, great point on RFK, Jr. Tulsi confirmed pretty much this in her interview with Miranda Devine.
She has figures (Ghosts) all around her you can bet
She has stated a few times that there have been a lot of whistleblowers coming forward.
Along with Director Tulsi Gabbard, we should recognize CEO Devin Nunes for his honesty, forsight, and stamina.
Bring him in as special advisor.
Too closely connected to the President to be appointed.
Had to search around a bit to affirm my aging memory but Devin Nunes is already a special advisor of sorts.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/president-trump-announces-the-presidents-intelligence-advisory-board/
Tulsi you may be the first Woman President.
We need some one in the lineup that has her honesty and stamina. VP for Vance?
Vance for Vp maybe. In my opinion she out shines him and so far I haven’t seen the strings.
Wouldn’t that get the dem cretins’ collective goat. Instant apoplectic meltdown.
I’d vote for her as quickly as anybody else I could name.
I honestly am impressed with her on many levels. She appears to check all the boxes of leadership. For me she belongs in the group of the highest level of trust within this admin. In that group I would incl ude Russ at OMB, Tom at Ice, and of course our President.
I single these out because they dont make excuses. They are forthright in explaining what they are doing and why, while they do it.
We are with you, Tulsi. God bless and protect, Tulsi Gabbard.
The rot in the various “Alphabet” agencies has been there for a very long time. My decades-long attempt (with others) to bring out the truth about the crash of TWA 800 in 1996 has proven to me without a doubt that these vile people will do ANYTHING to cover up their actions. We must all hope that Tulsi’s efforts will not lead to an attempt on her life. She is a very brave woman and deserves all our respect.
And prayers!
And that was after the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of JFK, the coup which removed a very popular president, Richard Milhous Nixon, the very strange bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in OKC, and before 9/11, before the abrupt implementation of “The Patriot Act,” before the two coup attempts – or one long-running attempt, really – before the Whitmer kidnapping hoax, before the fedsurrection, before the stolen election, and so much more.
In the Neil Oliver/Michael Shallenger interview someone here kindly posted yesterday, Oliver made the point that we may not be enjoying less freedom than 50, 60 or 80 years ago, we simply may not have been as free as we thought we were; due to the internet now we know how it really is.
My view of the government systems in my country have done a 180* in the last decade.
”Land of the free, Home of the brave.” I love this anthem but I no longer believe it.
Head of 4th branch but not fully in control is a tough job.
Are you in touch with Jack Cashill?
The rats that are against Sunlight need to be fired. Government of the people, by the people, for the people. Those that want to protect corrupt institutions or corrupt actions need to go. The use of plausibile deniability needs to go. Any operations need to be done with sunlight and accountability. Spies need to spy. If action needs to happen, the action needs to be approved by the President and happen through the Department of Defense with all of Us knowing.
We are proved that without Sunlight and Accountability Evil sprouts up.
This from the WaPo:
“It is unclear exactly how Trump gave his approval, or if he examined the competing versions of the House report beforehand. The White House did not respond to a request for comment”
And my mind mind immediately did some slight edits and I saw this:
It is unclear exactly how
TrumpBiden gave his approval, or if he examined the competing versions of theHouse reportPardon Request beforehand. The White Housedid notwas never asked to respond to a request for comment.That rings true. We cannot trust them….any of them. The underbelly in DC misrepresents EVERYTHING. We must look for dark meanings in everything they say.
There is always an ulterior motive as well as another meaning that they are hiding.
Their “sources” were proven liars and their “methods” were illegal. Small wonder they don’t want them to see the light of day.
Use some of the retired military from Newsmax to help. They are already helping as advisors. They dealt with scum cia in Afghanistan.
And if needed, “Making shit up”, is the proven fall-back to most bureaucratic cat-fights.
If we have defunded USAID and NED, all those CIA operatives managing that money need to be terminated.
Arrested, tried and hung is better
They’re holding we the people hostage
and stealing our money in the process.
All of his Cabinet is representing MAGA and President Trump in an extraordinary manner. I recall the sabotage and pain of the 45 Cabinet.
Sleep with one eye open, Sister.
Oh, how the worm turns. Seems I remember on these very pages in the past Tulsi was badmouthed along with Rubio and Vance.
Well, we all grow and learn… don’t you?
Not sure the word badmouth is correct. Seems more in the line of doubted. Too many turns on the road of MAGA to trust without verify.
I agree. So thats “good mouth”. Agree or disagree sounds better.
True. When she got into gear it changed.
Gracious and glorious God, I pray for your protection over Tulsi Gabbard and her family. I ask that you send your angels to stand in the gap for her and protect her. I ask for your blessings and peace for Tulsi and her family.
Psalm 140:1-11 NKJV
Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
[2] Who plan evil things in their hearts;
They continually gather together for war.
[3] They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
[4] Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
[5] The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
[6] I said to the LORD: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
[7] O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
[8] Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah
[9] “As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
[10] Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits,
that they rise not up again.
[11] Let not a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”
In Jesus name Amen.
Amen
God Bless Tulsi. A remarkable hero with tremendous courage.
I hope CTH will repeatedly post this article and further supportive article of DNI Gabbard. The least we can do is to continue i. Our full support of her brave actions.
Disband the See eye aye
No one is looking into the C IA they seem to be untouchable so far….even under this Administration. WHY? They also have tentacles into the F …B I
I am praying for Tulsi! 1 Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of buckler and shield And rise up for my help.
3 Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, With the angel of the LORD driving them on. (Psalms 35:1-5, NASB)
Maybe Ratcliffe can be given a “ raise “ to a different position and a replacement cut of Tulsi’s clothe inserted for substantive action to ensue…who’s goal is not hamstrung by a
“protect the company ” mindset set Ratcliffe may ( even if of good will) labor under…
Sources and methods? Lol. These are same lying a-holes who said that, and worse, over the Nunes memo. “People will DIE!” They said.
It’s hard being the one competent person in a field of weak, stupid, and feckless posers.
Tulsi has a general behind her. General Flynn has been very vocal!
Sorry my friend, I’m not a fan anymore. Too many instances of exploration in the land of looney for me. No disrespect intended my my humble opinion.
they dont want to show sources, since it will lead back to themselves, nor methods for more institutional incest.
She’s NOT alone if she has you in her corner Sundance!
She has us in her corner!
Excellent comment
I hope and pray that Tulsi Gabbard has men surrounding her who are the best at their jobs of protecting her. Chucky told Trump that the intelligence group can get you 7 different ways, my concern is the 8th way.
IMO, Tulsi is presidential material. Buzz off Hildawg because you will never be the first female president.
There is not another female in the administration worth backing other than Tulsi. JMHO.
The irony of Tulsi being a former Democrat, just like Trump and Reagan had been, is just awesome!
Onward! Break some glass! Kick the butts of those who deserve it.
Aloha Tulsi , God Bless You and be with you. “ Go For Broke “ we need to get some Hawaiian 🌺 and Samoan brothers for your protection. I’m hoping they have extra body guards for. Take care. 🙏🙏🤙🤙
Move every CIA a$$whole from DC to an african station for 3 months. Temp relocation, or fire them for leaking. Tell Ratcliffeto get moving . Cut lose everything and the ask that licenses of TV station getting free airwaves be charged. Also if any of these reporters are in house, throw them out. JUST fisa everyone as threat to national security . Lock the doors, post MPs and bring doge cleanup squads in. Enough is enough.
It’s amazing how the DOJ has a blank checkbook who can shell out billions at will.
Sources and Methods = people and lies who create fake BS while destroying this country.
Most importantly, these documents are direct evidence of a seditious crime – documented by the perpetrators themselves. People who believed that no one would ever see their detailed confession, but who were obsessed with writing it anyway.
“Sources and methods” fall on deaf ears. No personal names were revealed. But the crime was.
If people in high-enough places can do anything they want with impunity, then we do not have a Republic. For the hundreds of millions of citizens who comprise that Republic, this is what it comes down to.
There is no “secret bit of tradecraft” here. Only criminals hoist on their own petard.
Tulsi did say that since the release of the latest documents whistleblowers have been coming out of the woodwork. All it took was a person who was willing to listen and follow up on leads. Someone that is willing to put right the wrongdoing.
Do NOT forget. Tulsi Gabbard is essentially all alone on this mission of sunlight. Tulsi’s isolation is the one issue people do not quite seem to understand. Pam Bondi (AG) isn’t with her. Director Kash Patel (FBI) and Director John Ratcliffe (CIA) are not with her. Susie Wiles (CoS) is not with her. In all of these efforts DNI Tulsi Gabbard is all alone. – Sundance
But Tulsi has President Trump with her and that’s the only one that counts!!! JMO
The more we learn the more we should realize how little we know.
Tulsi is truly the hero of this Administration, to me at least.
I remember our discussing the prospective nominations right here on CTH. Starting with Sundances’ CTH nominations and the surprise and eye-brow raising reactions to some of them. I could be wrong but I don’t think Tulsi was on his short list and we were all “amazed” at the choice. I agree with you that she has turned out to be a hero of the Adminstration but would offer that there have turned out to be more hero’s.
Who predicted what we are seeing from Marco? Bessent? Zeldin? Vought (although he was expected to get his position), Lutnick, RFK Jr, Noem…… I could keep going but the point I fully agree with is that Tulsi is a hero among hero’s.
Who would have thought those folks that we sometimes poopooed or questioned would have turned out to be so good.
Just reviewing the names to support this post made me smile. Truly, the adults have taken charge again.
Let me see if I got this straight. The Washington Post reports how the Intelligence Community is upset about DNI Tulsi Gabbard compromising their ‘sources and methods’.
The IC’s sources were Christopher Steele, who hadn’t been to Russia in decades and was hired by Fusion GPS which was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to produce dirt on Trump. Steele’s primary sub-source (PSS) was Danchenko, an alcoholic Russian national and convicted criminal whom former FBI Director Mueller investigated for being a Russian spy and was determined to be “a threat to national security.” Danchenko’s former professor and cohort at the Brookings Institute was Fiona Hill, a George Soros operative. She was a deep state mole in Trump’s White House and one of Rep. Schiff’s star witnesses in his unconstitutional impeachment of President Trump. One of Danchenko’s “sources,” was Charles Dolan, Jr., who had long-time connections to the Clintons and the Democrat Party, and was feeding lies to Danchenko. Imagine that.
The IC’s methods were to cheat, lie, steal, obstruct justice, ignore the US Constitution, and act like gangsters. FBI’s McCabe vowed: “First we f*ck Flynn, then we f*ck Trump.” Former assistant director of the FBI James Kallstrom said there’s a fifth column conspiracy cabal in the bureau determined to destroy President Donald Trump — and may have committed serious felonies in doing so. Apparently the IC was not concerned about their methods violating 18 U.S.C. § 242 Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law, 18 U.S.C. § 241 Conspiracy against rights, 18 U.S.C. § 372 Conspiracy to impede or injure officer, 18 U.S.C. § 2383 Rebellion or insurrection, 18 U.S.C. § 2384 Seditious Conspiracy, et al.
The real scandal behind Russiagate was not Trump’s alleged misdeeds or those of Russia, but the criminal conspiracy by Obama and his administration to sabotage the 2016 election and subsequently to overthrow the Trump presidency and the democratic will of the American people. Tulsi Gabbard has said that this amounts to “treason,” and she has called for the prosecution of Obama and other former senior aides.
Yeah, I could see why the IC is pissed off that Tulsi Gabbard has exposed the sources and methods of their illegal coup to remove the President.
Just hope she has good private security
The “system” has no interest in having light shed on it. (Yep, that statement is undeniable, but it still needs to be said and said often, IMO.)
Tulsi’s actions might (will) expose stuff they don’t want exposed.
She better hurry. If Sen. Tom Cotton and his cronies have their way, it’s all over. I wish Sundance could brief the President on all of this.
My personal feeling about the Cotton move is that it will be embodied in a bill of some kind. Thus it is subject to the machinations of getting it through the house and senate. And then PDJT can veto it. So I tend to discount what Cotton may do at this point.
Powerfully Good Purposes.
That right there is exactly why the IC is apoplectic.
The IC is used to having their way, and not having to answer to anyone for their treasonous conduct.
Your “sources and methods” perpetuated against innocent Americans for political purposes is criminal conduct and smacks of treason.
May God’s angels form a wall of protection around Ms. Gabbard and her loved ones.
The truth has no agenda.
Continued 🙏🏻 for Tulsi Gabbard, that she will be protected from the surrounding forces of evil and guided by God’s good judgment.
I will strongly suggest that it is exactly those “sources and methods”, in this particular case, that should be targeted for exposure and elimination ASAP.
Tulsi as The DNI can declassify anything and she doesn’t have to ask permission of any of the criminals in any agency.
All it takes is someone who loves their country and believes that the citizens run the government, not the government running the citizens
She is a warrior. It is in her nature to lead and she does so without looking over her shoulder to see who will follow. That said, may God protect her and guide her in her mission.
JMO.
“Insiders within the Intelligence Community (IC), and specifically ongoing operators within the CIA, are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.”
Just curious.
Is the story “the targeting” ………… or ………..the fact that thousands of biden carryover, weaponizing, treasonous thugs are still in the IC (DOJ /FBI/CIA, etc.) after 200+ days of President Trump’s administration?
Key questions unanswered:
Why are they still there?
Who, in the administration, is protecting them from being fired for cause?
Does President Trump know that they are being protected?
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Come on Secretariat, just don’t let your jocky fall off!
💯
She may be alone in DC but many people are with her. People in the administration should step up as well.
Obviously you take past examples of muh “methods and sources” and reveal what a crock of s*** they were.
Since when was Tulsi not fully behind the bombing of Iran? Msm pretended that, but she very clearly explained her testimony that while Iran was not actually constructing a nuclear weapon, their enrichment served no peaceful purpose. She was in the situation room during the raid. The President stated that there was no division in the cabinet. Cleaning out the FBI and CIA is a complicated mess. It isn’t like cleaning up after a flood or fire when everything gets hauled away. It’s more like reorganizing after decades of hoarding.
I’m watching for the statements after the Alaska summit. Will Putin and or Trump excoriate the CIA for overthrowing the government of Ukraine in 2014?
Trump has a lot of balls in the air, not the least of which is the coming midterms. Then there is finishing off the dnc, Marxism and globalism in the US and Europe, immigration and crime, the economy, wars and rumors of wars, main stream media, etc.
Trump’s vision for unifying is to bring across the board success. Part of that is the failure of what doesn’t work to be replaced by what does. The CIA is out of its element when the battle is economic instead of militarily. That is how they will be marginalized and ultimately defeated.
The IC “source and methods” seem to be the same as the MSM: make it up, lie to cover it up, obfuscate, attack anyone who calls you out on it.
May their kind be destroyed never to rise again.
