Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard responds to the letter from Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Vice-Chairman Mark Warner.
[Warner’s original letter here]
Director Gabbard: “Contrary to the blatantly false and slanderous accusations being made against me by Members of Congress and their friends in the propaganda media, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has and will continue to take action under my statutory authorities to secure our nation and ensure the integrity of our elections. My response to Congress:”
[SOURCE]
Within the letter DNI Gabbard notes, President Trump “specifically directed” her to be present for the execution of a search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia last week as part of the probe. Director Gabbard announced in April 2025 that ODNI was investigating electronic voting systems in order to protect election integrity.
“As I publicly stated on 10 April 2025, there is information and intelligence reporting suggesting that electronic voting systems being used in the United States have long been vulnerable to exploitation that could result in enabling determined actors to manipulate the results of the votes being cast with the intent of changing the outcome of an election,” she writes. “ODNI and the IC continue to collect and assess all available intelligence concerning this threat to ensure the security and integrity of our elections,” she said.
Director Gabbard explained that the process of assessing the intelligence “ensures that the IC’s finished intelligence products are objective, independent of political considerations, and based on all available sources.” … “I will share our intelligence assessments with Congress once they are complete,” she said.
Mark Warner is another useful idiot in the Democrat Senate. He is the richest Dem Senator; the 3rd wealthiest member in the entire Congress. This guy graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor in 1980 and coached the law school’s first intramural women’s basketball team. BUT, he opposes federal efforts to ban transgender women from participating in female sports. Figure that one out!
He is all in for abortion and same sex marriage –
He has been a politician for 40 years –
He never practiced one day of law in his life.
Net worth apparently $ 205 mil, give or take.
This has got to end. These scumbags get elected, some falsely, then enrich themselves to unbelievable amounts. We the people should have ended the Pelosi practice, while she was still young. Money buys advertising for elections, it’s a small investment, with a monster return. It makes me sick!
Warner was wealthy before he go into politics. His venture capital firm was an early investor in Nextel and other telecommunication outfits.
Warner was a congressional staffer who helped write the 1996 telecommunications act.He then used his inside knowledge of loopholes in the act to start telecommunications companies,which he sold in rapid succession at the expense of the employees.That’s how he got rich.He’s never won an election without mysterious ‘midnight’ votes withheld by northern Virginia precincts until they know how many he needs to win.
That’s probably only the known amount that he has. Would be interesting if Tulsi did a treasury request to check all offshore hidden retirement accounts of his. Who knows how many foreign made deposits have been slipped into them? One of the slimiest Bastards in DC.
I thought he got rich with some software business. He is a lowlife POS and has always been.
Pretty sad that the old goat who has been around for 40 years, with a law degree no less, still has to be re-educated as to the responsibility of the Executive Office personnel, by a one year DNI (doing a fantastic job) as to the process being executed. Time for this old goat to be put to pasture with his ill-gotten gains.
If we patriotic Virginians had the numbers, he would never have been elected as Guvnah or Senator. Same with his sidekick Little Timmy Kaine. Unfortunately, Northern Virginia, other blue-owned counties, and our major cities plus college and university bastions mean we are effectively unrepresented. Most, if not all, of our House of Reps Repub-types are squishes. Go along to get along and send out meaningless surveys to their constituents-in-name-only.
So. . . the old goat ain’t gonna get put out to pasture.
Mark Warner is not an idiot. He is one of the masterminds of the Democrat party nefarious machinations and dirty tricks.
Agreed, and that makes him dangerous.
He is a friggin POS
He might not be an idiot, but he is short-sighted. We are on this earthly planet for such a short time, and then we will have to stand before that eternal judge, and He will have his book of remembrance on Mark Warner in front of Him. I can hear Him saying now, “O Mark, what have your done to the American people? You need to get on over here to the left, boy. And be quiet.”
Just sayin’ It’s a scene that will play out for us all!
Idiot or brilliant criminal, Warner is still an untrustworthy scumbag IMHO.
I’d much sooner trust the men who work on our town’s local trash & recycling pickup crew.
Maybe he never passed the bar.
Being machines were hacked by overseas players why wouldn’t the DNI be there?
Trump brought Maduro in alive for a reason.
The Machines were not hacked. The machines were reprogrammed under the instruction of Democrat/Communist operatives with the help of Democrat and Republican officials. The foreigners and machines are cover for the Democrat/Communists. The machines do it just like the GUNS do it.
Which is why the FBI under a very watchful eye is involved. Enemies domestic is their part. Maduro, if he actually knows anything valuable, has a value of the election thieves not knowing what he might know or say.
And the voter roles are the bullets.
This is almost certainly the case, but professional penetration testers and ethical computer hackers have demonstrated in the past, that these machines are trivial to hack into and (for someone who knows what they are doing) it can be accomplished in a matter of three to five minutes. The security on these machines is abysmal. The same goes for the counting machines to which the individual voting machines report their data.
And the machines are made that way (built in vulnerabilities) on purpose for plausible deniability. That way if/when the organized and planned vote tampering is discovered, then they can blame it on “hackers” (probably Russians and/or chicoms depending on the go to boogieman of the current narrative), not the deepstate, dems, GOP establishment (GOPe), commies, and globalists who actually did it.
It’s even easier to hack the Dominion machines when you post the passwords to the operating system online like Colorado.
Oh, Terry. Such a cynic! And right on target!!
He knows why she’s there, but wants to know exactly what she knows, to figure out how to run interference against her. He & the other uniparty rinos are panicked.
Tulsi, is a very courageous, no nonsense woman who has defeated bigger scoundrel that Warner and the do-nothing Republicans.
Or maybe he’s like our boy Lindsay. He never passed “a” bar! And shows up drunk on Jesse Watters show!
he’s stinking up our world and can’t die soon enough.
Hear, Hear!!
I know CTH regulars know this but, Congress works like this:
Seldom, very Seldom do Bills get written by CongressCritters, Bills are written by K Street lobbyist.
Lobbyist line up bought n paid for CongressCritters to sponsor Bill.
Experienced CongressCritters know what Bills will pass and what company/industry it will help prosper.
CongressCritters buy stock in company/industry.
It’s all legal for CongressCritters, but would be insider trading violations for you and I.
Also when CongressCritters declare to Congress their net worth, that declaration is made on their “realized” net worth, CongressCritters “unrealized” net worth does not need to be reported.
It’s all in the details people.
That is why Nancy did ‘t know what was in Obamacare bill until they passed it. This is not a country. It is a shopping mall and we aren’t allowed in. Even President Trump is just looking through the doors.!
With us as willing participants.
You are correct.
It’s all about: Money and Power and Power and Money.
And money and money and power and power!!
The “devil” is always in the details.
Weasel Warren …Once a weasel always a weasel.
Hey! No reason to insult weasels by associating Warren with them!
he’s nothing more than a floating raft of whale spooge
Warner is a corrupt POS !!!!
No, he is a full on member of the Derp State.
Warner’s money comes from Time-Warner Cable. They have an effective monopoly on internet services in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina through COX Communications.
How did he get so wealthy?!
I’d be willing to bet it was just good luck!!
FILTHY LIBERALS
Would George Washington shoot MW with a Musket if he was alive? MW is clearly a Domestic Enemy of the United States.
I think he might have Tarred and Feathered him. We can dream.
Maybe he would Bayonet him. Put some holes in his body to match his disgusting face.
Evil needs to be exterminated from this Hemisphere.
God Damn the FILTHY LIBERALS
Imo Warner is complicit or an accomplice in the voting fraud, and not just a useful idiot.
I disagree……Warner is NOT a useful idiot. He is actually quite smart and extremely dangerous to our Republic. He is one of the masterminds in ensuring what WAS KNOWN in 2016 by the Senate Intel Committee, specifically the leadership, and was fabricated by the Obama regime and the coup, stayed buried and covered up through precise moves that enabled the coup to continue to the present day. Burr and Warner assessed knowingly that it was false…that Russia colluded with Trump to steal the 2016 election. They knew…as did Ohama and the coup perpetrators that the Steele dossier was a lie and that there was NO credible information that Trump colluded with Russia.
Useful idiots are used by others to do dirty work…..Warner and Burr colluded on their own to back and push the Russia narrative against Trump….a decision they and specifically Warner made himself….even if he was pushed be CIA and other operatives to do so…..point is he and Burr both knew the Truth….but backed and pushed the lie. And it has been covered up and buried till now….and so they squeel like pigs….because the kettle is getting hot!
They made a mistake…….they confirmed Gabbard! Who is now exposing piece by piece what occurred all the way back to then……and it ties and connects to now! Warner sees and knows that! And the fact that Tulsi was in Fulton County has made the hair on the back of their(Warner and others) necks stand up and has alarmed them.
We are talking of TREASON here…..from 2016 to the present day……many of our so called leaders are exactly that….and as the heat gets turned up…..you can hear and see them wail!
It’s coming….and nothing can stop it!
This will not end up with an infiltrated judicial system that can not be trusted to bring forth accountability. This will go to the Military as I have been saying for years……..it’s TREASON……..this goes to the Military.
There’s much more to come…….
Nothing can stop what is coming.
“And The Best Is Yet To Come!”
I agree.
while the useful idiots, tend to be…idiots, the leadership are anything but stupid. Evil, yes. Stupid, no. If we proceed believing our adversaries to be dumb, we do so at our own peril. (We are better served by believing them to be smart, but being proven wrong; than to believe they are stupid, and being proven wrong.)
Writing my Senators and Rep to strongly oppose little Markie. The DS is terrified of the excellent work that Dirrctir Gabbard is doing!!!
Tulsi as HAL? Seems like an odd choice. And HAL gets defeated.
HAL is SSIC and the House equivalent that opposes Tulsi.
In the remake HAL 2 is on the MAGA side.
A few days ago, some Treehouse commentors were here trying to sow seeds of doubt around Tulsi Gabbard. Those commenters are missing from this thread so far.
Can they admit she’s doing a good job, or do they just want to cause trouble?
Have to admit, whenever I see a picture of Director Gabbard or read about her work, I think of Wonder Woman.
The real thing! Love it.
You can see that DNI position is aging her, prob more quickly than being POTUS.
She dodges many slings n arrows
Gabbard should have been PDJT’s VP in 2020
No to her being VP. She never would have had the opportunity to do what she’s doing had she been VP.
Director of ODNI, as Sundance has pointed out previously, has always had the tools to do what Director Gabbard is doing but the great news is she’s now on the side of true justice aka MAGA with oversight over ALL the intel agencies.
Her letter brilliantly tells Warner to piss off without actually saying the words.
Maybe Warner, the seditionist butthurt one, should brush up on the law of the land, prick!
From one old dog to another, old dogs think alike sometimes!!! Yes Sir!
yup.
I can see it. Glad she’s on our side.
I did not like her because I thought she overstepped her bounds with the Assad thing and her extremely close relationship with Tucker. It was unseemly. Then the apologizing for the nuclear bombing g of Japan was just over the top for me. I am of the generation that still hates Germans and Japanese because of WWII. I, nor any of my family, have owned Japanese-made cars or German-made cars because of it. Some things are personal. But I will be dead soon and we will do it all over again.
~~My parents held on to their rage after the war, too.~~
I agree with your reservations about Tulsi. I’d add Bernie Sanders cheerleader to the list. You don’t grow up and flip your politics THAT much in SO little time.
She’s doing well in her role now, and that’s great.
But no way would I support her in a race for the White House.
I think she’s great, Blondi could get a few pointers from her
DNI Gabbard has integrity and wisdom. Blondie has neither, rendering her incapable of learning any pointers.
I guess I’m surprised that the dirty thieves would stake such an obvious position against their dirty deeds being revealed.
It it were me I’d figure the jig is up, crimes are going to be exposed and try to come up with a way to CMA. Why is he painting a target on himself – does he have that much hubris?
Maybe more panic than hubris, he has a lot to lose.
I struggle with this myself. I’d love to know what they know for a day so I could explain why they simply don’t care that we see how corrupt they are. They used to hide it a little. Now they rub our noses in it.
Dems have the MSM to muddy the truth
Well, consider just how many of the prolies actually pay attention to the spooge that is emitted from the collective orifices of the establishment megaphonys. I’ll wager that its quite limited..
Tulsi Gabbard just rubbed his nose, his cerebellum and his liver in it. She set him him on his slippery heels— that low down crook! Don’t mess with Tulsi!!
this is what they know:
1. MAGA is generally peaceful and wont do him in like they did to kirk.
2. the system is rigged and they are protected from justice by judges.
I had a teacher once a long time ago who kept saying, “If you’re gonna dance, you gotta pay the fiddler.” That’s one of those eternal verities. Maybe Mr. Warner needs to be advised. Or maybe his greed has blinded him.
Me thinks he’s outta strings.
hubris? – but maybe he did some research to find out when the last DC “person” went to prison.
There haven’t been consequences to this obviously illegal activity for many years. They have nothing to fear.
The Senate is a bubble made of egos. When was the last time any one of them was taken down with a lengthy prison sentence? That’s why.
Because over half the people are their supporters, especially young people.
This nation will not survive them as they age and take over. The US will be a very different place in 50 years.
If our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ hasn’t come back by then…
Probably has mucho hubris!
The President is the third branch of government. Everyone who works in the Executive Branch works for and reports to the President, who can direct them as he pleases. None of them are independent, and none of them are answerable to Congress, despite what some representatives or senators like to tell themselves. Oh, Congress can subpoena them and make them testify, and they can’t lie under oath. But Congress can’t direct them in the performance of their duties since they answer only to the President. Senator, see that sand? Go pound it.
I disagree on one point, Trapper. They can lie under oath. And they will and there will be nothing done about it. I believe that!
Do tell, Warner, why are you so scared?
Mark Warner’s schtick is getting old.
I love the work Tulsi is doing for our nation! Kudos to her!!!!
Me too! God bless Tulsi Gabbard 🙏
Except for Pam Bimbo Bondi, I am so incredibly impressed with Trump’s cabinet and administration, especially Bessent, Rubio, and Gabbard
Hear, hear! Why and how is President Trump so blind to her ineptitude? She is a joke…a really bad one!
Susie Q enters .. oops! I mean seizes, the chat..
if I could…..I’d send you some bacon for that comment
“Section 501 (a)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947 does not require that the President obtain approval from congressional intelligence committees before initiating significant intelligence activities”. Looks like you will have to wait for the conclusion of this on going investigation, Mark. Don’t bother me I’m busy. *mic drop* A diplomatic, social finger reply. Well done, Tulsi.
Payback is hell isn’t it, Mr. Mark “Seditionist” Warner?
Warnher has got to find some way of getting at PDJT.
Notwithstanding the excellent few I have argued for years that no “lawyer” should be allowed to sit in the so called ‘peoples house’, nor be a judge!
Warner knew that.
Why send a letter?
Stirring the pot to assist cover-up?
I love the photo, Tulsi (Dave) vs HAL 9000 is perfectly appropriate with the onset of AI in everything in our world.
Warner has always been a mealy mouthed politician since his creation as a dedicated swamp rat whose elixir is power, he has money. His involvement in the last ten years to usurp the will of the American people, partnering with foreign powers, is treason.
This is why DNI Gabbard is there per President Trump and Warner knows this.
Right on Director Gabbard.
Ms. Gabbard, responded cool and collectively to the ‘hit piece’ letter that was sent to her by Senator Warner. It took her four days to craft a response that should lay to rest the concerns of Warner and Himes that she was exceeding her authority by witnessing the execution of the warrant on Fulton County.
Needed Mickey Mouse at the end of this article.
The propaganda has succeeded. I literally hate the Democrats.
Where were these “select committee “ clowns when the President was being falsely investigated as a Russian agent and practically the entire Republican apparatus was being spied on? Idiots of no value to anything good.
Tulsi! FLOOR IT!!!!
She’s already put the pedal to the metal AND in a very professional way I might add. Well done, Ms. Gabbard!
Tulsi Gabbard is a fierce woman. And brilliant to boot.
She publicly told Warner and his enabling co-conspirators to go screw themselves in the politest way possible, and she did it without divulging anything useful to their corrupt cause.
DNI Gabbard is the quintessential American Patriot. May God continue to bless and protect her.
How hung over is Warner this morning after receiving TG’s reply to his and Himes’ pathetic letter?
This is a great start to my morning.
Reading about Tulsi kicking Warner in his empty (no balls) sack gives me the grins.
I love Tulsi!!
I do so hope Warner gets what is coming to him.
Death by hanging? Or lead from a firing squad? Perhaps both at the same time. Wouldn’t that set a much needed precedent for the communist bastards?
The President asked her to be there. Doesn’t he trust the honorable noble men and women of the FBI and the DOJ to do their jobs? Gee, I wonder why not.
Now Ratcliff needs to get control of his area ASAP. This whistleblower crap against Tulsi is on him.
LOL; not that these bast*rds won’t seek a way (insurrection anyone?); but it was funny listening to the ruler smacking Warner’s old butt. The schooler gets his Harvard a*s schooled by a Hawaiian woman no less. Now go to the blackboard and write “I am a thief” one hundred times.
… “I’m a $edicious THIEF” one billion times. fify
If we are serious about exposing the Deep State, why not start with the use of the NSA Database back in early 2016? It has been speculated that the Obama gang was using the surveillance tools to spy on possible political opponents back in this time frame or earlier. I would speculate that the day Donald Trump came down the golden escalator, his name was spied on the same day. All of America, even the Dems, would think that spying on Americans was a criminal idea. And no, you can’t justify it by saying “well, we needed to check out our political rivals (all of them) to make sure they weren’t commies.”
Downloading and exporting for after office and outside office use.
It never is understood. Exportedddddd
Marky seem a little nervous….
Marky is in on the scam……
Marky is pissed because he can’t stop what’s coming…..
Marky will have a spot on the gallows with the other vote thieves…..
Marky should resign……
NO MERCY!
BAM!!!
stellar
101 reasons why a giant solar flare that blacks out the planet for oh, a year or so, would be a good start
When will the so called “Democratic Party” be charged as an International Terrorist Organization?
and the CeeEyeAy
What links to the Communist Internationale America do the Bush family have and their drive for One World Government?
Strengthen Tulsi with prayers.
What Is ‘Crowds on Demand’? US Firm That Pays People to Attend Protests – And How You Can Apply

Have you thought about reaching out to Tulsi for an hour or 2 sit down as you have much to say on this same topic which she might find helpful……..
I hope TG shows how insecure and corrupt the CISA & DARPA departments of our USG actually are.
Casually left out of the below publication was ‘Election Integrity’.
The below was published 13-months ago, prior to PDJT’s second (non-consecutive) term.
You should read between the lines. DARPA intends to know and control the backbone of all mission-critical systems. This way, they can turn them on or off at their will.
CISA is the public propaganda face of DARPA.
Since election integrity is not listed, it means they already control it.
Here is a quote from the publication:
“”Jan 16, 2025
WASHINGTON – Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), and the National Security Agency (NSA), published Closing the Software Understanding Gap that calls for decisive and coordinated action by the U.S. government to obtain a deep, scalable understanding of software-controlled systems. Specifically, the report calls for software-controlled systems that can be assessed to verify functionality, safety, and security across all conditions, which is currently not available.
Mission owners and operators lack adequate capabilities for software understanding because technology manufacturers build software that greatly outstrips the ability to understand it. The inadequate understanding leads to exploited software vulnerabilities because technology manufacturers create software that is not secure by design.
“Recent discoveries of adversarial state-sponsored activity in US critical infrastructure – primarily in Communications, Energy, Transportation Systems, and Water and Wastewater Systems – pose imminent threats to US national security. The software understanding gap exacerbates the risk to this threat activity,” said CISA Technical Director Chris Butera. “Mission owners and operators have an enormous and accelerating dependence on the software underwriting U.S. critical infrastructure. With our partners, we urge the USG to close this gap before other nations and urge software manufactures to align to Secure by Design principles.””
Okay, exactly what is this..
“and urge software manufactures to align to Secure by Design principles.”
https://www.darpa.mil/news/2025/closing-software-understanding-gap
I think that Darpa should be renamed as ‘CARPA’ e.i. Crappy Advanced Research Projected vomit Agency. Sorry for the fish metaphors .. but, as we all know, the Pisces rot from the heads on down, no?
Read between the lines as she wrote, “For a brief period of time, I accompanied FBI Deputy Directory Bailey and Atlanta Acting Special Agent in Charge Pete Ellis in observing FBI Personnel executing that search warrant”
Seems they (Trump and Gabbard) don’t trust people in the FBI to do their jobs correctly and/or were setting up a trap to see which agent tried to cover something up. Remember the FBI office for Nassar? Yeah, would you trust the FBI office in Atlanta either?
Honorable and the name of a member of congress should not be in the same sentence.
We need to start listening to Jay Valentine, and people with his knowledge. From illegal aliens to NGOs to bad and improper addresses on voter rolls (which would automatically disqualify that ballot) to all the money being passed around by the fraud going on in budgets passed by Congress, it seems like an impossibility for anything good to happen unless Republicans “gird up their loins, fresh courage take”, and begin to understand that we are children of God and do not have to be so willing to let things go on. What’s the old saying, “Off your butt, onto your feet, out of the shade, and into the heat.”
He’s got a new video out from a little while ago.
Not lookin as frothing-at-the-mouth as his original rant.
Yo, Mark.
Go ahead and have your lawyer call Miss Tulsi’s office so’s you can make a deal.
Do it before it’s too late.

Warner calls Gabbard to testify over GA election raid, Trump FBI call
Above link to Breaking News on CNBC.com
The hit on TG continues with rehashed stale news and a dash of new “news” from the drunkard Warner. What the idiots at CNBC gloss over is that Warner is the Vice-Chairman, basically second fiddle to Tom Cotton. I’ve not seen Tom Cotton or other SSCI republicans come out in support of Warner…yet.
Cotton. Oh … another poisonous snake.
We all know our elections are compromised (rigged), we all know it! And then there is the judiciary that has been hindering every effort to rectify the (we all know it) aspects that our elections are rigged. So to fix our elections, we have to fix the judiciary also. Every step of the way judges have hindered Make America Great Again.
Elected vs Appointed Judges, some great information is found here: Elected vs. Appointed Judges – Center for Effective Government
Something to think about.
With a nod to the westerns of old.
Mark Warner is so low he can walk under a snake’s belly with his hat on.
Tulsi Gabbard should just tell warner and hines to go f*ck themselves. They are cancers on the human race. They are lackwitted politicians who are lower than whale sh*t. They are the real facists who follow in geobbles footsteps. They are what dogs leave in the grass after they eat.
She will be POTUS
DNI Gabbard has the legal support she needs as can be readily seen in the references in her letter. On deck for criminal conduct…..
I think DNI Gabbard is getting somewhere, that’s why the IC and others concerned are in panic, that they’re coming after them. They want to know what Tulsi has been up to, but they can’t figure it out. So they are freaking out.
Can she be promoted to full Col while in this DNI position? Trump should have the pentagon do it if possible. I would do it just to tick off the critics. She deserves it.
I’d love to see the “sternly worded” letter from Tulsi…
BAZINGA!!
Warner is without question one of the Very Worst apparatchiks serving the international crime syndicate which has the West under its thumb.
Looks like Tulsi is over the target, but I’ll only believe so if/when something actually happens to make substantive changes, which thus far has not been forthcoming. My guess is that the best we can hope for is persuasive, irrefutable evidence that 2020 election was compromised by widespread, organized fraud known to some of the leaders in the Democratic Party who have most led the charge to demonize Trump for objecting to what they know was fraud which they helped perpetrate. That would be something.
Then, if good enforceable laws can be put in place to ensure free and fair elections, that would be a long overdue, most welcome step forward, though I doubt this will transpire.
As to punishing the wrong-doers, only small fry who don’t know anything about the higher ups. The real movers and shakers will not be touched because they are protected. And if they remain protected then it is unlikely elections will be allowed to be free and fair.
Either way, this is going to be very interesting.
I love Tulsi!
