Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman, Tom Cotton, outlines via his X account that he has reviewed the intelligence community whistleblower complaint being used in a ridiculous effort to impeach DNI Tulsi Gabbard and finds it “not credible.”
[SOURCE]
The entire construct of this CIA-NIC ‘whistleblower’ operation is transparent. We have outlined the basic parameters of the entire fiasco {GO DEEP}. The intelligence community/Lawfare operation is a replay of the 2019 intelligence community/Lawfare operation used to frame Donald Trump during the 2019 impeachment effort.
Even setting aside the insufferable politics of it all, our national enemies must be laughing at us and how easy it is to identify the background of the super-secret, classified and “highly sensitive” national security information regarding Venezuela that underpins the baseline for the CIA-NIC effort.
If a simple website can put it together, then certainly our enemies know our own intelligence community is leveraging the rules and regulations around CIA assets to frame domestic political lawfare operations.
It is stunningly embarrassing on a national level.
As a result, I have tried to inform SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton via X with the following message:
Dear Senator Tom Cotton, you are Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. You are a member of the Gang of Eight. You have all the clearances.
Please take a few hours and go to the House Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) scif; sit down with the October 2019 deposition from ICIG Michael Atkinson and read it.
Access should not be a problem with HPSCI Chairman, Representative Rick Crawford, also being a fellow Arkansan.
Read how then ICIG Atkinson gained authority to change the CIA whistleblower rules to facilitate the false claim by CIA National Intelligence Council, Russia desk analyst Eric Ciaramella.
Look at how Ciaramella coordinated with then HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff, while former AAG of the NSD, Mary McCord, was working as staff on the background structure of the Trump impeachment operation.
Remind yourself of the context. In 2019, ICIG Atkinson was Mary’s former office counsel in the NSD (2016). They worked together on the Trump surveillance in 2016 (Page FISA) and then again in 2019 on the pathway to create an anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint.
What you will notice from that 2019 deposition is the similarity to the whistleblower complaint pathway and IC operation you just reviewed today.
Ciaramella was one of the key authors of the 2017 ICA from his office desk inside the CIA (per Brennan’s instructions to the NIC). Ciaramella was also the anonymous CIA whistleblower in the Trump impeachment 2019. See the issue?
Then ask yourself, if we the ordinary American people can see this stuff and put it together… then what exactly does that say about the SSCI role in oversight?
Warmest best,
A Frustrated American

¹The Whole Backstory is Here
¹WARNING: The backstory outline reveals highly classified TSCI national security information, derived through research and common sense.
Thank you Sundance! I guess we’re going to find out what kind of Patriot Senator Cotton really is?
Awesome
Only if Cotton is a genuine patriot!
I think you will find Cotton has a little polyester in him.
Cotton is one of my Senators. His cohort Boozman is a RINO.
We’ll see.
IMO … like Crenshaw, a fence rider … watch him closely.
In FL there is a version of Crenshaw goes by Mast.
He is my HOR rep in Fl….
Are you sure that you have used the correct spelling?
What’s that?? HORR?
Mine, too. Ugh, so disappointed over the years.
Yes. He’s my rep. Wussy as they come. Sticks finger in the air to see which way the wind blows. Cant get him to just take a soolid position the question A real weenie.
I guess we’ll soon find out what kind of snake he is: a king .. or a rattler
Imagine how much trouble we could have avoided and the message that could have been sent had Ciaramella and Vindman been stripped of their Office and sent to federal prison after the “impeachment” they orchestrated was laughed out of the Senate?
We know that DNI Gabbard has read the full deposition from ICIG Michael Atkinson and is well aware of the problems within it, but as of now, she has not chosen to declassify it and release it. I have to assume that she has reasons for that and is waiting for the most opportune time…perhaps after a few more high level officials have publicly perjured themselves?
There might be an issue re separation of powers. Tulsi is Administration and the deposition is in Congress
I am not sure – it seems that Sundance has implied that she could release it, under the authority granted to her as the Director over ALL of the Intelligence Agencies, but definitely the members of the Gang of Eight would have the ability to do it. Maybe she is waiting until the pressure builds on them so that they will be forced to do their duty, but, IMHO, they are ALL masters at kicking cans down the road! The fact that we haven’t even had a budget since 2007 SHOULD be a colossal embarrassment for all of them but since they apparently have no shame, it doesn’t seem to bother them at all!
Agree, Im not sure either. Either way, the current House “leadership” should be able to change the classification on it. Whether or not they can or will should be evident before long.
The SOH is untrustworthy…..almost a snake.
IMHO, “snake” doesn’t convey quite the sleaze that actual living & working close to him would convey. SLEAZE FACTOR OFF THE CHART!
The answer to your question depends on who manages his X account. Does Tom Cotton personally manage his X account, or does he have a staffer handle it, as most politicians do? I won’t get my hopes up for a response from Tom Cotton, unless he “understands” who Sundance is.
The most significant paragraph is the last one . . .
“Then ask yourself, if we the ordinary American people can see this stuff and put it together… then what exactly does that say about the SSCI role in oversight? Warmest best, A Frustrated American”
This one? Who here isn’t frustrated with the reach of the deep state and all the billions of dollars of fraud by Somalis and other low lifes!!!??? We’re frustrated because Sundance has shown us so much truth but the Government lies keep coming at an accelerating rate!!! JMO
Cotton is wishy washy. MAGA does not live in his heart.
I noted couple days ago the letter from VA Senator Whiner only had the House person, not Chairman Cotton. I figured that meant Cotton tacitly “approved” after the fact and was letting Senator Whiner hyperventilate on his own
And your tweet/X to Cotton is good, but if he doesn’t go look at the Atkinson deposition he doesn’t know anything about it. Reading it might be a bridge too far for Cotton.
Reading may be a bridge too far for RINO Cotton.
Point probably is to worry those that already know, that its going to look bad for them if this comes out later, especially after notified.
Cotton knows. Every paid for congressmen knows
Just those on the CC list will prompt action. Unlikely a truth bomb like this one won’t make some pretty big waves. Watch how that worm Warner squirms and you’ll have an idea how big of waves this truth bomb is making
excellent. thank you.
CC: Heh heh.
I swear Warner was so distracted during the Senate Finance Committee meeting this morning he spent his time trying to remember what it was he wanted to ask Treas. Sec’y Scott Bessent. His brain is just a bit preoccupied.
Thank you! I hope Senator Cotton follows through with this. Good that Tulsi Gabbard was cc too. Imagining Warner’s reaction is fun too.
Don’t be fooled, Tom Cotton is not out friend by any stretch of the word….remember controlled opposition…we get a tiny bit of , ” Hell Yeah ” but we never get to sing the whole song…
I’ll go a step further and assume that Cotton is every bit as likely to be raping, torturing, murdering, marinating, grilling, and eating children as the rest of them.
“What a sick horrible thing to say….. I don’t even want to imagine that that might possibly be true”……said every Normie GOP voter.
Warner? OMGLOL!!!
Do any of the president’s children have his ear? Might be worth also getting this to them in case Cotton ignores it.
We have to hope Cotton absorbs this information 🙂
Good one Wordman!!!
Do you have a Standup job, WORDMAN? The ‘lines’ keep coming. Thanks.
I used to write lines in Comic Sans…
But my wife said I wasn’t that type 🙂
Stop picking on Cotton. He will not Cotton to criticism.
Give it to Eric. I suspect that Don Jr. isn’t the one to handle sensitive matters.
😆 “Warmest Best”
Honestly I hope that Sen Cotton follows your trail. We shall see.
Sundance, you have the courage of a lion. Thank you for your love of country and willingness to go out on a limb for it and for us all. I continue to pray for your safety and wellbeing.
Sundance would make a okay dokey fireman.. flushing out water hydrants… hope cotton can swim…
My thoughts exactly!
Hey, SD, for those of us without X accounts, maybe post some replies you may get from others reading that tweet/X.
Since my son exclusively uses X to send me posts I yielded and created a simple account. I really enjoy following Sundance on all his replies to foolish posters as well as his re-posts of others great content. So to get more of Sundance i recommended following him on there as well as here.
My kids (among others) tried that with fakebook.
I haven’t yielded yet because it’s important for them to learn that they’ve met an unmovable objet… 😆
this should give you the replies:

20 minutes apart contrbutions to parse the ether; pretty cool. Thanks to you & RF Burns.
Here you go, a link showing the replies to Sundance’s X post to Senator Cotton.
https://xcancel.com/TheLastRefuge2/status/2019450092487602294#m
Thank you, it’s comforting to see all that support from another site.
Thanks for the access to the replies!! The Norm Eisen video is, in my opinion, revealing. He says that the idiot Hunter working on Burisma’s board is common among those in positions of power for their family. No, it’s bullshit! An idiot is put on a board of a company for illegal reasons. The idiot offers NO value to Burisma without the conspiracy behind his placement on Burisma’s board. Eisen is a co-conspirator at the very least. Actually, the idiot takes value away from the company because that position isn’t filled with someone who has the lifetime of work in that market, who brings experience to navigate the unforeseen variables that Burisma will face daily, who has the brilliance to understand very large data sets or whatever an accomplished executive’s earned value is from? The idiot on the board of Burisma is an admission of illegality.
Investors file lawsuits when companies do these things because they are protecting their investment. I’m not aware of any lawsuits against Burisma for diminishing its value by putting the idiot on its board? I’m not sure it’s a publicly traded company nor do I care? Publicly traded or not, idiots that bring a negative value are not put on boards of companies for legitimate reasons.
I have no doubt that this condition of the IC being adversarial to the President has prevented a solution to the Ukraine conflict. Putin may trust Trump’ s envoys but cannot be confident that the sinister Intel apparatus won’t overthrow him eventually. Foreign nations fear this cabal and realize it usually prevails over national interests. They have to keep their powder dry for the possibility this entity will seize power.
If anyone deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom, it is you, Sundance. The congressional one isn’t worth a plugged nickel. Cotton has been put on notice. The road to Damascus experience, Tom, what will you choose?
Concerning waste, fraud, and abuse… when do we see rescission bills for the $220 Billion DOGE-identified waste?
Pass the SAVE Act first?
If the Save Act is passed Republicans won’t be able to let the Democrats take over Congress in 9 months!
Off topic…
You absolutely rock!! Praying he reads and absorbs it.
This is wonderful. I think we need a political hall of fame for American Patriots such as yourself. Perhaps our dear President Trump can build one.
Tom Cotton’s up for re-election, so he might pretend to care, at least for a little while. With him and Rick Crawford, representation in Arkansas is pathetic.
French Hill surprises me too. He was a typically conservative rich cat and real estate investor back in the day.
The same Arkansans who elected Sarah Huckabee Sanders Governor elected weasels Cotton and Crawford?
That’s hard to fathom.
Let’s assume Cotton sees the Xpost, And, goes and finds/reads the deposition.
What do you expect to see following it ?
What do you Hope to see ?
Conspiracy dots connected
Excellent post to Cotton, Wolverine Sundance! Let us hope he reads it and does go read that deposition!
And lets hope the enemy reads it and starts making proactive mistakes
I’m so impressed with your efforts. Want to strongly verify your saying if we can see it clearly why can’t they. Tired, so tired of their useless facade and obstructing. We see it, do something about it. We continue to run out of time to fix this country and restore it’s greatness. Come on congress, start acting like we won the election, we did. Start acting like the people actually matter for once. Thanks Sundance
I think we know why they don’t see it. The silo is their own construct. Reality doesn’t matter to SSCI one little bit.
“…like people actually matter…”
Now there is an original thought. I wonder why now one has ever tried that before…it could work better than what they have been doing.
(Flwolverine, I am not mocking you; I am mocking the 535 temple monkies who pretend to represent us as they become millionaires!)
Appreciate that Hoghead. I’m good.
Hoghead–That’s MULTI-millionaires! SPIT!!!
Problem is they think the wrong people matter, like Chyna, for example.
God Bless you, Sundance.
I have little confidence in Cotton but letting him know WE KNOW may nudge him to the desired path.
Exposure is a mighty weapon.
You informed him and more of the public.
Thank you.
‘Our own intelligence community is leveraging the rules and regulations around CIA assets to frame domestic political lawfare operations’
Cotton – It’s the fabric of their lies!
September 12 2008
Spy Agencies Turn to Newspapers, NPR, and Wikipedia for Information
The intelligence community is learning to value “open-source” information
FTA –
The officer calls it “the seduction of the ‘top-secret’ stamp.”
Yet it’s a practice that might be changing. The use of nonclassified information, whether news accounts or other publicly retrievable information, is gaining credibility within the intelligence community. And officials say there can be good reasons for putting some of that open-source information under the secrecy umbrella. “The information might be unclassified but our interest in it is not,” Gen. Michael Hayden, head of the CIA, told the conference.
https://www.usnews.com/news/national/articles/2008/09/12/spy-agencies-turn-to-newspapers-npr-and-wikipedia-for-information
Thank you Sundance !
IE…Stuff it Deepstate….
Good for you Sundance. You have the gravitas as well as the eloquence to put forward our concerns to Congressional leaders. For now those Congressional leaders happen to be Republucan; I shudder to think what our chances will be if the Democrats/ProgressiveS/Anti-Constitutionalists regain control of both Legislative branches of Congress.
Since the “whistleblower” has been determined to be not credible, and people have assessed the complaint as being politically motivated…
Why doesn’t Tom Cotton subpoena the person who submitted the phony complaint?
Then question the government employee about who he or she was collaborating with, since there was a concerted effort to leak the fraudulent complaint.
Drag the MF’ers out of the shadows and put them in front of a congressional hearing. Make them lawyer up. Make them plead the 5th.
‘Then question the government employee about who he or she was collaborating with,…’
Start with Tamara….
Ms. Johnson’s career in public service includes assignments as the IC IG’s Assistant Inspector General for Planning and Operations and the Assistant Inspector General for Management and Administration from 2012 to 2020. …Ms. Johnson has led collaboratively across the IC to drive the design and evolution of intelligence community operations …
Other prior assignments include Chief of Staff for the ODNI Office of the Inspector General; Executive Officer for the CIA Directorate of Support, Non-Traditional Support Program; and Branch Chief for ODNI Facilities Programming and Space Management.
Tamara Johnson was appointed to the Senior National Intelligence Service in May 2015.

Second that suggestion!
I cut and pasted your second paragraph and emailed his office
SD,
From experience, a note to Cotton referencing this info being sent to a local newspaper in his home State WILL get him off dead-center.
I was shocked at how powerful the threat of a public notice is, but it will get immediate attention.
As Cotton has found the whistleblower’s account as not credible then perhaps the whistleblower should be looked into as slander or some such?
To paraphrase Upton Sinclair, “It is difficult to get a man to see something, when his future in the political swamp of DC depends on him not seeing it.”
Also sounds like something from Thomas Sowell, or Sundance.
Oh my Sundance you went there. 😁
God bless you and keep you safe. This scrappy old lady appreciates your dogged approach, and thanks you on behalf of her many children and grandchildren.
You are somethin’ else… 🙏❤️
Thats so awesome! Great job SD.
Next time Warner posts some concern, clap back at him with a link to your expose on the Wolfe leak with the tag: You may want to sit this one out…lol
I love the CTH!
Bravo, Sundance. BRAVO!
Brilliant!! I hope the senator has a lot of followers who read your X message. That, and him realizing all those people are being exposed to the truth, should force action.
Gold bar boy running interference for Mary McCord and removing the heat and spotlight
When will there be a story about the federal government that doesn’t have her, lurking in the background?
She is everywhere.
Salem witch trials become clearer daily.
And she’s ugly
They never stop, and what works will be used again and again. Didn’t they do something similar with Hegseth?
We are expecting more from our Congress than they are ever going to give us.
Sundance – We, the non-pretender treepers do hope you share any follow up from SSCI Chair Tom Cotton.
now we’re talkin’ – great X reply
Cotton sees a parade go by and runs out in front of it – “leadership” /s
when he could have done what Sundance suggests – and done it a long time ago …
Our IC is dirty.
And, you’re just figuring that out?
Sundance’s message to Sen Cotton is good, but it can be improved by ending with a simple statement of how to improve the problem. In other words, suggesting “oversight is lousy” should be replaced with “do this” for a better outcome. (I personally do not know what steps should be taken, but I suspect Sundance has a good idea.)
Since it is not credible, who is the whistle blower and why did he blow. Who did he blow to? Who did the blowee blow to? Find the whole chain and if it is malicious they need to face removal and justice.
Likely clues here: https://toresays.com/2025/06/21/she-fired-the-firewall-tulsi-gabbards-war-on-the-shadow-chain-of-command/
Tom Cotton is but another layer of deflection. But he’s a politician, I guess….
202-224-2353 I just called and read the clip to voice mail. Please Treepers get on the horn and call.
God Bless you Sundance you are a God sent Saint at the perfect time.
Thank you!!!!
Tulsi needs Sundance on her team 🦅💥💥💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
Voter fraud will not be needed for the midterm elections because we have republican fraud fully ramping up into gear.
Kudos, Sundance! Clear and concise presentation that even a Congress Critter should be able to understand.
Tom Cotton will have a “price”. But its fabulous that you have laid out the issue in pellucid unnequivocal words.
Maybe he wants to be the next DOW secretary ? or maybe he wants to be the next Arkansas governor or PROBABLY he wants to VP or President with the next GOP ticket. He does have neocon leanings (Lindsy-like) but he is not as bad as Randy Poo (who never stops running).
As we know ALL the senators want to be President (except maybe Thune who seems content to be a McConnell type “man of steel”. lol)
Thanks for “pellucid”. New word for me.
Cotton is a snake -worse – a smart snake. He is not MAGA or even MAGA adjacent.
Referring to (implied) yourself as an “ordinary” American, Sundance, is the one large error in your post to Cotton.
SD,
I would write him a letter also…
There you go.
The opportunity presented itself …
and you took it.
KUDOS.
Now can we name the ‘whistleblower’ expose him and get him fired?
