IIRC it was Chuck U Schumer who once said that the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday to get ya.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Drag them all out, polygraph them, seek financial and cell ph records.

[Sirius Lee]

The most common arrow in their manipulative quiver is the term “sources and methods.”

So that's what they're calling "crimes and corruption" now.

[Gay State Conservative]

I've heard that a very effective way to punish them is to pull their security clearance. I guess it's that clearance that allows them to make very serious $$$ after they leave the government payroll.

Of course pulling the clearance would only be Step 1. Step 2 would be a flurry of subpoenas to testify in from of Federal grand juries.

Then it would be on to Step 3!

The old “sources and methods” dodge. While honorable to try to protect, they have become as phony an excuse as “ongoing investigation”. When Joe Biden goes to jail for outing Seal Team 6, I might start believing it again.

BTTT

The sooner the better for Joe Biden going to prison, for any one of a number of things, or all of them.

“IIRC it was Chuck U Schumer who once said that the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday to get ya.”

Yes. The then Senate Majority Leader came right and said the intelligence community runs the country, and nobody batted an eye.

Tulsi’s tough - and obviously over target...my money’s on her....

What Israel first media? They hate Israel more than this author.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Let’s be truthful. The CIA has sucked since the O’Bammie terrorists came along and weaponized it against Americans. These are the same jackasses who failed to see 09/11 or the Kung Flu Covid Pandemic coming along.

[Chgogal]

The Clinton/Brennan/Clapper/Comey Cabal needs to be investigated, indicted, tried and prosecuted.

[Starboard]

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.”

************

So WaPo doesn't like the concept of a watch dog to keep others honest. But if this situation was reversed and a Dem president had been undermined by self-serving agencies, then the WaPo would be all for it.

[Vaduz]

On a mission for MAGA all American woman.

[Mr. Jeeves]

So it's Israel, and it's Thiel.

But Trump would not be President today without their approval - and he knows it.

Can the GOP follow through on this without tearing itself apart?

[MCSETots]

Just remember, that “sources and methods” is how many of the J6ers were convicted without being able to challenge the “evidence” used to convict them or force plea deals . . .

[Bshaw]

“IIRC it was Chuck U Schumer who once said that the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday to get ya.”

You recall correctly. One of the ways they chose to go after Gabbard was to add her to the terrorist watch program called “Silent Skies”, subjecting Gabbard to flight travel delays and additional screening during all domestic air travel.

Additionally, it was disclosed that her being on that list required that an Air Marshall be present on all flights booked by Gabbard.

I’m sorry she’s making them uncomfortable these days; the IC has been making Americans uncomfortable because of their conduct, but what they have done and by what they have left undone, for decades now.

Sorry that Tulsi makes them uncomfortable, they can suck on it!

Both CIA and FBI should have been cleansed long ago. Like in March.
