Gabbard will sterilize intel.
This is important in that the Swamp needs narrative infected intel to justify their votes.
If she informs the agencies that intel from allies that is not supported by satellite imagery will not be briefed to the president or Congress, everything in foreign affairs changes. It will be explosive. If S. Korea and Japan have been the source of most N. Korea description and this is not confirmed, suddenly N. Korea becomes less evil.
This will be so in Ukraine too. And Venezuela.
Hers is the most important of the nominations. Being a woman could get her surprise votes. She has none of the Hegseth scandal around her, and several Dem Senators are new and don’t hold a party change grudge.
Her odds are better than RFK.
Very interesting
Not all intel CAN be “supported by satellite imagery” and yes, NK is EVIL.
Disregarding humint would be a very serious mistake. It is crucial.
Gabbard may be toughest of all to get confirmed. Control of the shadows is critical to the swamp. If she is not a turn coat she has the moxy to turn them on their heads. I think she does have the anger for it.
If she informs the agencies that intel from allies that is not supported by satellite imagery will not be briefed to the president or Congress, everything in foreign affairs changes.

So you are advocating getting rid of HUMIT and ELINT? How does one take a picture of documents on someone’s desk in a building?
May as well close up the shops: CIA, DIA, NSA, etc., since foreign affairs will be dictated by satellite imagery - satellites which have known obit times, allowing things to be hidden. She, by committing this utter stupidity, will truly sterilize intel - it will be DOA.
