The media wants a scalp. Any scalp
Signalgate didn’t go as planned, so on to someone else in the Cabinet
I was only commenting on the Left/media reporting, trying to kill off Gabbard.
If you don't remember all the streams of vile, hateful sh*t that were thrown at Gabbard when she not only left the Democrat party, but denounced it in no uncertain terms, then I guess you have a mighty short memory.
The Left has hate. Nothing but hate. And they hate Gabbard -- facts and opinions don't matter. Just hate. It's what leftists do. Indeed it's all that leftists do.
These statements both occurred in the first weeks of the Trump administration. We now know that the Biden holdovers in the FBI lied to Bondi about the extent of the Epstein files in the FBI's possession.And AG Bondi's FBI told her that she received ALL of the Epstein files.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Gabbard's intel agencies fed her similar stories in the first months of the Trump administration.
It wouldn't surprise me that Obama/Biden holdovers in the intelligence agencies did the same thing to Gabbard and gave her false information on Iran to protect the legacy of the Obama/Biden Iran deal. They gave Gabbard bad intel, and she repeated it in front of Congress, just like Bondi did on TV.
They were both trusting of their own organizations and got burned. At least Bondi went public and raided the FBI offices in New York City. I don't know what Gabbard is doing about it.

Analysis of May 2025 report (excerpt)
Findings
Iran can convert its current stock of 60 percent enriched uranium into 233 kg of WGU in three weeks at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), enough for 9 nuclear weapons, taken as 25 kg of weapon-grade uranium (WGU) per weapon.
Iran could produce its first quantity of 25 kg of WGU in Fordow in as little as two to three days.
Breaking out in both Fordow and the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP), the two facilities together could produce enough WGU for 11 nuclear weapons in the first month, enough for 15 nuclear weapons by the end of the second month, 19 by the end of the third month, 21 by the end of the fourth month, and 22 by the end of the fifth month.
In front of the inspectors’ eyes, Iran is undertaking the near-final step of breaking out, now converting its 20 percent stock of enriched uranium into 60 percent enriched uranium at a greatly expanded rate, although this rate cannot be sustained much longer (see below).
Iran has no civilian use or justification for its production of 60 percent enriched uranium, particularly at the level of hundreds of kilograms. Its rush to make much more, quickly depleting its stock of near 20 percent enriched uranium, which has a civilian use in research reactors, raises more questions. Even if one believed the production of 60 percent is to create bargaining leverage in a nuclear negotiation, Iran has gone way beyond what would be needed. One has to conclude that Iran’s real intent is to be prepared to produce large quantities of WGU as quickly as possible, in as few centrifuges as possible.
Not surprisingly, and in its understated style, the IAEA reiterated in this most recent report: “The significantly increased production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear-weapon State to produce such nuclear material, is of serious concern.”...
His job is to be a truth teller. Wherever that leads.
Trump doesn’t want to go to war he hates war wants no part of it otherwise he would have signed off already
Pardon me, but horseshit.
Do you think that this time around, the incoming Trump Administration came in with starry-eyed naivete? Gabbard or Bondi or any other incoming official would have to have been braindead to rely on Biden intel.
This is someone’s interpretation.
Looooook … Israel is taking advantage of a generational opportunity to smoke Iran , set back their atomic program 5 - 10 years, and maybe regime change. Tulsi should have threaded that needle rather than generate book fodder. Bye surfer girl…
Thank you for your courteous reply.
I am not judging Gabbard based on the leftist media smears.
I am judging on the available information as I posted above which she should have been aware of.
I am also concerned that she should not let daylight be seen between her position and POTUS. Putting out videos and statements that contradict POTUS’ position is insubordination It hurts the coherence of the cabinet and weakens the ability of Trump’s administration to advance his mandate.
With all of the lawfare & lies by the left we do not need distractions eminating from his own cabinet. She is free to disagree and argue her case privately.
The intelligence swamp is wagging MAGA.
Gabbard was given a transparently and intentionally false intelligence estimate on the Iranian nuclear weapon program. One can speculate on the motivations on the part of the individuals who gave her the false information but the fact that it is false is beyond dispute.
There is plenty of incontrovertible evidence that Iran is on the brink of building a workable nuclear weapon, not the least of which is the UN IAEA inspectors report that Iran is in sprint mode to refine as much weapons grade Uranium as possible as fast as possible.
In today's world, once you have enough weapons grade uranium it does not take long or require much work to build a working device and Iran can have the parts to build several on the shelf.
IMHO what we are seeing a Trump Administration executing earned media ju jitsu operation against Biden Era Pro Iranian factions in the intelligence community that gave an intentionally false take on Iran's nuclear weapons program as part of a Russia Gate/Biden Laptop style false intel operation to undermine the Trump Administration.
Gabbard was presenting the intel she was given - to not do so would be considered a "cover up" by the Trump Administration. However, this is a pretty major discrepancy on the part of the intelligence community and if they are proven wrong , then a serious house cleaning by Gabbard is justified.
It’s a setup nothing more.
Exactly. People criticizing Gabbard should review what she actually said. She is being misquoted and Trump is falling for it.
We know that the FBI lied to Bondi, and she ended up raiding the SDNY office where James Dennehy wrote to his staff that they were "in the middle of a battle" and that he urged staffers to "dig in" against the Trump administration.
We also know that former FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to Congress and destroyed evidence of a Chinese plan to use fake IDs and fake mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.
We know that Biden's "intelligence officials" lied about the true nature of the Hunter Biden laptop, and that Obama/Biden insiders hid Biden's true health from everone.
The Iran deal was Obama "signature" foreign affairs deal (along with an unknown number of "side arrangements" that were never fully revealed). I have no doubt that his insiders controlling Biden would have had no problem feeding Gabbard false information in the first six weeks of the Trump administration to protect Obama's legacy.
It's my opinion -- you don't have to agree with it.

In her March testimony to lawmakers, Gabbard said the intelligence community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”
The earlier IAEA reports do not agree with this assessment. There are yearly reports and those in 2023 & 2024 reference unauthorized build up. I think it is an awkward moment for Gabbard probably created by the democrat pointed questions on the issue designed to obtain a “gotcha” moment.
IMO Gabbard was not up to speed at the testimony session and relied on material presented to her by either biased or inadequately prepared intelligence members.
It’s not just about the source.
A quote...
“A truth that’s told with bad intent, Beats all the lies you can invent.”
Something more folks should keep in mind.
“Doesn’t President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard get their intelligence from the same source?”
apparently not ... it would seem the intelligence community is lying to Gabbard through their teeth and she can’t figure that out ...
and i’m guessing that President Trump went directly to CIA director John Ratcliffe to get his intel regarding the iranian nuke situation ...
after all, Netanyahu said earlier this week on live TV that the Israeli’s had passed ALL of their intelligence that the Iranians were only a couple of weeks of having a nuke, which is what prompted Israel to go ahead with their strikes now instead of later ...
why Gabbord told Congress in March that the iranians hadn’t made any progress on making a nuke since 2003 means something is very wrong at the top echelon of the President Trump’s intelligence community ... AND he needs to fix that pronto ...
Mediate at it again.
