May be Cotton has some items in his closet and does not want NON-Deep-Stater Tulsi to be able to open his closet.

Cotton is bad news, he showed it during her and Ratcliffe’s confirmation hearings, forcing everyone to love em some FISA STASI.

Cornyn is another Deep State, anti-MAGA RINO to watch your back from on SSCI. He apparently specializes in censorship and worldwide (including domestic) information warfare.

Cotton and Warner loved each other up on how great the Intelligence Committee cooperates and thinks as one. Like the wolves at the little piggy birthday party.

Hope I am wrong.

A graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law, and a frequent guest on the ultimate RINO media hack Hugh Hewitt’s show. No wonder I’ve been always suspicious of Tom Cotton.

Is this all deep state leakers who are against Tulsi and they are using what pols they can get wway with using, to “restrain” Gabbard?

The DNi is part of the Executive Branch, so Congress has no authority to determine the scope of the duties and authority of the DNI.

I used to have a high opinion of Cotton, but that is changing. I suspect Cotton wants to oversee the intelligence agencies. Not going to happen.

Cotton has some legit concerns .

For example, Gabbard has released information that shows that Dutch Intelligence had penetrated Russian Intelligence and had direct access to Russian intel.

Not sure the Dutch are very happy about this.

The reason the dirt bags have been able to get away with as much as they have is because the information is classified as secret.

To properly expose the people who need to be exposed a lot of sensitive intel and dirty deals done by US and foreign intel are going to have to be exposed.

I’m no fan of Carlson, but I do give him credit for being right on this.

As usual, the DS left is lashing out at the one or the ones that they deem most dangerous or harmful to their agenda. Right now that is Tulsi at the DNI. Next week it could be back to Trump, himself. These cretins need to be dealt with... harshly... and now, rather than later.

“Aside from Tucker being a loon...”

Tucker would have much less difficulty in proving that he is not a loon than you, yourself, proving you are not a loon.

“”To properly expose the people who need to be exposed a lot of sensitive intel and dirty deals done by US and foreign intel are going to have to be exposed.””

And the alternative... ie to ‘not’ expose is to allow the DS ‘enemies within’ to continue their dirty dealings. America will not survive as a free-nation under that scenario. We really have no choice if we aim to save America, as founded, for future generations.

Didn't say I was opposed to exposing the intel abuses, just saying that there are legit concerns about releasing information that could compromises foreign intel sharing.

On the other hand, the abuses by all of the intel services have really gotten out of hand and perhaps we need a 21st Century version of the Church Committee to clean up the abuses.

If anything, I'm of the Trump "burn down the corrupt system and as many corrupt players as possible along with it " state of mind

Frankly, President Trump will veto any Cotton legislation he does not like and I don't think he has a veto proof majority.

seems solid info confirmed by Charlie Kirk to Tucker Carlson

Conservative Treehouse (Sundance) reported this four days ago, with document images.
