WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Vice President JD Vance said bureaucrats at U.S. intelligence services were "out of control" and he defended Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump's nominee to head those services, as the right person for the job.

"The bureaucrats at our intelligence services have gotten completely out of control," Vance said in an interview with the CBS "Face the Nation" program broadcast Sunday.

"They've been part of the weaponization of our political system, the weaponization of our justice system.

"We need to have good intelligence services who keep us safe, but part of that is restoring trust in those services, and we think Tulsi is the right person to do it."

Correct as suspected by many patriots for a long time with no resources to take them to task. A disgrace by the deep state. Thanks VP Vance.

Everyone involved with putting Tulsi Gabbard on the TSA “Terror Watch List” needs to be sitting in a prison cell, including the lowest peon who clicked the buttons on the computer keyboard.

I agree. Vance can think on his feet and his arguments are full of intelligence and clarity. Vance’s other skill is to keep on talking even while someone else is trying to interrupt him rudely.

They need purged of unprofessional and partisan senior leaders.

A set of rules need established that define the limits (do's and don’ts) by these officials and their agencies which have become a major player in partisan political games (surveillance of Trump tower, J6, Hunters laptop, Russian collusion BS...).

First rule of American intelligence: don’t commit a ‘color revolution’ on your own country. These scum see to be tried for treason and hanged if found guilty.

Gabbard's selection in November to be director of national intelligence sent shock waves through the national security establishment, adding to concerns that the intelligence community would become increasingly politicised.<---<< Those words spewed from the mouth of a "member of the intelligence community" !!!

WOW !!! Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle Black !?!

This is hardly breaking news, nor is it surprising.

I still think that one of the greatest heroes and acts of courage was NSA head, Admiral Mike Rogers, going on November 22, 2016 to warn Trump that Trump Tower and his transition team were being spied upon.

If you look closely at the Steele set up and the attempt to plant a mole in the Trump organization the CIA enlisted “brother traitor agencies” within 5 eyes to set up the potential mole. It is beyond just USA intelligence agencies; the Deep State is transnational and has its fingers in many other countries.

These are the O’Bama/Holder boyz and gurls who sobbed their eyes out for the DNC toadie media the night President Trump beat Hillary Clintoon. The “media” reported how the “seventeen intelligence communities” were all out there uncontrollably crying their eyes out and throwing tantrums.

There’s obviously something very, very wrong when “51 intelligence agents” called Hillary’s “Steele Dossier” as “truth” /Captain Obvious is Obvious
