Gabbard refers impeachment whistleblower to DOJ for criminal investigation

"ODNI can confirm a criminal referral was sent to DOJ related to one or more former employees of the Intelligence Community and their role in the 2019 impeachment of President Trump," an ODNI spokesperson told Just The News.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday referred the 2019 Ukraine impeachment whistleblower against Donald Trump, as well as the former intelligence community inspector general, for criminal investigation by the Justice Department, officials told Just The News.

The criminal referrals were sent to the Justice Department just four days after Gabbard declassified intelligence that the CIA analyst who filed against Trump that prompted the impeachment had misled the investigators who first received his whistle-blower complaint and that then-inspector general Michael Atkinson kept evidence of the whistleblowers' bias from the impeachment proceedings.

"ODNI can confirm a criminal referral was sent to DOJ related to one or more former employees of the Intelligence Community and their role in the 2019 impeachment of President Trump," an ODNI spokesperson told Just The News.

Just the News reported Sunday that documents recently showed the intelligence community's chief watchdog had flagged concerns about the CIA analyst who launched the 2019 impeachment proceedings against Trump with Ukraine policy-related allegations, but those concerns were kept classified and never made public during the congressional proceedings.

She’s not serious about this. If the DOJ actually decided to charge whoever this is with a real crime, they’d be able to demand extensive discovery, including Gabbard on the stand as a hostile witness.

How would Tulsi be a hostile witness?

The defense might say Tulsi is a hostile witness because the Deep State put her on a terrorist watch list. I hope they live to regret casting official suspicion on Tulsi.

Hey, at this rate this should all be cleared up really quickly... Like in a hundred years or so.
