Gabbard’s Attacks on Obama Put the Attorney General in a Tough Spot
New York Times ^ | July 24, 2025 | Glenn Thrush and Julian E. Barnes

The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation.

President Trump made clear this week that Tulsi Gabbard was back in his good graces.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Trump excoriated Ms. Gabbard, one of his top intelligence officials, over a video she filmed during a trip to Asia that he saw as self-promotional, and she was left out of some meetings in the lead-up to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to two people with knowledge of what happened.

But on Tuesday...

Well, read it if you want. I'm posting it to show how many leakers still are collecting paychecks, and how the Deep State, threatened as never before, is using all their tools to attack Tulsi Gabbard - and to make Blondi look bad (which isn't hard).

Blondi may actually have to prosecute somebody of importance.

Blondi tops out her talent prosecuting Florida man drug dealers. She was never meant for the big time. The Peter Principle.

NYT is in a tough spot. They changed their story to cover for BO’s treasonous Russian collusion narrative.

The New York Times published a story on October 31, 2016 by Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers titled “Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia.”

Then nearly a decade of Russia, Russia, Russia.

I’d say walking back that lie is impossible but they will try.

If you can’t defend your lie, all you have left is to attack your accuser.

Derp State puppets Glenn Thrush and Julian E. Barnes weigh in.

Maybe they’ll parrot Deep State talking points about RussiaRussiaRussiagate next, when Benedict Obama rams his hand up their sockpuppet backsides and makes them quack at will.

If the "leakers" are unnamed then this article doesn't show me how many leakers are still collecting a paycheck.

To be fair, Gabbard is making those three clowns Bondi, Patel and Bongino look incompetent.

Tulsi Gabbard was my VP choice on this site even while she was still a Democrat, and it appears she is starting to grow on people.

Something I’ve noticed about Tulsi - she is very well spoken. Even impromptu, she sticks to the point and communicates well, thinks clearly on her feet. Good qualities for seeking higher office.

When she gutted Kammy at the debate, it was a thing of beauty.

You know this how? Trump seems very happy with them even if you are not.

Gabbard’s claims on Obama most likely ignore his acts have the same presidential immunity, as President, as did Trump’s actions as President according to SCOTUS.

Gabbard likely overreached with her criminal request to Bondi, and she should have tailored down that request, leaving it to Bondi as to how the law should proceed. It might have been different if she had made two referrals to Bondi - one for Clapper, Brennan et al, which would assume the possibility that answers from Clapper and Brennan, or other witnesses, may reveal additional names and additional possible criminal acts. And a separate kind of referral to Bondi as regards Obama, more in the form of an inquiry for DOJ to determine what DOJ thinks would or would not be covered by Presidential immunity.

(Gabbard’s claims on Obama most likely ignore his acts have the same presidential immunity, as President, as did Trump’s actions as President according to SCOTUS.)

Seditious Conspiracy is something Obama can be indicted on. That was not an official duty as president. Also the statute of limitations don’t apply.
