Summary

Republican senators are privately pushing to review Tulsi Gabbard’s FBI file amid concerns about her alignment with Russian interests following her nomination as Trump’s director of national intelligence.

Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. state secrets, has drawn particular scrutiny, as has her history of echoing Russian talking points on Ukraine and Syria.

While GOP senators are publicly deferring to Trump’s pick, some, including Sens. Mike Rounds and Susan Collins, emphasize the importance of full background checks and hearings to address potential security risks.

    You weren’t stating it as opinion, you were stating it as if it’s objective fact.

    Very big difference in wording.

      I think you might be confused. it’s not your fault.

      unless someone provides evidence, it should always be considered an opinion. that’s how the world used to work.

      now everyone just reads all comments as facts instead of using their cognitive ability to read and comprehend. it’s not your fault that the Internet made your brain lazy.

        You are a child. Or at minimum, very childish.

        I recommend swallowing your extremely overinflated pride/ego, and growing up a bit.

          big words coming from someone attacking a “child”.

          because you couldn’t argue against what I said you decided to attack me personally. seems pretty immature to me.

          BTW, that is my opinion. just clarifying so it’s not confused as fact. some people read anything on the Internet and automatically attribute it as fact these days. also an opinion, but I might have some proof around here that could sustain it as a strong theory.

          😉

              is that supposed to bother me?

              It’s downright depressing that you’re willing to go to such lengths to show how pathetic you are.

              The fact that you’re going the nuclear option tells me that you’re jimmied to the extreme and honesty I’m sad for you.

              seek help.
