Comically pathetic testimony by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., grilled Gabbard over the nature of the texts.
"Director Gabbard, did you participate in the group chat with Secretary of Defense and other Trump senior officials discussing the Yemen war plans?" the committee vice chairman asked her.
"I don’t want to get into the specifics," she responded, noting that the matter is "currently under review by the National Security Council."
"There was no classified material that was shared in that," Gabbard also said.
"So then if there [was] no classified material, share it with the committee," Warner shot back. "You can't have it both ways. These are important jobs. This is our national security. Bobbing and weaving and trying to, you know, filibuster your answer. So please answer the question. Director Gabbard, if this was a rank-and-file intelligence officer who did this kind of careless behavior, what would you do with them?"
"Senator, I'll reiterate that there was no classified material that was shared in that," she said. 🙄
In another exchange Gabbard refused to say if she was using her personal phone while communicating from overseas on the war plans discussion thread.

by Curt_Anderson on March 25, 2025 10:58 amAs top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia
President Trump's Ukraine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, when he was included in a group chat with more than a dozen other top administration officials — and inadvertently, one journalist — on the messaging app Signal, a CBS News analysis of open-source flight information and Russian media reporting has revealed.
Russia has repeatedly tried to compromise Signal, a popular commercial messaging platform that many were shocked to learn senior Trump administration officials had used to discuss sensitive military planning. cbsnews.com

by oldedude on March 25, 2025 11:27 am I know this is unknown territory. You know. Where there's a security breach and they actually have an investigation by the ODNI. And just like the police, they won't give much information except for what they want to. My guess is that IF the email was not classified, the investigation is because they're looking at computer activity back 6 months+ or since he's been in the agency. THAT is not releasable information. Period. Endofstory. Just like giving specifics in a rape and murder. So while having a (no "kidding") investigation is odd to you, I think you ought to get used to is. You know, "suck it up buttercup!"
So, the difference is, neither the DNI or the president are child hair sniffers and don't shower with their tweenage daughters. And aren't trying to fabricate a story about a past president to take him to court on twelve hundred counts of "we don't like you," (it's a felony and a direct to our "democracy," you know).

Here's the video. What's abundantly clear to ole pb is that Warner is an SOB.

Heh heh heh... hehehehe...!!!
by Navy2711 on March 25, 2025 2:27 pm I understand that there's boundaries on what Gabbard can say, but she's CLEARLY not cooperating. Mark Warner not motioning to hold her in contempt makes him the real clown of this story. He's not doing his job in the hearing, he's communicating that Congress's power is limited to making people show up and literally grunt any answer at all, and he's complicit in what he accuses Gabbard of doing — endangering American lives.
Incidentally:
"With a net worth of $214.1 million, Warner is the third-wealthiest member of Congress and its wealthiest Democrat."
en.wikipedia.org
by oldedude on March 25, 2025 3:43 pm Sounds like the pedojoe administration regarding the border, and subpoenas for Treasury, DOJ, DOS, etcetcetc. Congress still hasn't gotten subpoenas regarding cliton.
"With a net worth of $214.1 million, Warner is the third-wealthiest member of Congress and its wealthiest Democrat."
So those bribes, graft, and corruption are working for him eh?

po,
I truly wonder what Donna and you think the story is, based on where you find your, uh, "news." Baha ha.
by Curt_Anderson on March 25, 2025 4:07 pm It's a monumental screw up and security breach. I get my news from many of the sources listed, which I link to below. The better question, HtS, is where are you getting your "news" that isn't reporting it as an egregious leak?

This was a fuckup of astounding proportion. Stupidity beyond it's own boundaries.
I bet Putin hasn't even stopped laughing yet.
This is what you get when you hire incompetent, no-experience, sycophantic morons. None of them know what thefuck they are doing in the slightest. No clue. Tulsi looked like a deer in the headlights. She knew how busted they all were. Careless, hazardous clowns. Nothing in the history of our country compares at all.
by Navy2711 on March 25, 2025 5:41 pm Hate,
I, as well, would be interested in your answer to Curt's question. What news sources are you reading that say this a nothing-burger?
by oldedude on March 25, 2025 9:26 pm My 40+ years in the intel community. and you need to read the rest of the fucking post. My point is (that I've made several times now) is that they are doing more in the first 5 days, then your pedojoe did in 8 years for the intel community. All of these things just slid by them and they didn't give a fuck. Now that it's turned on you. You make a BFD out of it. You're just a two-faced little bitch with no stones.

"This was a fuckup of astounding proportion. Stupidity beyond it's own boundaries."
po,
Here's a rarity. I agree with you.
However,...
...to this point, no one, on either side, has indicated the content of the material in question.
So far, all I see from your side is TDS inspired Chicken Little-isms. I don't know, yet, that that's justified.
And, honestly, after all of you stood with your "feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" murderous, mismanaged Afghanistan withdrawal, even in the worst case, I ain't gunna find it easy to take seriously your concern for national security.

If anyone seeks truth, this is the best journalism I've found so far. An attempt at some objectivity... unsatisfactory responses.
But, if anyone besides OD and pb cares about truth...

Jeffrey Goldberg has done interviews in which, without giving away specific details, he has indicated the content of the material in question pretty damned clearly. He has spelled out fully the level of information that was being discussed and its incredibly classified nature quite thoroughly.
Hegseth, Gabbard... all of 'em are lying their fucking fascist asses off.
