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.
My thoughts too. I prefer non functional over fascist functional.
Though it looks like people around him this time are expecting to be able to manipulate him and to have a real power.
Another concern is that he likely replace Thomas and Alito with younger ones, basically cementing this corrupted makeup.
I could see Alito retiring for party over country but Thomas is too self-serving, he’d have to die to give up the free money position.
He better book his rooms on the ground floor for the next 4 years then, or else a certain somebody might try his overlord’s favorite trick.
