President Donald Trump directly rebuked Tulsi Gabbard, his own director of national intelligence, during a Q&A with reporters on Friday afternoon amid reports that shes an increasingly irrelevant figure within his administration.
After being asked by MSNBCs Vaughn Hillyard about why he was considering a strike on Iran given his expressed opposition to the Bush administrations war in Iraq, Trump stated that Iran had gathered a tremendous amount of [nuclear] material.
What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point, followed up Hillyard.
Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that? shot back Trump. Your director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, observed the reporter. Shes wrong, replied Trump matter-of-factly. The commander-in-chiefs dismissal of Gabbard comes just a few days after Politico reported that Gabbard was on the outs.

But my hunch is that Tulsi is actually spewing what the intelligence reports say,
and that Krasnov is pissed because it doesn't match his desired gambit.
With such a substantive track record of abject lies, Krasnov gets the fugly finger
this time for this particular set of G.O.P. lies.

I don't know why Trump is more allied with Netanyahu than Putin now. I can only speculate that Bibi's kompromat is somehow worse.

(5,949 posts)At least they had the intelligence to work the "intelligence." I still pity Colin Powell. They ruined that man... as well as cost the lives of how many of our intelligence assets in the field?!

The intel/kompromat those guys must have on him must be damning.
