An alignment between Russia and Tulsi Gabbard is worrying some Senate Intelligence Committee members.

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.

    The question of whether someone works for a government is not really a matter of opinion

      I’ll give you a legitimate response since I’ve got the time while taking the Browns to the Super Bowl.

      opinions are varied and limitless as the ideas that feed them. One can have opinions on opinions!

      so, when the neurons in your brain were firing on all cylinders to come up with your question, did you actually think that one couldn’t have an opinion on something as menial and useless as, “whether someone works for a government”?

      I have many opinions, some are rather good, others not so much.

      for example, my opinion of you isn’t very good.
