Anyone surprised?

We'll see whether anything comes to light... Will probably get buried somehow.

This is the deep state doing deep state things. Of course they're going to go after anyone put in place to shake up business as usual. Take anything you hear from this with a huge grain of salt.

The "deep state" is forcing Tulsi Gabbard to cover up a whistleblower report from reaching Congress? That logic makes zero sense.
WashedMasses@reddit
Let me spell it out for you.
The complaint is very likely sourced from the bowels of the intelligence community, i.e. the unelected bureaucrats who have been running things for decades. This is also known in some circles as "the deep state". The complaint was filed in May of 2025, a point at which she barely had time to unpack her desk when starting the job. As an agent of reform and change, unelected invisible bureaucrats don't typically like an "outsider" shaking things up and disturbing the status quo. Thus the bullshit complaint.

That's a cute little story, but it falls apart under basic scrutiny and reasoning. If the whistleblower report was "bullshit", then why is Tulsi Gabbard trying to cover it up and prevent it from reaching Congress?
WashedMasses@reddit
Who said she was trying to cover it up? "The whistleblower's lawyer" claims she is stonewalling. Her office rejects that characterization. We don't actually know much of anything other than the context in which this complaint is filed. Early on, with entire agencies resisting her appointment and leadership. You're welcome to draw your own conclusions.
chockZ@reddit
Well who could have guessed, more evidence has come out that points to Gabbard being involved in a cover up.
chockZ@reddit
From the article:
It has been eight months. Gabbard is clearly trying to stonewall (i.e. cover up) the disclosure of the complaint to Congress.

Could it be that she was caught leaking intelligence to Russia? Remember the report about Ukraine and European Intel sending fake info to US IC to find out if it made its way to Russia?
Just a theory, but this would be career ending and highly embarrassing on the world stage... So she'd naturally do everything she could to stall and hide this.

Just a quick explainer for how your response comes off (from a former conspiracy theory enthusiast)...
This can be a copy/paste response for literally any and everything that might put Tulsi (or other politicians) in a bad light. It doesn't require evidence, and can't be proven either way. It's a lazy, solve-all response that attempts to eternally immunize the person from any wrong-doing ever.

Like this post lol. Completely scandalous headline with absolutely zero details 🤦♂️
late_warmonger@reddit (OP)
Good point, lol... Upvote coming your way :)
WashedMasses@reddit
We basically know nothing about what this is other than the context that it presents itself. So yeah, I tend to side with Tulsi over some nameless faceless complainant emerging from the swamp to file an almost immediate complaint over her leadership. It stinks, and even her former supporters should withhold judgement until we know more.

Pretty much

You know what's really easy to do if she did nothing wrong? Follow the legal process that she's required to follow.
Saying that it's "baseless" and "politically motivated" and then hiding it is not acceptable and rightly raises serious eyebrows. If it were anyone else I believe Tulsi fans would agree.

Seems like you were right, it’s getting buried!

Heavyspire@reddit
What is there to 'wrangle over' ? Release the information to the proper people and let them investigate and sort it out. Holding back information does not make us safer.
Filed last May and is not released yet? If it was actually a problem that means that we have gone this long with someone in charge who may be a problem.

It's just bureaucracy, most probably. The "whistleblower" wanted to bypass procedure and go straight to Congress. Practical security protocols require DNI guidance on "transmission" of the complaint. DNI is the target of the complaint, though, so no one knows what to do, and you can safely bet that no one cares as well.

WELL WELL WELL

Well… what? This literally tells us nothing.

So Tulsi trying to add her name to the list of people who will be impeached next year. 😂
TheGreenBehren@reddit
What is the complaint?

The great irony is that Democracy Now is regurgitating the most likely neo-con propaganda.
God I hate petty politics so much
GrauchoMarx@reddit
Not surprised at all. Tulsi's grift tour through American politics continues. She's a Manchurian candidate.
