A letter signed by nearly 100 “national security experts” to Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence contains defamation rather than facts, according to a detailed investigation by Breitbart News. That's what it means.
That letter is published It was reportedly founded earlier this month by Foreign Policy 4 America, a center-left, Soros-funded group founded in response to President-elect Donald Trump's 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton. . InfluenceWatch.org.
The letter, signed by many former Obama and Clinton administration officials and partisan veterans, claims Gabbard was “aligned” with Russian and Syrian officials after her 2017 trip to Syria. are.
The paper said: “She publicly questioned US intelligence reports and overwhelming public reporting that President Bashar Assad had carried out chemical weapons attacks against Syrian civilians, stating that the attack was carried out by British operatives. “This gave credence to the conspiracy that was uncovered as being orchestrated by…
In fact, after visiting Syria, Gabbard stopped short of saying she didn't believe Assad carried out the attack. She said what everyone believes is “irrelevant” but she wants “evidence and facts.”
She said this in an interview with CNN on April 7, 2017.
It doesn't matter what I believe, what you believe, or what others believe. What matters here is evidence and facts. If an independent investigation into these horrific chemical weapons attacks finds President Assad responsible, I will be the first to condemn him, call him a war criminal, and call for his prosecution at the International Criminal Court. will ask for it. The results are there.
She added, “…all I'm saying is that we have the executive and legislative branches of government and we need to look at the evidence. Congress and the American people need to look at this evidence and analyze it. Based on this, it is necessary to determine whether approval from the US military is required, but I would like to What I want to say is that that's not what happened. I've never seen an independent investigation done and presented with any evidence of exactly what happened. There are various theories out there about what happened.
The letter cites a statement on a website that did not pardon Assad, but rather said, as an example of her questioning whether Assad carried out the attack: said“There is evidence that both the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad and the armed opposition forces opposing him used chemical weapons (CW) during the Syrian war.”

The letter also states that Gabbard “released a video implying that a U.S.-funded laboratory in Ukraine is developing biological weapons and that Ukraine's involvement in NATO poses a threat to Russia's sovereignty.” Both claims were initially used by Russia to justify its illegal invasion of Ukraine.
In the video, Gabbard did not say that U.S.-funded Ukrainian labs were developing biological weapons, but instead said, “According to the U.S. government, these biological labs conduct research on the use of pathogens. This statement was supported at the time. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
In March 2022, Nuland told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “There are biological research facilities in Ukraine that we are, in fact, very concerned about right now…that the Russian military is trying to gain control of them. There may be,” he said. Therefore, we are working with the Ukrainian side to consider how we can prevent these research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces if they approach. ”
Furthermore, recent wall street journal article admit The US was funding the bio research institute. “U.S. funding for Ukraine's biological research institutes is focused on that effort,” the report said. to improve security Prevents the leakage of pathogens. ”
Furthermore, March 20, 2022 wall street journal article It also acknowledged that the U.S.-funded lab worked with “hazardous biological materials.”
On his first official trip abroad, the new U.S. senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, was taken to a facility in Ukraine where the U.S. sponsored scientists working with dangerous biological materials. But instead of building biological weapons, the U.S. officials in that dilapidated building were trying to prevent deadly pathogens from falling into the hands of terrorists.
“We pulled out trays of glass bottles containing anthrax, the bacterium that causes anthrax,” said Andrew Weber, a Pentagon official who worked on the U.S.-funded program with the Ukrainian government. Weber said he showed the tray “to a very concerned young senator.”
The letter also said that “her sympathies for dictators such as Vladimir Putin and Assad raise questions about her judgment and suitability,” but Gabbard said: Called President Assad a “brutal dictator”
Gabbard has also criticized Putin many times.
On April 3, 2022, she posted:
President Putin, your brutal attack on Ukraine is not only reprehensible, but a colossal geopolitical mistake that has already caused great damage to Russia. These costs increase each time you stay in Ukraine. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Russian and Ukrainian people that you withdraw your troops now. It is not too late to restore the feeling of closeness between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, as expressed in this video clip from a Ukrainian soldier.
Gabbard then posted to X on February 25, 2022:
During my visits to Ukraine, I met many Ukrainians who have become good friends over the years. Some are stranded in Kiev, while others are trying to reach the Polish border. They are afraid and worried about their families. Please pray with me for their safety and the safety of all Ukrainians. Please join me in calling on the leaders of the United States, Russia, and Ukraine to seriously negotiate an end to this war (not just political posturing). We also call on President Putin to end the crackdown on anti-war demonstrators in Russia.
He also claimed that Gabbard would be “the least experienced Director of National Intelligence since the position was created.”
“Previous directors have experience working on intelligence issues in the executive branch or serving on Congressional intelligence committees. Most also have extensive management experience.”
But as retired three-star Air Force General Dan Leaf recently pointed out in an op-ed, current DNI Avril Haines has a background in physics and law, not intelligence.
written by leaves Washington Times: “Those who criticize Ms. Gabbard's qualifications for the role argue that the current director's background — degrees in physics and law, work within the Beltway since 2003 — includes combat deployments and time in the House of Representatives. “I'm sure the military committees think it's better than Ms. Gabbard's military service, including.” Maybe director Avril Haines has a long list of accomplishments that Americans don't know about. ”
