Tulsi Gabbard demanding access to intel agency emails to find spies working to undermine the Trump agenda: report

[highplainsdem]

Source: Independent

A team created by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has allegedly sought mass amounts of internal emails and chat logs from top U.S. spy agencies, in an effort to use A.I. tools to screen for government employees opposing the Trump administration agenda.

The team, known as the Director’s Initiative Group, has reportedly sought information from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and other agencies involved in sensitive intelligence work, unnamed insiders told The Washington Post.

Sources told the paper the alleged effort, which so far has been unsuccessful, would represent a “treasure trove of a target for any foreign intelligence service to go after” if ever completed, and was conducted with an underlying emphasis on rooting out ostensible “Deep State” career officials working to undermine the president.

Gabbard’s team has reportedly framed its data access efforts as an attempt to pursue increased efficiency and transparency, similar to the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency initiative that took place across a variety of U.S. agencies.

1. One of my biggest disappointments so far

Is that our spooks are apparently so much more principled and disciplined than in the movies or on teevee. If they were, somebodies would be dead right now. Dead, dead, dead.

[Shipwack]

13. Yeah... They chose NOW to develop scruples? nt

[DENVERPOPS]

14. You don't think that stunt

by Cheney un-veiling Valerie Plame as a CIA agent didn't cause people to drop all over the world in less than 24 hours??????????????????

[ms liberty]

21. WTF are you even talking about? When Valerie Plame was outed, OUR spies are the ones who died

It wasn't Cheney, *, OR Scooter Libbey who suddenly died or disappeared, it was OUR double agents and spies.. Ergo, our spooks were not "taking care of" business and were not acting like the teevee and movies, where spies go after their corrupt bosses and political leaders.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. That was the point I was

trying to make, that no matter how good/professional our Intel people are, the Powers To Be can get our people screwed.

I am sure it happens more than we ever know. Much like Trump taking pictures of Seal Team Six sailors, and putting it on the internet with their faces shown and it ruined the careers of all those Seals.........

[Blue Owl]

2. The Russians are weeding out the American Patriots from our government, basically

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes competent patriots must go. The govt will be full of MAGAs.

[IA8IT]

3. Recrutin' for Putin. Go ask f**king Elon he downloaded EVERYTHING!!

Zero faith Gabbard is a safe bet.

Everyone in the Trump Administration are there to make money for themselves.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. And every last one of them

kicking, scratching, and clawing to make sure they end up in the top 1%.............

[Phoenix61]

5. Like Intel employees are going to use work tech to

gripe about the administration. She really is dumb as a box of rocks.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. If there ever were a deep state it would have asserted itself long ago.

This is a phishing expedition.

[brush]

7. Gabbard trying to get back in trump's good graces. It's called next level ass kissing.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

10. My exact thoughts, also.

I thought Gabbard was on thin ice and they wanted to fire her.

[brush]

11. She's trying to stay afloat. There's nowhere else to go after turning rethug. Can't comeback to Dems.

[Brenda]

8. Paranoia seems to have taken over the Chump Admin.

Are they all using meth now?

[DENVERPOPS]

16. They are all running for their future lives.......

Literally........

[travelingthrulife]

9. Gabbard still trying to suck up to the guy who says he didn't care what she said about

the status of nuclear arms in Iran. Such pathetic people.

[Eugene]

12. Trying to win back Dump's favor with a crude show of bootlicking.

A witch hunt for saboteurs is a classic authoritarian move.

[Figarosmom]

17. Whats the point?

After Peter Strzok they should all know enough to communicate in secret.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Look in the mirror

It's the Trump misadministration's incompetence that's undermined your agenda. Thankfully.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. Try asking the citizens who read the news. They're the ones to blame. nt

[Javaman]

20. after the whole "Iran doesn't have nukes" thing,

she seems to be doing very well slithering through the mud to save her own skin.
