(DC Pundit) – James O’Keefe, the head honcho over at OMG, is about to blow the lid off a can of worms that’s been festering in the intelligence community.
O’Keefe took to Twitter, declaring, “OMG is going to expose the national security officials spilling the tea.” Now, if that doesn’t get your ears perked up, I don’t know what will.
It turns out that nearly 100 former national security bigwigs have their knickers in a twist over Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence – none other than Tulsi Gabbard. They’ve penned a letter urging the Senate to put Gabbard under the microscope before handing her the keys to the intelligence kingdom.
These ex-officials are claiming, “Several of Ms. Gabbard’s past actions call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress, and to the entire national security apparatus.” They’re particularly hot under the collar about Gabbard’s Syrian sojourn, muttering that she “aligned herself with Russian and Syrian officials.”

The former spooks are pushing for Gabbard’s confirmation hearing to be held behind closed doors. They’re saying, “Senate committees should consider in closed sessions all information available to the U.S. government when considering Ms. Gabbard’s qualifications to manage our country’s intelligence agencies, and more importantly, the protection of our intelligence sources and methods.”
Does this all sounds familiar to you? It should. This letter bears an uncanny resemblance to the one that surfaced during the 2020 election cycle over Hunter Biden’s emails. Back then, over 50 ex-intelligence folks claimed the New York Post story about those emails had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Among the signatories of this latest letter, we have: Wendy Sherman, who used to be Biden’s deputy secretary of state; Ian Kelly, who played ambassador to Georgia for both Obama and Trump; and Eric Green, a former member of Biden’s National Security Council.
Here’s the million-dollar question: Are these folks really looking out for national security, or are they just trying to throw a monkey wrench into Trump’s plans? O’Keefe seems to think there’s more to this story than meets the eye, and he’s ready to spill the beans.
So, buckle up, buttercup. This ride’s about to get bumpy. O’Keefe is promising to take us through the murky world of intelligence officials and their behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
