DNI Tulsi Gabbard is stepping down as director of national intelligence at the end of June, but the radical left had better be fearful of what will occur in her final weeks.

Gabbard announced her resignation after her husband, Abraham, was diagnosed with what she described as “an extremely rare form of bone cancer.” She said she must “step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.”

Gabbard devoted her time at ODNI to wage a full-frontal assault on the entrenched intelligence bureaucracy, and she’s performed exquisitely.

Before she leaves, she will release investigative findings in weekly updates. The areas to be covered will be the Havana Syndrome; the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic; the government’s weaponization of intelligence agencies; and the 2020 presidential election. If Democrats thought they could breathe easier with her gone, they should order breathing machines now. Every one of these subjects has been a political firestorm for years, and Gabbard is positioning her office to release her official findings while she still has the authority to do so.

Moreover, she was dogged on the Russian collusion hoax. She exposed the intricate details of how the Obama administration weaponized intelligence against Trump in the 2016 campaign during his presidency. Democrats didn’t want her confirmed because she is a stickler for transparency.

In light of the soon-to-be-released records, it is safe to assume the Democrats don’t want this information released before the mid-terms.
