NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump (www.theguardian.com)

Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Last spring, the National Security Agency (NSA) detected evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower’s attorney briefed on the existence of the call.

The highly sensitive communique, which has roiled Washington over the past week, was brought to the attention of the director of national intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard – but rather than allowing NSA officials to distribute the information further, she took a paper copy of the intelligence directly to the president’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the attorney, Andrew Bakaj, said.

One day after meeting Wiles, Gabbard told the NSA not to publish the intelligence report. Instead, she instructed NSA officials to transmit the highly classified details directly to her office.

Details of this exchange between Gabbard and the NSA were shared directly with the Guardian and have not been previously reported. Nor has Wiles receipt of the intelligence report.

Mean this term is worse but if that was possible it would have happened before the end of the first one I assume, the world watched Trump looking like he was Putin's dog at ... Well whatever conference that was. Assume it was a bad employee review. Now this administration has axed everyone that has so much as a raised eyebrow to their actions and doesn't want to gargle that baby carrot.

In the end I don't think there's any saving except by the American citizens in some action. Least before it gets much worse on a world stage. Beyond alienating allies and doing his tariff quick attack which seems to be the standard 'attack other countries that include nato when they don't say yes'.

Kind of like an abuser would do huh....and Trump has only been named 38k times in the released Epstein files from pages that aren't completely blacked out? I'm sure it's just a coincidence....the sound of your tub draining is the same one American democracy is doing as it's sucked into his bank account.
