Yeah, Tulsi is a transparency hero, truly, because it has been almost seven years, and it wasn't until now that we finally got this out.

So thank goodness for her taking this initiative.

I think she had to fight a whole lot of bureaucratic inertia at best and probably bureaucratic infighting at worst because –

this whole thing implicated really an entire cottage industry within Washington, which is the unaccountable foreign policy deep state that thinks everyone else works for them.

And so she didn't just have to fight within the Intel community.

She had to fight within Congress.

She had to fight within the Intel people on the Hill and, you know, including Republicans, because not everyone there is on board with the kind of transparency we want.

So,

Thank goodness she got that out when she did, even though it's, you know, seven years later, because it's really, really important for us to know the facts.

And I'm thankful for her commitment to transparency on this.

Absolutely.

Because recall, she did this on that phony, bogus Intel community assessment that came out after the 2016 election that allegedly claimed Trump was working for Putin and Putin wanted Trump to win.

And she was the one who went and interviewed all of those analysts who went and looked at all the notes and found that, hey, actually, they cooked the books.

They misrepresented Intel.

The whole thing was a joke.

That was Tulsi, who a great personal colleague.

um, credibility and reputational risk went in there and said, no, I don't care how bad this makes you look.

We're getting this out.

The people need to know it.

They had better.
