Senator Mark Warner

But the fact that somebody's lying, but what makes it even worse, and I don't want to go way back in time, but it's almost Nixonian in terms of this kind of cover-up.

The president of the United States is not supposed to know about a search warrant before it's issued.

So whoever was talking to Gabbard, especially if it was the president, had no business.

This was exactly the kind of malpractice that took Richard Nixon down.

And all of the reforms that took place in the late 70s were trying to prevent this from happening again.

Well, first of all, why would the president of the United States

know about a search warrant before it was even issued?

Why would the President of the United States talk to the direct FBI folks on the ground in Georgia?

Why would they then not get their story straight about who asked Gabbard, who had no right or role

to be in Georgia to supervise this, because if there was any evidence of foreign interference, she's also broken the law by not telling her oversight committees, the intelligence committees, that there was any of this foreign malign influence.

And she, by the way, has, frankly,

disabled and taken down much of the structure that was put up in the first Trump administration to make sure there wasn't election interference.

So I've gone from like a year ago saying, no, they wouldn't really be this outrageous to now absolutely believing that Gabbard, who desperately seeks Trump's favor, will do anything

and that Trump will do anything, even to the state, of trying to interfere in our elections and potentially interfere in the outcomes.

The whole notion that he continues to talk about federalizing elections in certain key states, that is against the Constitution.

So this is as chilling a time as anything I've seen.

I believe they're trying to sow doubt every way they can.

Remember, this was the same crowd that after 2020 somehow thought that Italian satellites sponsored by Iran or Venezuela was sending, you know, satellite beams into disrupting these machines.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Again, the director of national intelligence has no responsibility for the the domestic security of our elections.
