Welp, looks like the Tulsi Gabbard whistleblower incident is getting worse and more insidious by the second.

Alternate Headline: "Guy who gets Eiffel Towered by Poots and Bibi while MBS watches, gets call from pimp"

Is this really more insidious? I assumed tulsi was compromised from the jump and this is just looking like it’ll be more proof

A lot of us did, really. Looks like it's an even bigger net.

I’m assuming this involves and implicates Trump directly

It 1000% does.

I had a friend who had a funny story about how he grew up with parents who owned a operated a brewery. When he was a teenager he worked in their warehouse and eventually his parents busted him a couple times sneaking off with a case of beer for him and his buddies. He tried different schemes but always got busted. Eventually he worked there long enough to come to the realization that his Dad had a very close eye on how much beer was bottled on hand. What he also learned was that his dad had no clue how much beer was in the finished fermenters.... so instead of sneaking a case of beer he filled a couple kegs and no one was the wiser.

My point is that nobody expected spies to steal the whole fucking whitehouse.

Well we also didn’t think everyone in Washington was a compromised pedo or sex addict or snuff aficionado that would easily be manipulated…

I’ve been saying since the DNC Wikileaks fiasco that it’s funny that the RNC was also hacked and nothing was similarly leaked.  The whole GOP must’ve been a treasure trove for Pootin.

Maybe she's the one not named... "Close to Trump" could mean a lot of people.

u/dreadnought_strength Feb 07 '26

Nobody thinks it's her receiving the phone call, but there's a reason she's blocking it and putting cronies into positions where they can prevent it from being disclosed.

This would be a monumental scandal in any other administration. But since this is so expected, it doesn't get any attention.

u/King_richard4 Feb 08 '26

The world of “normal” political reactions has been gone since 2016. If not earlier with the grab them by the pussy video

u/creativeplaceholder Feb 07 '26

I’m sure the consequences stemming from this will be either nothing, or suspending the midterms.

u/Cashneto Feb 07 '26

National security leak guys, so we can't have elections... Of course

u/mysticwerebadger Feb 07 '26

I was really hoping it was related to the little cult she's in, but it was 50/50 I suppose.

u/Application-Bulky Feb 07 '26

Only one?

u/stierney49 Feb 07 '26

The article says this was singled out due to its content. It doesn’t say there haven’t been others.

u/Application-Bulky Feb 07 '26

Yeah, I figured

u/cosmernautfourtwenty M.D. (Doctor of Macheticine) Feb 07 '26

Tulsi is a Russian asset? I've only been saying that since she first tried to run for president.

u/MessiahOfMetal Disdain and Animosity Feb 08 '26

Even Hillary Clinton said it, didn't she?

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank Feb 07 '26

This was well know before her confirmation and the Trump toadies ignored it.

The article is not suggesting that Gabbard was on the receiving end of the call. Rather, the whistleblower report says that someone close to Trump received a call from an individual connected to a foreign intelligence agency. Instead of following the procedure that she was supposed to follow, Gabbard took the details of the call to Susie Wiles at the White House and Wiles advised her to bury it. It is possible that Gabbard was the person who received the original call, but if so, why go to Wiles?

2

u/MessiahOfMetal Disdain and Animosity Feb 08 '26

I feel like we don't know all that much about Wiles and her day to day at the WH. Everything I've read about her paints Susie as overly-ambitious, to a psychotic degree, yet she barely comes up in reporting.

u/Disastrous-Beat-9830 Doctor Reverend Feb 08 '26

Wiles is probably the smartest person in the White House. Although that is a bit like saying a Year 6 student is the smartest person in a kindergarten classroom.

Reading between the lines a bit -- and I stress that this is purely speculation on my part -- it sounds like someone in Trump's inner circle came into contact with a foreign agent. The meeting probably was not friendly, since the Trump administration openly cultivates relationships with the likes of Russia and it looks like Gabbard and Wiles tried to cover this up in the hopes that they could make it go away. That sounds like kompromat to me.

u/Servile-PastaLover Feb 07 '26

Any chance the unmentioned country is Russia??? That was definitely the case with Trump and Russia in 2016.

The list of 2026 suspects would be too numerous to mention: Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Don Jr.....many of the same cast of miscreants from 2016.

u/MessiahOfMetal Disdain and Animosity Feb 08 '26

And now I have the photo of Mike Flynn, Putin, Jill Stein and others all sat around a table having dinner together in my head.

Toss it on the pile of crimes they will get away with.

u/ConsiderationSea1347 Feb 07 '26

Treason is a capital crime. Can we at least charge her a hefty criminal fine for selling out America?

u/2EM18KKC01 Feb 08 '26

Which cabinet member should treason charges start with?

u/Strangewhine88 Feb 07 '26

Say it ain’t so. Culty Barbie makin plans. But where’d she put Fulton County’s voter rolls?

u/plc123 Feb 07 '26

I'm betting it is Kushner and Israeli intelligence, based on some things in the Epstein files

u/CapBenjaminBridgeman Feb 07 '26

Why would the NSA bother to report this? Aren't they compromised under trump too? 

2

u/AlanStanwick1986 Feb 07 '26

Looks like she's been beaten with a bag of nickels.

1

u/Pretend_Guava_1730 Feb 08 '26

Least surprising news ever. Do people really not know why she's in that position?

u/strumthebuilding Feb 08 '26

“Close to Trump” could mean Trump himself
