The GOP-controlled Senate may be poised to sink Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) without an outside soul knowing how they voted.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Susan Collins (RINO-ME) may derail Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI due to concerns about Gabbard’s stance on Section 702 of the FISA which gives government permission to spy on supposed foreign targets without a warrant.
Gabbard previously proposed legislation to repeal section 702 due to the government violating the Fourth Amendment by abusing the warrantless spying program to spy on American citizens. She has since tried to reassure senators on the matter.
As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Collins holds considerable power. Gabbard cannot afford to lose one GOP defector since the vote is split along party lines at 9-8.
In addition to Collins, Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) is reportedly lukewarm on Gabbard due to her previously visiting Syria and calling for charges to be dropped against National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
Now, Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, who has close contacts on Capitol Hill, reports that the Senate may hide the vote tallies on Gabbard following Collins’ possible opposition.
If true, this would prove a despicable betrayal of the public trust.
I’m told that the vote for Tulsi Gabbard might be done privately in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), – with the vote tallies kept secret from the American people,” Kirk wrote.
“This is outrageous and wrong,” he added. “The American people deserve to know how THEIR Senators vote on Trump’s nominees!”

In addition to throwing Gabbard to the wolves, this possible cowardly move would constitute knifing President Trump in the back despite him achieving a historic mandate just over two months ago.
Call your Senators to demand they hold a PUBLIC vote on Gabbard, otherwise, assume they all secretly oppose her due to their commitment to protecting Deep State bureaucrats.
