The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation.

President Trump made clear this week that Tulsi Gabbard was back in his good graces.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Trump excoriated Ms. Gabbard, one of his top intelligence officials, over a video she filmed during a trip to Asia that he saw as self-promotional, and she was left out of some meetings in the lead-up to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to two people with knowledge of what happened.

But on Tuesday, at a White House event with congressional Republicans that Ms. Gabbard attended, he declared: “She’s, like, hotter than everybody. She’s the hottest one in the room right now.”

What changed? Last week, Ms. Gabbard launched a diversionary attack that relieved pressure on Mr. Trump from the never-ending Epstein file crisis, releasing documents, she claimed, that proved Obama administration officials engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy.”

Yet Ms. Gabbard’s effort to repair her standing with the president has placed the already embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi in a nearly untenable position.

Ms. Bondi was given little warning the director of national intelligence was about to demand she investigate one of Mr. Trump’s most longstanding grievances: claims without evidence that the Obama administration overstated Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election in order to undermine him.

Except that Tusli brought the receipts with her.  All that "baseless" talk just looks stupid now.

Yes, it puts Blondi in a tough spot, that's why we pay her the big bucks to be AG.  She had better perform.  And I don't buy the notion she was blind-sided.

The writer of that bit needs to read more than the NYT.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
