Senate Intel Panel Reportedly Considering HIDING Their Votes on Tulsi Gabbard from the American People Following News of Susan Collins’s Possible Opposition to Gabbard

The Senate Intel Committee 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. While he is not on the intel committee, this underscores further hesitation regarding some GOP senators to Gabbard.

Now, Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, who has close contacts on Capitol Hill, reports that the Senate Intel Committee may hide the vote tallies on Gabbard following Collins’ possible opposition.

If true, this would prove a despicable betrayal of the public trust.

Maybe their constituents should hide their votes from these US Senators during their next elections.

Trump Admin Ousts Left-Wing Biden Appointee Stacey Dixon From Key Intel Position Ahead Of Gabbard Hearings

A Biden appointee tapped for acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) no longer occupies the position, a source familiar confirmed to the Daily Caller.

The former Principal Deputy Director of DNI, Stacey Dixon, was picked by the Trump transition team to be acting DNI, according to Politico last week. Dixon was replaced by Lora Shiao to serve as acting DNI, according to the agency.

At the time of publication, the ODNI lists Shiao as acting DNI on its website.

This comes in the wake of reports that Gabbard’s nomination may be in jeopardy, and the Senate Intelligence Committee has two Republican members who could be swing votes — Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Indiana Sen. Todd Young, according to The Hill.

There are nine Republicans on the committee and eight Democrats, and she cannot afford to lose any Republican votes, the outlet noted. However, Gabbard’s spokeswoman, Alexa Henning, told The Hill that no GOP Senators are on record opposing her nomination.

Some Republican senators are advocating for a public vote on Gabbard’s nomination, Politico reported. A source familiar told the outlet that panel rules “do not allow for a public roll call of how each member voted.”

There were also unsubstantiated rumors circulating online that Dixon was attempting to prevent Gabbard’s appointment, The Post Millennial reported. However, it is unclear if this rumor led to her ousting.
