I’m Joel Willett. I joined the Army when I was 17 to keep this country safe. Did the same thing at the CIA. It was the honor of a lifetime to serve my country. Tulsi Gabbard just revoked my security clearance because she serves one man.
Having Tulsi Gabbard revoke your security clearance is like having a serial drunk driver revoke your driver’s license.
I left Twitter 2.5 years ago because of one crazy person (that’s you, Donald Trump), and I am back because of another (that's you, Tulsi).

1/4:Just to put this nonsense to complete rest: As an intelligence officer detailed to the White House, I listened to more of President Obama’s calls than I can honestly remember. It is the job of certain parts of the NSC to coordinate the calls and yes, make transcripts.
2/4:That’s why I joke around about having spoken to Angela Merkel, Bibi, Renzi, and Putin. The first voice those world leaders hear on head of state calls is often the voice of an intelligence officer or military person who keeps them occupied until POTUS comes to the line
3/4:POTUS also hear’s this person on the call as they introduce the leaders to each other. Then they shut up and take notes. Those notes are disseminated according to the lists required by the AP/NSA and then preserved in accordance with the presidential records act.
