WSJ: “DNI is leading an administration-wide effort to hunt for proof of tampering in the [2020 election]”
Gabbard “has begun studying information about voting machines, analyzed data from swing states, and pursued theories [the election was stolen]…
particularly on foreign government interference.”
Gabbie has “regularly briefed Trump and Susie Wiles about her inquiry in recent months along with others involved in the investigation.”
“Others” included senior DOJ officials, Cleta Mitchell, and Kurt Olsen.
Gabbie shad also consulted with IC officials “about claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election.”
Gabbard “is expected to prepare a report on her work”
‘Gabbard’s office said the director of national intelligence “has a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities in our critical infrastructure and protecting against exploitation.”’
“DNI Gabbard has and will continue to take actions within her authorities, alongside our interagency partners, to support ensuring the integrity of our elections,”
“Gabbard has also been involved in a separate effort to promote allegations that President Barack Obama and senior officials in his administration manufactured a false conspiracy that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to undermine Trump’s first White House victory.”
Something to keep in mind, folks…
@DNIGabbard ‘s work on weaponization of intelligence in the 2016 election resulted in:
Disclosures
A Report
A Press Conference
Evidence production to DOJ
And…
CRIMINAL REFERRALS.
Also, an aside…
It always amuses me, and confounds me, that each political side will embrace foreign interference in the election their candidate lost but not in the one their candidate won.
Ugh.
People… there’s foreign interference in EVERY ELECTION! It’s just a matter of scale, impact, and the fidelity with which that interference is digested by the IC and communicated to the public.
🧵There have been a few interesting developments recently in the case of DOW Contractor Perez-Lugones, who stole classified intel, and WaPo's Hannah Natanson who published excerpts of that intel.
I'm going to detail them in this thread and in a new video.

For background, here is my previous thread on this case.
AG Pam Bondi has empowered the US Attorney for Eastern Missouri, Thomas Albus, as a Special Prosecutor for DOJ under 28 USC 515 and directed him to conduct voter fraud probes in all 94 US Districts.
His first overt move was to convince a magistrate judge in Fulton County to authorize a search warrant for their 2020 election records. The FBI executed that search warrant last week under the supervision of FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Why would the DNI be there? Well, according to the WSJ, she's been given a task: investigate foreign interference in recent elections—including 2020.
This means that components of both the DOJ and the ODNI are working on election fraud and foreign interference inquiries right now. Interesting!
🧵As we expected, or at least hoped for, Don Lemon and several others have been indicted for conspiring to and engaging in a disruption of a church service in St Paul, MN, back on January 18.
Clear violations of the clergy, staff, and parishioners 1A Rights and of the FACE Act

@AGPamBondi @USAO_EDMO According to a report in Bloomberg, @AGPamBondi used 28 USC 515 to give Albus the "authority to conduct voter fraud probes anywhere in the US"
He can "coordinate civil and criminal cases, including grand jury proceedings, in all 94 US attorney districts."
Indycar teams, services, safety crews, Marshall’s, transport teams, mechanics, parts suppliers, etc etc etc… all the thousands of people who are required in order to make an Indycar race safely and professionally take place made their plans for 2026 a year ago. Such an upheaval of those plans and a scramble to cram in a race to a calendar that was set many months ago is going to a) piss people off, b) give people severe headaches, c) increase expenditures, and d) set up the race for embarrassment and disarray.
And that’s before we even consider the track, driver and spectator safety, tv coverage plans, radio and timing setup up, the pit setup, hospitality, bathrooms, get approvals from the governing bodies and utilities, etc etc etc.
Indycar doing a race on the east coast, in or near DC?
That’s a fantastic idea!
Forcing a race to happen with only like seven months to plan it all out, get the budgets for it, build the paddock and track, account for all the safety concerns, etc etc.
