- Gabbard Sat on a Complaint Against Herself for Eight Months
- Description
- A whistleblower complaint alleging wrongdoing by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was filed in May. By law, it should have reached Congress within 21 days. It took eight months, arriving only after a Wall Street Journal report forced the issue, and even then in redacted form, with the administration now invoking executive privilege to withhold more. Gabbard calls the delay a "blatant lie" by her critics. But the law doesn't have a carve-out for "the complaint was about me, so I get to sit on it." When the person a complaint accuses is also the person controlling whether Congress ever sees it, that isn't oversight — it's the appearance of oversight, staged for as long as she can get away with it.
