President Donald Trump ordered Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S.'s top intelligence official, to take part in the FBI's extraordinary raid on an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, last week, the New York Times reported citing U.S. officials. The Times' reporting undercuts the Department of Justice's (DOJ) public explanation that Gabbard's presence at the election hub during the search was essentially a matter of coincidence. Gabbard is the director of national intelligence, which makes her involvement in a county-level election issue highly unusual. The report also indicates that Trump is personally involved and heavily invested in the FBI's investigation into Fulton County, which has long been the top target of his multi-year, conspiracy theory-fueled campaign against the 2020 presidential election, which he lost.
Why is the DNI involved in an FBI raid of an election office for an election that has been counted and recounted and adjudicated multiple times?
Oh and why did Gabbard get President Piggy on the phone for a pep talk with the agents?
Could you imagine the uproar if Biden had sent Avril Haines to the mar a lago raid and then called her for a "pep talk" with the agents?
This is NOT NORMAL FOLKS!

... Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the U.S. intelligence services, in 2022 endorsed one of Russia's main justifications for invading Ukraine: the existence of dozens of U.S.-funded biolabs working on some of the world's nastiest pathogens.
Moscow claimed Ukraine was using the labs to create deadly bioweapons similar to COVID-19 that could be used against Russia, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin had no choice but to invade neighboring Ukraine to protect his country.
In fact, the labs are public and part of an international effort to control outbreaks and stop bioweapons.
Gabbard, a military veteran and a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, later said she wasn't accusing the United States or Ukraine of anything nefarious and was just voicing concerns about protecting the labs.
But to critics in the U.S., including lawmakers in both parties, the comments showed a disturbing willingness to parrot Russian propaganda -- a tendency that has earned Gabbard praise on Russian state TV. ...
Gabbard's office examined voting machines in Puerto Rico
www.nbcnews.com
... The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says it obtained and examined electronic voting machines in Puerto Rico last year to look for possible security vulnerabilities.
Authorities in Puerto Rico voluntarily handed over the equipment to ODNI, which wanted to evaluate the risk to the machinery given that "similar infrastructure is used throughout the United States," an ODNI spokesperson said in an email.
News of the move by the office overseen by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, follows President Donald Trump's calls to "nationalize" future elections and have the federal government "get involved" in some states where he says there is a risk of fraud.
Reuters first reported the ODNI's action in Puerto Rico. ...
