NYT Uses Anonymous Terrorist Sources For Latest Deep State Hit On Tulsi Gabbard

The New York Times is preparing to publish a deep state hit piece on President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The piece is purportedly based on National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance of a pair of anonymous terrorists.

Two people familiar with the matter told The Federalist the Times will accuse Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, of meeting with then-Lebanese Hezbollah Supreme Leader Hassan Nasrallah on a Middle East trip in 2017. The paper of “all the news that’s fit to print” is expected to run the deep state smear against Gabbard as early as Tuesday afternoon, two days before a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Bernard Hudson, who was director of counterterrorism at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 2016 and 2017, called the story by the Times, “one of the most bizarre allegations against a serving member of the U.S. military I have ever heard.”

“It strains credulity at every level,” Hudson told The Federalist.

“This is the kind of cheap skullduggery for which the Deep State has become infamous with the American people,” said Dave Reaboi, a national security expert and fellow at the Claremont Institute. “We entrust these people with tremendous power to operate in the shadows and keep secrets from us, imagining that they are professionals dedicated to safeguarding our national security. Instead, many of the IC’s senior leadership have undermined the faith we placed in them, using the capabilities their profession affords them to make war on their domestic political opponents.” (Read more from “NYT Uses Anonymous Terrorist Sources For Latest Deep State Hit On Tulsi Gabbard” HERE)
