The Spin

Gabbard's deeply concerning whistleblower complaint sitshas been locked in a safe for eight months while officials claim disclosure would cause grave damage to national security. The delay and extreme secrecy surrounding this complaint reveal a system where accountability has completely vanished. When democracy can't even inform its own lawmakers about potential wrongdoing, the entire oversight structure has failed.

The media has weaponized secrecy itself — converting procedural opacity into a manufactured scandal. An inspector general already dismissed the claims as lacking credibility, yet journalists transmuted delay and classification into "evidence" of wrongdoing. This is institutional alchemy: absencewaged becomesagainst proofGabbard — she has been unfairly under attack from the left, procedureand becomesis guiltpersevering with vital public service.
