Here is their piece from yesterday.
I have never dissented before, but today I do. They write that “others suggest” that Tulsi Gabbard might be a Russian asset.
My first note is that the left has called everybody they don’t like, most notably Trump himself, a “Russian asset.” The trope is totally worn out. Don’t use it.
Second, it is extremely hard to believe that an Iraq war veteran, somebody who gave up her seat in congress as a matter of principle, could be bought.
That’s two issues. First, the claim itself is hard to believe. Second, the prudence of even mentioning such a claim is suspect. Don’t do it.

I agree. I don't share Gabbard's stance on the war. I think she's wrong in this instance, but I don't believe that she is a Russian asset, except in the sense that she opposes support for Ukraine. Otherwise, she is a good choice for the head of US intelligence. In fact, I listened to several of her speeches after the nomination and I truly like her positions. I think she may end up curbing the spying on US citizens by their own government, the routine surveillance of everything written and said online. I believe she may be part of the entire program to reduce government interference in our lives.
