Gabbard's office warns attorney against sharing classified complaint with Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) The general counsel for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday warned the attorney for an anonymous government employee not to directly share a top-secret complaint about Gabbards handling of classified material with members of Congress.
The letter to attorney Andrew Bakaj is the latest escalation in the back-and-forth accusations over the classified complaint, which alleges that Gabbard withheld top-secret material for political reasons.
Two inspectors general for the intelligence community reviewed the claim and found that particular allegation did not appear to be credible. Gabbard has denied any wrongdoing and said she did all she could to ensure the report reached Congress.
Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees have blasted Gabbards office over the handling of the complaint, questioning why it took eight months for it to be sent to select members of Congress as required by law.

I'd rather Congress see it than Putin patsy Gabbard.
