Tulsi Gabbard monitors raid by FBI on election office as she carries out, as she sees it, “President Trump’s directive to secure our elections and work with our interagency partners to do so.”

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) ono Wednesday shared Reuters’s photo of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard during the FBI’s search of 2020 voting records at the Fulton County, Ga., elections office, questioning why she was there.
“Why is Tulsi Gabbard at an FBI raid on an election office in Fulton County?” Warner asked in a post on the social platform X, which included a video.
Reuters photographer Elijah Nouvelage captured the photo of Gabbard wearing a baseball cap and talking into a smartphone while next to a vehicle loaded with boxes, her eyes turned toward the camera.
Warner said there were two explanations for why Gabbard would be at the election offices.
“Either Director Gabbard believes there was a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus — in which case she is in clear violation of her obligation under the law to keep the intelligence committees ‘fully and currently informed’ of relevant national security concerns — or she is once again demonstrating her utter lack of fitness for the office that she holds by injecting the nonpartisan intelligence community she is supposed to be leading into a domestic political stunt designed to legitimize conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy,” he wrote in a response to his first post.

“We don’t know why they took them, and we don’t know where they’re taking them to,” county Board of Commissioners Chair Robb Pitts said.
Fulton County played a pivotal role following President Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) indicted Trump on racketeering charges in 2023 for allegedly conspiring to subvert the election results and win Georgia to stay in office. The case was dropped in 2025 ahead of the president’s return to the White House and after Willis was disqualified from the case.
Trump administration admits DOGE accessed personal Social Security data
What Happened: Court filings show operatives of Elon Musk’s DOGE at the Social Security Administration may have improperly accessed and shared sensitive data, including potential voter roll matching, after secret communications with an election overturning advocacy group. DOJ disclosures cite unapproved servers, continued access after court orders, and possible unauthorized data transmission.
Why It Matters: Federal data systems are being pulled into partisan election operations. When Social Security records are repurposed for political targeting, the line between governance and surveillance disappears.Source: Washington Post
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
