Well all I know is she is a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Military and they have Top secret security level clearance. So she would not have such clearance if there was a problem and therefore she would have no problem with any position regarding national security.
Repeating Russian propaganda does not constitute a security risk - unless the person doing so is in a position to influence policy. A Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserve has no power to dictate policy. The DNI, on the other hand...
I think the Left just don't learn. They spent the entire election making up false allegations and it backfired on them. Now they are doing the same. So far every pick has been attacked and they are spreading lies again. Its only going to turn people off them and further alienates them as undermining democracy.
The facts about Gabbard are public knowledge. She's frequently echoed talking points from Russian state media, and she's had meetings with Bashr al Assad of Syria, where she's come out defending him against accusations of genocide. Those don't indicate a person who is materially compromised, but they're things that I find concerning for someone angling to be the director of all US intelligence agencies.

Hum the way people are talking its like she is doing dirty deals behind closed doors with the enermy. This is rediculous. She has fought for the US and will defend it to her death.

I think its not only wrong that these accusations are being pushed now when everyone has accepted that she is secure enough to know national top secrets for years and nothing has happened.

It just smells like all the other false and dirty tricks the Left have been playing for years now. Like they Hillary did with Trump and Russian collusion and all that false narrative.

What I find strange is that the Left who are making these claims about national security and bias have a clear history or denying the truth in positions of authority. We hear then outright deny objective reality in Trans issues. We hear them make up fabrications about inherent racsim in all whites.

We see them sneek in their ideology into education and corrupt little childrens minds. We see them allow open borders because they secretly believe in the incoherency of no boarders.

This is the current and present danger happening and not some ficticious take over or compromise that will happen with Trump and his team that has not even entered government yet.

Theirs a saying "Funny how we see ourselves in others". Thats true for the Left. Everything they are claiming about Trump is actually a projection of themselves in reality.

Heck they don't even hide it now. Goveners of Leftist States are openly coming out and saying they will defy the Federal government even with insurrection. They have openly called for taking Trump out and have actively used government power to persue political oppenents.

All we are seeing now is the last death kicks of a now defunked ideology that is trying to make a last ditch effort to undermine the constitution and democracy.

A good employee won't say much about their personal opinions in an interview, especially if they think that their potential employer might not agree with them. No one should ever ask someone to be a reference if they're not able to give a glowing review. And previous employers, if they're professional, won't say anything about your personal beliefs and opinions unless they affect your ability to do the job. Most employers will only say whether or not you're eligible to be re-hired.

...which is even more true of Sr. Military officers.

The topic of this thread is Trump is allegedly proposing to implement a board that would screen senior military officers for loyalty to him. It's not the "Left" or anyone else proposing this garbage.

But its the Left and Leftist media who have been making these allegations and attacks on the people Trump is proposing as his team.

The creation of a separate review process reporting directly to Trump that is outside of the existing job performance system could impose a chilling loyalty test -- not to the Constitution or military code, but to a president known for prioritizing personal loyalty, currently serving generals and defense officials interviewed say.
Not just for the military any more.

Loyalty tests and MAGA checks: Inside the Trump White House’s intense screening of job-seekers

Those seeking jobs have been told they will have to prove their “enthusiasm” to enact Trump’s agenda and have been asked when their moment of “MAGA revelation” occurred.

That's my one sentence for an AP story, but read further to see the phrase "MAGA commissar" used in context.

That's right. And who gets to use which bathroom is much more important than any foreign policy issues.

Yeah... but I think we can fit in a couple of other issues. FP is important, but so is shoplifting and holding up traffic. All we need is the resolve to deal with it. It takes all of 20 seconds to tell a protester to get out of the road, or you will be arrested. Even less to put up a sign that says, "Biological females only in the Women's room." Boom! Done. :)
