An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Resignation of DNI Gabbard for Compromising National Security

61 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

I am writing to express my grave concern over the recent actions of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and to demand her immediate resignation. The disclosure of an undercover CIA officer's name on a list of individuals stripped of security clearances is an egregious breach of national security protocols that cannot be tolerated. This irresponsible act has not only jeopardized the safety of a veteran CIA analyst but has also sent shockwaves through the intelligence community, undermining the trust and security upon which our national defense relies. The disclosed officer had recently been involved in preparations for a summit between President Trump and Russian President Putin, making this breach particularly sensitive and potentially damaging to international relations. The tension between DNI Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe appears to be at the heart of this issue. However, inter-agency conflicts should never result in the compromise of classified information or the exposure of covert operatives. This action suggests that Director Gabbard may be prioritizing personal political maneuvering over the safety and security of our nation's intelligence apparatus. Furthermore, this incident is part of a broader pattern of concerning behavior, including ongoing disputes over the declassification of documents related to Russian election interference. Such actions risk politicizing our intelligence agencies and eroding their effectiveness in safeguarding our national interests. I urge you to take immediate action to address this critical situation. Call for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this disclosure and demand accountability at the highest levels. The integrity of our intelligence community and the safety of its operatives must be paramount, transcending any individual's political aspirations or inter-agency rivalries. Director Gabbard's position requires the utmost discretion and judgment. Her failure to uphold these standards has compromised national security and demonstrated her unfitness for this crucial role. For the sake of our nation's security and the preservation of our intelligence capabilities, I strongly urge you to demand Director Gabbard's immediate resignation and to support measures that will prevent such dangerous disclosures in the future.
