According to sources within the White House, the explanation for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's presence at a recent FBI raid on a Georgia election office has undergone multiple revisions. The latest iteration comes as President Donald Trump once again attempted to deflect blame.
Initially, it was reported that Gabbard had been at the scene to observe the search, citing her role as Director of National Intelligence. However, in subsequent statements, the White House clarified that Gabbard's primary purpose was to conduct a review of security protocols for future election offices.
This revised explanation has raised eyebrows among those familiar with the raid, who point out that Gabbard is unlikely to have been privy to such sensitive information without prior clearance. Furthermore, the timing of her visit has also sparked scrutiny, given that the FBI's search was conducted just days after a contentious midterm election in Georgia.
Critics are accusing the White House of attempting to downplay its involvement in the raid and shift the focus away from President Trump's administration's handling of election security. As the investigation into the seizure of 2020 ballots continues, the shifting explanations surrounding Gabbard's presence have only added to the sense of confusion and disarray within the White House.

so like what's going on here? first they say Tulsi was just observing, but then suddenly it's all about security protocols... sounds fishy to me 
, i mean even if that was true wouldnt she need clearance 2 check on that kinda thing? and whats with the timing? election just happened, dont think the White House is trying 2 make us forget 
. I mean, on one hand, Tulsi Gabbard is like super clear about her role as Director of National Intelligence and she's just there to review security protocols... but then again, who wouldn't want to deflect blame when they're getting roasted for their handling of election security? 
And I'm not buying that she was totally oblivious to what was going down, especially since it happened right after a major election. It's like the White House is trying to spin this thing into something more innocent than it probably is 
.
I think the White House is actually trying to be super transparent about what was going on with Tulsi Gabbard at that FBI raid 
And it's not like she's some kind of insider or anything... she's the Director of National Intelligence, right? 
The whole thing is just a big misunderstanding 
. The real issue here is that the midterm election was just days ago... maybe everyone needs a break from politics for a bit 
?
. I mean, I know everyone's got a role to play in this stuff, but it seems like the White House is trying to spin this one for all it's worth 
. And can we talk about the timing of her visit? Like, what are the chances that she just happens to be there days after an election when some ballots go missing? It's suspicious, you know? 
I'm not saying Trump's administration did anything wrong, but at least let's have a straight answer for once 
.
. We deserve better than that, especially when our democracy is on the line 
.
. I'm sure there's more to this story than we're being told...
. The whole thing feels like a big conspiracy theory waiting to happen 
. And can we please get some clarity on what really went down? It's getting old trying to piece together the truth 
. her role as Director of National Intelligence is basically top secret, right? 
no way she's going to be privy to that info without proper clearance 
. also, timing is everything here - raid happens just days after midterm election in GA... looks like White House trying to deflect blame from Trump admin 
. stats show 71% of Americans believe election security is a major issue 
. and what's up with all these revisions? charting the decline of trust in gov: 
2023: 55% trust, 
2024: 52%, 
. FBI's investigation into seized ballots is still ongoing... 
and now they're tryin to say she had clearance or whatever 
and btw, isn't this raid kinda suspicious given it was just days after that midterm election? 
seems like they're tryin to sweep somethin under the rug...
