Bolton Calls For FBI Probes Into Gaetz And Gabbard

The Hill reports:

“I don’t think either she [Tulsi Gabbard] or Matt Gaetz ought to have a confirmation hearing until they have both had full field FBI investigations,” John Bolton told NewsNation anchor Blake Burman. “And then I think the Chinese would say, ‘Maybe they are serious.’”

When Burman clarified, asking whether Bolton was calling for Gabbard to be investigated, Bolton said, “I think so,” adding, “Given the Russian propaganda that she has espoused over the past period of time, I think she’s a serious threat to our national security.”

“With his announcement of Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence, he’s sending a signal that we have lost our mind when it comes to collecting intelligence,” Bolton said when asked about the message he thinks Trump is trying to send to China.
