"Very hard to see Gabbard disciplining the natsec apparatus (per paleo/Weird Right fantasy) in any way other than turning it into a personalist Trumpian political police.
She learned a lot growing up in her her dad’s authoritarian Hare Krishna spin-off sect and suddenly has a bigger stage to play on."
Willamette University US history professor Seth Cotlar added:
"That clipping sound you heard was all of our global allies cutting the cables that connect to the American intelligence network."
Georgia State University College of Law professor and political scientist Anthony Michael Kreis replied:
"Tulsi Gabbard as DNI? There’s not even a pretense of responsibility from Trump. We might as well just sign up to be a Russian client state."

@cdarwin Dear Five Eyes Members (and U.S. Intelligence Community Career Professionals who love our country):
Instead of ending intelligence sharing because the new administration will send everything straight to Putin, please tell me you're going to run a canary trap sting by giving the US carefully flawed information then burning both Putin and Trump when Russia acts on it.
Please tell me you're going to do that. Please. Or actually, don't tell me. Please just do that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap
