Title: Senate Intelligence Committee Will Hold Gabbard Nomination Vote In Secret
Post by: JohnyMac on January 28, 2025, 12:27:04 PM

I just learned that the Senate Intelligence Committee (SIC) will hold Tulsi Gabbards interview and nomination vote in secret.

Quote

The panel's Jan. 20 vote on CIA Director John Ratcliffe was kept closed, with only the 14-3 tally released. Three committee members, Democratic Sens. Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.) ultimately opposed him on the floor. Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/27/tulsi-gabbard-senate-intelligence-committee-vote-006977)

Should it be made public or not is certainly worth discussion as Trump has been pushing for transparency in all branches of government.

The only person that can change this is SIC Chair Tom Cotton and Senators supporting him. Here (https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/) is a link to the senators who serve on that committee. If you would like to make this nomination vote public, let your voice be known.

As a side note, the reason that Pete Hegseth won the finish line was because of you. The folks who let their Senators know they wanted Hegseth.

At least a portion of her hearing should be public.  But I suspect a significant part requires closed doors.

Agreed Nemo. The vote though should be made public. No secrets there.

Any Republicans that vote against her should be primaried. It?s about time Republicans show some fortitude and support Trump.

And RFK is confirmed by the full Senate, 52 to 48. 

Not sure but I think it was Mitch McConnell who turned coat.
