As The Wall Street Journal recounted this week on social media, “A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.”
Note: According to the report, “Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with U.S. intelligence community’s watchdog office.”
U.S. Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) responded: “There is no classification too high for the chairmen and ranking members of the intelligence committees. Like 2019, this is another example of the Trump admin trying to break the whistleblower laws and cover up a serious complaint. Trump doesn’t learn from his past mistakes.”

Note: WSJ journalist Dustin Volz, who filed the story with C. Ryan Barber, added: “A Gabbard spox denies the allegations as ‘baseless and politically motivated’ and said she is working to figure out a secure way to transmit the highly sensitive complaint to lawmakers. It is likely only top very top lawmakers may be eligible to see it.”
Press Secretary for the Office of the DNI, Olivia Coleman, responded to the WSJ report by writing: “This is not true and is one of the most disgusting cases of clickbait I have ever seen. There was absolutely NO wrongdoing by DNI Gabbard, a fact that @WSJ conveniently buried 13 paragraphs down.”
Coleman added, “there was no delay in producing the ‘security guidance’ from DNI Gabbard, AND the Whistleblower’s complaint is with the Congressional Intelligence Committees for review.”
Coleman slammed the “Wall Street Journal’s false reporting” and also cited the same Journal reporting as corroboration that Gabbard had been cleared of wrongdoing by an Inspector General. Coleman wrote: “Even the Biden-era Intelligence Community Inspector General came to this conclusion, determining that the Whistleblower’s allegations against DNI Gabbard “did not appear credible.”
The detail Coleman referred to was pulled out — as shown below — by a commenter in support Gabbard.
I like how you shameless hacks bury the most important part at the VERY END:

Calling for the details alleged in the complaint to be made transparent to Congress, in addition to whatever vetting was reportedly done by the Inspector General, Democratic influencer Joanne Carducci replied to Coleman, “OK, so then let’s see it and have her testify in front of Congress about it. Makes sense to me.”
