“Otherwise, we can only assume that this is another politically motivated decision intended to create an atmosphere of fear, something that chills the ability of the Intelligence Community to do its job and protect national security.” .

Ranking Member Himes: “I’m grateful to Lt. Gen. Kruse for his decades of service and his strong history of apolitical engagement with the Intelligence Committee. If the Administration has cause to fire Director Kruse, they must provide that information to Congress immediately.”.

Ranking Member Jim Himes today wrote to @DNIGabbard and @CIADirector to question their recent decision to declassify and publicly release a series of highly classified documents regarding Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Ranking Member Jim Himes released a response to DNI Gabbard’s claims about Russian Interference in the 2016 Election. Read it here:

Ranking Member Himes: It’s appropriate that this shoddy and partisan report was released by Director Gabbard on the day that House Republicans are quite literally fleeing Washington, DC for six weeks rather than releasing the Epstein files that Trump is so desperate to cover up.

Democrats accuse Gabbard of illegal interference in IG office:. "The ICIG must remain independent of political influence, and we will continue to oppose any attempt to interfere with its work, or silence its conclusions.".

Today, Senior Congressional intelligence leaders @MarkWarner, @ChrisCoons, Jim Himes, and @BettyMcCollum04 sent a letter to @DNIGabbard objecting to her illegal interference in the independence of the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

RM Himes: The last time the WH forced the intelligence community to back up their political agenda without evidence, 4,400 service members lost their lives in Iraq in a war based on false pretenses. Trump, Rubio, and Gabbard are doing the same now by ignoring their own analysts.
