Ex-CIA agent hits back at Tulsi Gabbard over Russia claims: ‘She doesn’t understand this’

A former CIA officer, Susan Miller, is pushing back against Tulsi Gabbard’s recent claims about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, calling her accusations against Barack Obama misinformed. Miller, who worked on the intelligence assessments at the time, argues Gabbard—now serving as Trump’s national intelligence director—doesn’t grasp how espionage operations actually work. It’s a clash between insider expertise and political rhetoric.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another political spat—it’s a rare public rebuke from an intelligence veteran toward a sitting official. With Gabbard’s controversial history and Trump’s reliance on her, the dispute reignites debates over how seriously to take foreign interference claims. It also highlights the tension between political appointees and career intelligence professionals, which could shape public trust in future assessments.
