CURRENT EVENTS - FEBRUARY 2026

 A cloak-and-dagger mystery reminiscent of a John le CarrĂ© novel is swirling around the complaint, which is said to be locked in a safe. Disclosure of its contents could cause “grave damage to national security,” one official said. It also implicates another federal agency beyond Gabbard’s, and raises potential claims of executive privilege that may involve the White House, officials said.

The complaint was filed last May with the intelligence community’s inspector general, according to a November letter that the whistleblower’s lawyer addressed to Gabbard. The letter, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, accused Gabbard’s office of hindering the dissemination of the complaint to lawmakers by failing to provide necessary security guidance on how to do so.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Gabbard’s office confirmed that the complaint concerned Gabbard but dismissed it as “baseless and politically motivated.”

The whistleblower’s lawyer, Andrew Bakaj, and Gabbard’s office also disagreed on whether the inspector general had made any determinations about the credibility of the complaint. A representative for the inspector general said the office had determined specific allegations against Gabbard weren’t credible, while it couldn’t reach a determination on others. Bakaj said he was never informed that any determinations were reached.

So freaking annoying. I remember reading The Corner on NRO back in the day when the Jonah Goldberg-Mark Levin split was happening. McCarthy had a huge voice back then. If he had the balls to say things like this in 2014 and 2015, maybe things could have turned out differently.
