I doubt that any of them trust Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard. The big question is how much control Putin has over Trump and whether enough Senators can stand up to them.

Canada here. I don't think anyone will trust her. AT all. The other five eyes countries will likely figure out ways to deal with the U.S. and that endangers you because some information may not be as forthcoming as it should.

They are very unhappy
America wont be cut off from all of 5 Eyes intel, but they won't be getting the really good stuff anymore.

if any are happy, something is seriously wrong

Seems to me one or more of them might be doing some of their own vetting. And maybe they will send along to the FBI and selected Senators what they uncover. At least, that's what I would do if I were one of the Five.

Tulsi is the apple of Putin's eye.

No allied intelligence agency will share intelligence with US if Gabbard is the head.

My hope and belief is that multiple of our Five Eyes allies have significant issues with Gabbard, for obvious and legitimate reasons. And if that’s what’s needed to deep six her nomination, I have only one word: Excellent.

You seriously think any of them will trust us no matter who he puts in there? Granted a known Russian asset is the worst but he can/will pick some incompetent idiot who doesn't know/give a shit about intelligence matters that would protect us or the other countries
