DNI Tulsi Gabbard just pulled a classified memo out of the intelligence community’s vault that says U.S. spy agencies flagged serious vulnerabilities in the 2020 election system — vulnerabilities far worse than anything the public was ever told about. The memo was written before the election, buried during the election, and sat in a locked drawer through the entire Biden presidency while every talking head in Washington told you the 2020 election was the “most secure in American history.”
Oops! Turns out the people saying “nothing to see here” had a memo on their desk that said “actually, there’s a LOT to see here.” Awkward!
We need to be very precise about what happened, because the media is already trying to spin this into a nothingburger. U.S. intelligence agencies — the same ones who spent four years telling you that questioning the 2020 election made you a domestic terrorist — identified major vulnerabilities in the election infrastructure. Not minor quibbles. Not hypothetical concerns. Major. Vulnerabilities. The kind you write memos about and send up the chain.
And then? They buried the memo.
They didn’t share it with the public. They didn’t brief state election officials. They didn’t hold a press conference. They stuffed it in a classified folder and went on CNN to call anyone who had questions about election security a “conspiracy theorist” and a “threat to democracy.”
(You know, the people who were right the whole time. Us.)
Gabbard — who, reminder, the establishment tried to destroy when she was a Democrat because she dared to think for herself — declassified the memo over the weekend. Just pulled it right out into the sunlight. And suddenly every “fact-checker” who spent 2020 through 2024 slapping “FALSE” labels on election security concerns is scrambling to explain why the intelligence community’s own assessment matches what we were saying all along.
Pop quiz: If the election was so secure, why did they have to hide the memo that said it wasn’t?
That’s the question nobody on the left wants to answer. Because the answer is obvious. They knew. They knew the system had holes. They knew there were vulnerabilities that could be exploited. And they made a conscious decision to bury that information because it didn’t fit the narrative they were building — the narrative where Joe Biden won a flawless election and anyone who disagreed was basically an insurrectionist.
Remember the parade of “experts” who signed that letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation”? Same playbook. Same people. Same strategy: classify it, deny it, smear anyone who asks about it, and then act shocked when the truth comes out five years later.
The intelligence community turned itself into the communications department of the Democratic Party. Full stop. They didn’t protect election integrity — they protected a political outcome. And now their own paperwork proves it.
Here’s what makes Gabbard so effective in this role. She’s not a lifelong Republican that the media can dismiss as “partisan.” She’s a former Democrat, a combat veteran, and someone who left the party specifically because she saw how corrupt it had become from the inside. When she holds up a declassified memo and says “they lied to you,” it hits different than when a GOP senator says it. The left can’t use their usual playbook against her because she used to be one of them.
So where does this go from here? Congressional investigations would be a nice start. The American people deserve to know exactly who decided to classify this memo, who made the call to keep it hidden, and whether anyone in the Biden White House actively worked to suppress it. Names. Dates. Emails. All of it.
Because we spent four years being told we were crazy. We spent four years being censored on social media, flagged by the FBI, and called enemies of democracy — for asking questions that the intelligence community’s own analysts had already answered.
They just didn’t want us to see the answers.
Well, we see them now. And the “most secure election in history” crowd has about 48 hours before this becomes the only story anyone is talking about. Might want to start working on those apologies — though we won’t be holding our breath.
