Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard isn’t messing around when it comes to leakers threatening national security. In a fiery exchange with Megyn Kelly, Gabbard called out those spilling secrets, bluntly stating they are “undermining our democracy.”

Handcuffs.

When Kelly pressed if handcuffs were the endgame for these leakers, Gabbard didn’t flinch, confirming, “That’s the goal.” This tough talk isn’t just for show. Since taking the helm as DNI under President Trump, Gabbard has been on the warpath against unauthorized disclosures that plagued previous administrations.
She’s already referred multiple cases to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, making it clear that the days of loose lips sinking ships without consequence are over. This aligns perfectly with the Trump administration’s broader push to plug leaks, underscored by the FBI recently dusting off polygraph tests to root out internal sources.
Gabbard has already shown she means business, previously booting over 100 intelligence officers caught in sexually explicit NSA chatrooms. Her message is clear: betray the public trust, and you’ll face the music. It looks like accountability is finally back on the menu in DC’s intelligence circles.
