It's about intent. Their intent is to delay and to sabotage progress.

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Tulsi Gabbard

You know that right?
How dare she change her mind... DNC is the party of the good guys and party of angels... they can't do no wrong... Trump grabs women by their pussies...Pete Hegseth cheated on his wife blah blah blah.... if Trump did all these you lefties will be outraged.
I don't think he is on the committee, so it would have to be on the floor.
Which means less chance of him talking about why or why not he supports her.
I think it would depend a lot on how you define "integrity".
Again, what would be interesting would be for Sanders to explain his support or opposition.
Vetting materials might result in bad things being uncovered.
Therefore it is unfair to ask Trump nominees to provide them.
Trump tried to skip all of that (and even the Senate voting at all), which delayed things.
Some Trump nominees face confirmation delays with ethics and background checks behind schedule
Lawmakers are demanding Senate Republicans not move forward without full vetting, a process delayed by Trump's transition foot-dragging.

Trump demands Senate bypass votes to confirm appointees
Under the US Constitution, the Senate must vote to approve nominations made by the president for senior executive positions, such as cabinet posts and judicial appointments. A constitutional clause, however, allows for presidents to bypass a Senate vote if the chamber is in an extended recess.

Trump’s Nominees May Try to Skip Required Ethics Reviews
If the materials are required for vetting and not being turned over then it would seem the GOP are the ones delaying things and playing games.
If only the Dems were as critical of proper vetting at the border....
But they would rather focus on someone who already has security clearance, already completed a background check and submitted most of the paperwork.
And you think the Dems aren't trying everything to cause delays and sabotage progress? hahahaha that's funny!
When trump nominates an incompetent person that is a risk to such a critical position in the Government as it could compromise the security of all Americans then The Democrats are correct to get to the bottom of her meetings with Assad and her relationships with the likes of the Russians!!
Republicans have also done the same to less controversial appointments during The Obama and Biden eras. When the shoe is on the other foot as usual it is a "Yawn" to the right lies!!
She already has security clearance and submitted most of the paperwork.
Do you think the remaining form she needs to submit has anything to do with judging her for anything? Do you think the remaining form is the dealbreaker for whether she's qualified for that role?
They are desperately trying to sabotage and delay. It's the only thing they have left.
You would have to be an idiot not to see that.
I guess it turns out that nominees for senior cabinet positions have to submit ALL of the paperwork…not just most of it. That wouldn’t cut it if she was applying for her passport or drivers license…how can she be trusted to run a major government agency when she can’t even fill in the correct forms?
Plus…What is she trying to hide on the forms she has not submitted? I’m not saying she is actually hiding anything…I’m just asking questions.
If she already has security clearance then she has nothing to hide. To obtain that clearance would require significant vetting just for that.
This is a Dem tactic and nothing else.
Probably nothing.
The paperwork is delayed because Trump insisted he didn't need to have his nominees approved by the Senate or be vetted.
He lost that push, but it slowed everything down.
I don't think this is a case of Gabbard, specifically, hiding paperwork.
This is a case of Trump, on principle, trying to prove that no one is allowed to question him or check him.
He knows he will always have people like Skoob willing to support him breaking rules and laws.
Like firing the IGs yesterday.
He is supposed to submit a statement to congress 30 days in advance explaining why he is firing an IG.
He didn't.
Probably not due to some nefarious reason for the firing - he just doesn't think the rules apply to him and he wants Congress to know that.
When Convicted Felon Trump's own former members of staff like Bolton are condemning her past record for the manner in which visited Syria to have multiple meetings with Assad and then praising him for his rule, especially when he gassed his own people on numerous occasions. She was also notorious for parroting The Russian "Biolabs" Conspiracy theory in order to sway the opinion against Ukraine in their war with Russia!!
Stop your illiterate name calling scoob!!
Nope...paperwork.
Just another case of a former Democrat being attacked and bullied by the same party that used to cherish her.
The Jan. 30 hearing comes after Democrats resisted the scheduling of an earlier hearing, saying they still didn’t have the full slate of background checks, ethics disclosures and paperwork on a candidate whose overall qualifications have sparked their concern.

Sen. John Barrasso said Sunday that the confirmation hearing for Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for director of national intelligence, is being held up by "a paperwork problem" with the Office of Government Ethics.

btw Tulsi Gabbard met with Assad in 2017 when she was a member of the Democrat party. Where was your outrage then?
The paperwork is important. She is applying for a senior cabinet position that directly affects national security. If it was a Dem nominee you would not be this dismissive of the vetting process.
Yes…Dems have been complaining about this for weeks while Tulsi and the GOP have refused to complete the required documents.
You know what would solve this problem? Filling in the required forms.
Tulsi is either incompetent or she is trying to hide something. I wouldn’t be able to cross the border to watch a Sabres game if I didn’t have my documents in order but you guys all wanna give Tulsi a free pass? smh
Same place it is now.
From my read, it isn't her holding up the paperwork, but government depts with in charge of the checks.
So perhaps the question is why are they not supplying the necessary things.
Gabbard became a controversial person and caused alarms in both Republican and Democratic Party over the manner in which she visited Syria and meeting Assad on three separate occasions. She did not inform the House about these meetings and even her own staff were not fully aware of her scheduled meetings. But during the 2020 nomination process is where she fell out with the Democrats and with Hillary Clinton in particular. They both attacked one another. But remember that this position as Director of National Intelligence is a cause for concern due to her support once again for the Russian backed Conspiracy Theories that I already posted. We know that the Republicans also have their concerns about this pick, but just do not have the balls to speak out against it. No doubt McConnell and maybe two other Republicans will vote against her nomination!!
Tulsi Gabbard Confirmation: Senate Approves Gabbard As Trump’s Spy Chief—McConnell Lone GOP ‘No’ Vote
After Gabbard faced a public questioning, she passed votes in the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senate.

From the article above:
I dunno…I suspect she will get through in the end.
Russian backed conspiracy theories, lol...My word, lol
And she fell out of favour with the Dems when she exposed Kamala Harris during the DNC debate. You seemed to skip over that one...Just like your news sources have a habit of.

All depends on Collins and Murkowski voting with the Democrats. But you are right as Lindsey Graham will not break ranks with Trump. He will rather crap his pants than get on Trump'sbad books.

You forgot about the "25+ US Funded Biolabs" in Ukraine Conspiracy Theory, that she was supposed to have "revealed".............Really??
Well Gabbard made some gaffes while in Syria such as:
Conspiracy theories and cosying up to dictators: why intelligence experts are spooked by Tulsi Gabbard
Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence has long been regarded as dangerous for her Syria contacts and stance on Ukraine
www.theguardian.com
Not everything from Gabbard during the debate against Harris was true. But can she be fully trusted for one of the most critical positions in the cabinet, based on these conspiracy theories and misinformation from her as well?
