Now that Assad is gone, the opening of the Syrian "Stasi" files may reveal a few surprises. The US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is a person to whom the heads of all the (13, or is it 16) US intelligence agencies report. Trump recently nominated former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii for the post. The intelligence community is not happy. Neither are many in Congress.

She is best described as an odd duck. She met Assad in Syria in 2012, and since then has been the only US politician to publicly defend him. She introduced legislation (that went nowhere) very favorable to Assad. She and her parents were/are devotees of a new Hawaii originating religion called The Science of Identity Foundation. Seems it's a split-off from Hare Krishna. Needless to say USINT is eager to see those "Stasi" files.
