In the eyes of most of his supporters, President Donald Trump selected nothing less than a rock star lineup of nominees to fill his Cabinet and administration.

One of those is former lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party last year to join the Republican Party. She was selected by Trump as his director of national intelligence, and she's receiving a mountain of support for the job. 

According to Fox News, dozens of high-level former intel officials have urged the Senate to confirm Gabbard as Trump's DNI, lending their full endorsements.

A full list of former intel officials wrote a letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) in support of her successful confirmation.

What did they say?

The former intel officials stressed that Gabbard is the right person for the job, as she'll help to undo the "gross politicization" that has plagued America's intelligence agencies throughout the Biden years.

"We, the undersigned former intelligence and national security officials, urge members of the United States Senate to confirm Tulsi Gabbard to serve as President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence," they wrote.

The intel officials added, "Her service as DNI will begin undoing the gross politicization that has come to characterize intelligence bureaucracies, which has been to the great detriment of the freedom and security of the United States and its citizens."

They pointed out her longstanding service in the U.S. military, and said combined with her experience as a lawmaker, she's has the perfect level of experience for the position.

"In both these roles, she experienced first-hand how intelligence, when used as intended, provides critical support to America’s military and political leaders," they wrote.

"When intelligence was abused, Lt. Col. Gabbard spoke up and insisted on safeguards."

Heaping praise

While Gabbard has come under fire from some, especially Democrats, regarding her experience in the intelligence world, the former intel officials doubled down on their bet that she's the right fit.

Fox News noted:

But allies of Gabbard have defended her record, and said it is critical that someone with "fresh eyes" and "without bias" lead the intelligence community. They also have argued that Gabbard knows, firsthand, the consequences of inaccurate intelligence, given her service in the War on Terror.

A source close to the confirmation process reportedly told Fox News, "It is a strength, not a weakness, that she doesn't have direct prior intel agency experience."

Many expect that Gabbard will ultimately be confirmed, though it may come with some level of fireworks during her hearing.
