Noting that Department of Justice investigators are busy working in his “backyard” of Florida on election theft conspiracy theories promoted by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, former state attorney of Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg told the hosts of “Morning Joe” it will end in embarrassment for all involved.Brought on to discuss Gabbard’s efforts to get a whistleblower criminally charged for informing on Donald Trump, Aronberg claimed there is little value in the conspiracy theory Gabbard is pushing and, should the DOJ follow her lead, the cases will fall apart quickly.Speaking with co-host Jonathan Lemire, the attorney laughed at Gabbard, claiming her only real goal is to avoid being fired by Donald Trump.“Jonathan, this is Tulsi Gabbard trying to stay in President Trump's good graces,” Aronberg remarked.
“Remember, she had contradicted him on the Iranian nuclear threat. She's always been a MAGA outsider. Remember, she ran for president as a Democrat in 2016, was critical of Donald Trump then. And so now after the firings of Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi...”She knows that she's one more controversy away from getting a Truth Social post, wishing her well in her future endeavors,” he added with a laugh.Pointing out that the whistleblower case she is pressing “will get a prosecutor laughed out of court,” he later added, “She's been accused of covering up a whistleblower complaint relating to the intercept of a phone call between two foreign nationals who discussed someone close to Trump, but that's not hurting her with the president.”“Trump badly wants his enemies locked up, so Gabbard is winning points for effort,” he noted. “So as far as what you mentioned, nothing has come of her accusations of a treasonous conspiracy. But prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, in my backyard, are investigating those allegations. And if the rhetoric leads to a prosecution, it will quickly meet the fate of the [NY AG] Letitia James and [former FBI Director] James Comey cases –– quick dismissals and egg on the faces of everyone involved.” - YouTube youtu.be
