Mulvaney’s repeated lying about his on-camera confession shows a consciousness of guilt.

When he explicitly tied withholding the aid to investigations, Mulvaney added “get over it”, suggesting there was absolutely nothing wrong about it.
However, DOJ and Trump’s legal team swiftly distanced themselves from Mulvaney’s confession and he then tried to walk back his comments. Mulvaney knows the video and transcript show his explicit confession so he just goes with the Trump tactic of denying he ever did such a thing and blaming the media for allegedly misconstruing his statements.
 
Wait, people are really believing Tulsi is compromised by Russia?

come tf on, man.
Is she being blackmail or paid by Russia directly, probably not.

Is she soooooo trash that she is basically a Russian asset at this point, yes.

Anyway, no one should take her serious as a candidate, a foreign policy expert, and frankly I hope she loses her primary and leaves the Party.

She can go work for Fox News where she belongs. Again, she is trash.

russia like with Jill Stein before her, sees an opportunity to use the stupid to their advantage

im sure they didn’t think in their wildest dreams trump would actually win, but they saw an opportunity to F with the USA and creat headaches for those who do see the obvious threat that they are

it’s also why they use other mediums to push BS, like on Facebook
 
An examination of Tulsi Gabbard on foreign policy:

In the recent Democratic debate, Tulsi Gabbard described economic sanctions as a modern day siege and stated that she will end them.

When it comes to North-Korea however, she's all on board with strong sanctions in spite of the economic situation of people living in NK. In 2016, Gabbard had a secret meeting with Assad.

However, when it comes to ISIS in Syria, that is clearly not the case. Instead, she parrots the Assad-Russian talking point that the Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS are all terrorists. To be clear, some of the Kurdish groups do have links to terrorist organizations but they are by no means all terrorists. The whole point of using proxy forces in the first place is so they do the fighting for you.

When Russia joined the war in Syria at the request of Assad, Gabbard came out in support of the Russia's bombing and claimed the targets were all terrorists. Her view lined up perfectly with Assad and the Kremlin's talking points.

Tulsi also tried to whitewash the 2002 anti-muslim Gujarat riots, which resulted in at least 1000 deaths.
Modi declared that Pakistan's intelligence services were behind the riots. In the heat of the riots, Modi did nothing to prevent his own party from organizing a statewide 3 day strike that drastically increased the casualty rate.

Nearly 700 members of the diaspora representing several Indian-American organizations in Atlanta gathered at Shree Shakti Mandir on June 1, 2014 to celebrate the epoch-making 2014 Indian election victory of visionary leader, Shri Narendra Modi

In a 2016 interview, she praised Modi as an impressive person and a "leader whose example and dedication to the people he serves should be an inspiration to elected officials everywhere."

She had some pretty harsh words for Pakistan, however her response to India revoking the Kashmir region's autonomy, there was little to no criticism from her. Kashmir has a majority muslim population and president Modi's views and actions towards Indian muslims speak for themselves.
