Former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as the Director of National Intelligence is in trouble.** Lawmakers grilled her during the confirmation hearing, focusing on her views about Edward Snowden. While Gabbard admits Snowden 'broke the law', she stopped short of calling him a traitor, which has upset both Democratic and Republican senators. This opposition may jeopardize her nomination, even though she has support from some hard-right Republicans and Bernie Sanders.">")
