Tulsi Gabbard is suddenly trending again. But this time, it’s not about elections or speeches.

She has taken a serious step sending criminal referrals linked to the 2019 impeachment case.

[{"selector":"#anim-83f5dd46-ec13-4273-a61a-7c51b8e288f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1798eb10-66d7-4516-90e8-85d7e6704ef3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59b8de88-4d69-4f57-9c35-bd0001905cf5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-97cecdac-5a40-4df2-b71f-d902f7b5fbed","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 131.66962%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That case involved Donald Trump and a whistleblower complaint that shook the White House.

[{"selector":"#anim-2eda1ea4-277c-47b2-9430-8fdae0eb30fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b891c538-f68d-4ba3-8d91-e4f57b46dee4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af53c409-dbdc-438a-bfe0-7cf891366465","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8506b269-cccc-44c0-9d7f-00c2ec32f028","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 129.80324%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Now, years later, questions are being raised again. Was everything handled the way it should have been ?

[{"selector":"#anim-c23ccf59-5dd6-4f66-aa69-93ff8fd43223","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6731aa58-d70d-4751-9675-5298c235f60e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f7e345c5-befb-4057-a71f-c9bbd660e82e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c0417e4-e17e-4a53-87a6-74cabc755881","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 126.34489%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Gabbard claims the narrative behind the impeachment may have been flawed… and wants authorities to investigate further.

[{"selector":"#anim-ed6ebd42-dd13-4c52-b66b-4676a90e18dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5275f82a-890d-4b7c-9658-992ea731cc6e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -838.06921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b87f3b1-0920-4df6-a0fe-1529bedace65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e9546d2-2e08-4eac-b9b1-959e89913e36","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 125.89241%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Some people see this as uncovering the truth. Others believe it’s political retaliation.

Either way, it’s reopening a debate many thought was over.
