Gabbard backs Trump after intelligence official resigns over Iran war

6. Joe Kent Investigation

There once was a figure named Kent,
Whose sudden departure seemed bent
On protesting war,
Yet rumors galore
Said leaks were the cause of his vent.

The Bureau began to inquire,
If secrets he’d dared to acquire,
And quietly spread,
Through channels unsaid,
Setting Washington chatter on fire.

Some whispered the timing was strange,
That power was flexed for political range,
With justice deployed,
At foes to be toyed,
And motives too murky to gauge.

A source said, “He left in a rush,
But months we had watched him, hush-hush.
He’ll claim it’s revenge,
A retaliate binge—
But truth is, he fled from the crush.”

Yet both things could equally stand,
A protest and probe close at hand,
He might disagree,
And still guilty be,
In a tangled, uncertain command.

Joe warned on a broadcast one night,
“They’ll come to discredit me—right?
The way that I’ve gone,
Won’t sit well for long,
They’ll answer my stand with a fight.”

Meanwhile, the questions grew dire,
On threats and the march toward the fire,
When asked to be clear,
What danger was near,
The answers climbed higher and higher.

“The president solely must choose
What threats we define or refuse,”
Came testimony,
Vague as can be,
Leaving lawmakers openly confused.

One senator pushed back with force,
Said duty must follow its course,
“To measure the threat
Is your job, and yet
You’re dodging the question, of course.”
