Gabbard's FBI file won't help much on her trip to Syria. That would be someone else's role. Remember that Gabbard (LTC-USA) almost certainly has a Top Secret clearance since she recently deployed with a SOTF. Would her trips to Syria have raised some flags? Although she's in the National Guard, she would be up for periodic re-investigations every 7 years.
The better question is this: How on earth did she keep her commission, considering all of her comments? Why didn't Army Counterintelligence investigate her? That's the real question.
In short, the FBI would focus on her CI threat at home, so maybe there's something there. While they routinely have agents in Embassies, they don't tend to work on CI. Instead, it's other various criminal activities (guns, drugs, etc)

Did they vet these guys at all before they put their names out?
"Why didn't Army Counterintelligence investigate her?"
Is it possible that they did? Maybe it's ongoing?
