(8,556 posts)Instead, its that years before just 49 senators of the 116th Congressall Republicansvoted to confirm him last week as the head of the nations 17 intelligence agencies and the presidents top intelligence adviser, the 108th Congress tried to stop a man like Ratcliffe from assuming that very role in the first place. They wrote into the law that created the job, 50 US Code § 3023, Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise.
When the congressmans name was floated for DNI last summer, the already-thin justification of his national security experience evaporated almost immediately. Precisely two sentences of his official biography dealt with anything related to national security. Both proved to be inaccurate embellishments.

Anything he is involved in is sure to be a lie to protect Trump.
