Coats was another clunker appointment.

He angered Trump when he appeared to criticize the president’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin during an on-stage interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell at last year’s Aspen Security Forum.

He drew Trump’s ire again in January when he told a Senate panel that North Korea was unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons, contradicting the president’s cheerier assessments.

No one connected to Bolton. Do not compound the error.

Trump could leave the position empty and would be better served than having that piece of shit as his DNI.

Coates has always been a RINO at best and a TRAITOR at worst.

He is a slimy bastard and should never have been hired.

Oh, please, please, please, Mr. President let it be so.

Dan Coats should be out of the Administration post haste.

He should have been gone long ago.

Coats should definitely be replaced. But Fleitz is yet another warhawk neocon.

I remember an op-ed written by a stealth Deep Stater, who wrote it anonymously.

It was a scathing article telling “us” the people that there were those in the Administration who were looking out for them and not to worry because they were working against President Trump.

I have always thought that the Betrayer was Dan Coats.

Coats should have never been appointed. He is deep state. I believe he has made a number of leaks.

Jails have better and more accurate intel than any three letter agency.

Sentencing is still on hold.
Judge seems to be getting perturbed at the prosecutors.
