Ratcliffe is the one who really went after Mueller re the statement in his report that he did “not exonerate” the President.
I cheered Ratcliffe during that exchange, and it was replayed many times on Fox.

Three years ago Trump was talking about eliminating the DNI role. Why not take this opportunity to do it?

Dave:

The bombshell is the collateral damage inflicted by the interim DNI appointee.

Scaramucci Model.

EXPLOSIVE headline makes it so. No doubt Trump is done after this most recent abuse of the office. Or something.

Wrong, David. The President of the United States is the ultimate classification/de-classification authority.

Agree. But not just Hannity. All the media/social media crowd do this constantly.

The other issue, really becoming annoying now, is the tendency to report future events and/or intentions:

“Mulehead mulling . . . .”
“Trump considering . . . .”
“DemoKKKrats planning . . . .”
“Pentagon intends . . . .”

This is just BS sloppy lazy reporting. It is certainly not NEWS which is about ACTS or EVENTS that have already happened. An intention is fine, but means nothing without action. Everyone “considers” everything. All sorts of people plan. I “plan” on winning a Pulitzer and owning my own Caribbean island . . . .

It may be a timed explosive. It appears that Trump is laying the ground work for all sorts of stuff to be made public, but at a time that is most damaging to the democrats and positive for his being elected to a second term. i.e. a lot of stuff seems set to explode beginning next year.

“The truly biggest, loudest bombshell of them all was that Hillary orchestrated and paid for the Steele report and the report was used by the FBI, the DOJ, and all the intelligence agencies as legitimate.”

That and the fact that Muller’s team was made up of HRC partisans. She might as well picked his staff.

Imagine that. A failed presidential candidate creates a fake scandal for the new president then gets to staff the police investigating the fake crime. Plus has all the media on their side pushing the lie.

And she still lost (again).

I always wondered what recommended Coats for the job in the first place...

Ratcliffe announcing his stance before the official announcement of his appointment.

He seems to have no problem going after 'Obama officials'.

John Ratcliffe: AG William Barr will deliver justice to any Obama officials who committed crimes

(excerpt)

A top Republican investigator said accountability is coming for any of those individuals who may have committed crimes during the Trump-Russia investigation.

With the Justice Department conducting a review of that operation, Rep. John Ratcliffe said during a Fox News interview Sunday that he trusts Attorney General William Barr and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to provide answers.

And while Ratcliffe said he does not want to prematurely accuse any specific person of a crime — as Democrats have done with President Trump — he stressed that it is clear crimes were committed by people during the Obama administration, including government officials.

The trouble with a lot of you guys, is your addiction to the cynical attitude to certain words. You see BOOM and you can't wait to 'virtue signal' how wise and knowing you are. Most of you wouldn't know a BOOM it it retched up and bit you.

I'll tell you why this is a BOOM.

Coats is a derp, and he was in position to block DECLAS. DECLAS was on hold until Mueller was dead 'n buried. Now he is.

It was known (by some) that Coats was a 'dead man walking' since at least February, yet he was kept in place.

It's no coincidence that the moment Mueller was totally over, that Coats is fired. Yes fired, in case you don't get that either.

February 18.

DAN COATS OUT [FORCED] (SOON) - Source = Trump friend Chris Ruddy.

Interesting this leaked already.

He had to go to clear the way for DECLAS. You did read the part about he has the final sign-off, right? Even though Trump bypassed him in the DECLAS process and gave authority to Barr, he could have still made trouble.

May 23.

Why did POTUS circumvent DNI Coats (normal protocol for DECLAS) and give AUTH directly to AG Barr?

So, yea. BOOM. You guys just don't know how to recognize BOOMS quite yet.

The road is clear for DECLAS. The timing has been set all along. It's a little thing I like to call THE PLAN.

Trust it.

p.s. If it would help, when you see the word BOOM, mentally replace it with HUGH AND SERIES.

You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means.

I think Trump isolates these Deep Staters, boxes them in, slowly strangles and suffocates them until they quit, or get fired. Keep in mind how infected DC is , Trump couldn’t very well knock them all out at once, sure that sounds good on the internet but not realistic.

Notice Wray has been pretty quiet as FBI director, he probably knows his time is coming.

Just my 2 cents.

Trust it.

Explain it.

Maybe line it out with bullet points or something.

Trusting without seeing requires faith.

I ain't looking for any new religion but I'd be interested to see any plan that I should be trusting.

Seems a perfectly reasonable stance, no?

Explain it.

Are we doing this again?

Okay, THE PLAN for dummies AGAIN!!!!!!

a. The first step in the plan is to understand, unlike the barking know-it-alls around here, that Trump HAS a plan. Without that basic understanding, people end up like you, HG. Lost and confused.

b. Take down the deep state worldwide.

c. Profit.

Simple as that, really.

For proof that there IS a plan, consider events since Trump was elected. But this time with the understanding that there is a PLAN.

Things will look different. They really will.
