Is Hoekstra part of the swamp?
No, he’s saying Gordon is. She’s been in the IC her whole life. CIA for 30 years.
I differ with him on some social and budget issues from his past, but those aren't in his prevue in the Intel slot.
He cleaned up some critical program mismanagement back in the day, and that demonstrated the chops necessary for DNI.
He’d have a tough row to hoe. He’s had a number of gaffes & will be accused by muslims & others of being a bigot.
Was the plan to nominate Ratcliffe to see the other side’s arguments and then pull Ratcliffe to nominate a candidate who those arguments were no longer valid? Great plan President Trump, make the other side show their cards!
I refuse to hit their paywall.
Pete Hoekstra: I liked him. I met him once during the Reagan years at an open-air event. Shook his hand. He seemed jittery, nervous. That is my only experience with him.
Just read the FBI helped the witch from hell bleachbit and destroy her blackberry...FREAKN OUTRAGEOUSLY INCREDIBLE!!! AND too boot Comey has skated...don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!! Laws and prison time is for us not for them!! FREAKIN FORGET It FOLKS there will be NO JUSTICE!! Americans have to take it into their own hands I suppose!!
I dealt with him on some legislative issues when he was in congress and found him to be very smart and very ethical.
The Swamp Rats are now pushing hard to convince President Trump to make Coats’s Swampy Deputy, Sue Gordon, to become the new acting director when Coats leaves the post on August 15. Gordon has received endorsement tweets from an array of Deep State Usual Suspects in recent days, including Adam Schiff, John Brennan, James Comey and Rod Rosenstein... The fake news media is of course mounting a focused campaign to pressure the President to appoint Gordon to the post on a permanent basis... former Michigan Congressman and current U.S. Ambassador to The Netherlands Pete Hoekstra... is a former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, a post he held from 2004 through 2007. That little item on his resume would rob the Deep State hacks of the argument – which they used against Ratcliffe this week – that he lacks an understanding of the nation’s intelligence operations.
That, and to see which GOPe pukes squirm at the thought of a DNI Ratcliffe...
That was my theory! Is called IPB...Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield!
Primary Richard Burr, a traitor if their is one.
Hoekstra not only understands those operations, as former Chairman of that committee, he knows where all the bodies are buried.
Wager the left just had a massive brown alert.
Comey has many more crimes he will have to account for, it is just the beginning.
On news this am they said that Radcliff over-inflated his resume saying he apprehended 300 illegals in one day and enlarged the numbers for apprehending terrorists. If that is true, very sad because he would have been great for the DNI position.
I really wish, thorough job be done before President announces a candidate. Meaning, the person has the support of the Senate,resume checked and verified, background etc.

Personally I don’t think NYT has a paywall. Never encountered one.
Paywalls rarely stop me from reading news articles. Most are easily bypassed. The easiest way now for a lot of paywall sites is to use the latest version of Chrome in private mode. The latest version of Chrome disables the technique web sites use to detect in private mode browsers which makes it hard for web sites to know if you've been there before as the site can't access any cookies or other info it may have stored on your browser. As far as they know, you might be a new visitor and a potential subscriber so they want to give you get the first few articles free.
This article has several other useful techniques.
My favorite, because it's sneaky and devious, is to change a setting in your browser called the "user agent string" to one that's used by one of the dozens of search engine bots that are constantly crawling the web. Paywall sites allow those through as they want their content to be discoverable in web searches. There are a number of browser plugins for both desktop and mobile OS's that make this convenient and easy to fiddle with.
