John Ratcliffe Interview Takes On New Significance After Trump Picks Him As Intelligence Chief

[Monrose72]

Hours before President Donald Trump tapped him Sunday as director of national intelligence, Rep. John Ratcliffe urged investigations into potential wrongdoing during the Obama administration, including potentially illegal leaks to the media. “What I do know as a former federal prosecutor is it does appear that there were crimes committed during the Obama Administration,” Ratcliffe told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo. Trump announced later on Sunday that he was nominating Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats, who will leave the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on Aug. 15.

Trump's been in office two and a half years. Why they now just talking about this if there was evidence of wrongdoing?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Given what he said in his interview with Maria Bartiromo, you can bet the Democrats will use every dirty trick in their bag to derail his nomination. Stay tuned!

President Trump read “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu.

Obviously, the Deep State Domestic Enemies did not.

Why they now just talking about this

Ratcliffe has been talking about it all along. He's been on Maria Bartiromo basically every Sunday.

The mainstream media started paying attention to Ratcliffe yesterday (in order to find "dirt" on him) because Trump just nominated him for DNI.

Looks like Trump is gettting all his ducks in a row for 2020.

It will be “interesting”.

......as Trump's new director of national intelligence, Rep. Ratcliffe urged investigations into potential
wrongdoing during the Obama admin, including potentially illegal leaks to the media.......

Ratcliffe and Barr are on the same page. AG Barr recently revealed DOJ investigations into media leaks .....
determining how MSM had scoops on the Trump-Russia investigation long before Congress was aware of the subject matter.

The linchpin is the Clintons.

ITEM <><> Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

ITEM <><> The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to
reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—

ITEM <><> Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

ITEM <><> Hillary frequently used the Democrats' "wrap-up smear."......leaking false info about her opponent to the media. When the obedient press published the smear, Hillary would wave it around indicating she was the superior candidate.

===================================

The Clinton Foundation listed "notable past members" they were cozy with.
This page was carried in the Clinton Foundation archives........until recently.

Page has since been deleted from Clinton Foundation archives.

God bless and protect John Ratcliffe...

The ENTIRE Kenyanesian Usurpation was one long eight year crime spree.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Reads like a “Who’s Who” of the Ministry of Propaganda.

[Do_Tar]

Well we now have prominent Democrats on record that former Presidents can be indicted for crimes committed while in office.
Obama is a former President...

[WASCWatch]

Ratcliffe is as pure as the wind-driven snow, as are Barr, and Durham.

Need to get rid of the FBI Director Wray and the CIA Director next; and then there will be honest people in those two positions.

Ryan in the House and Sessions at the DOJ are gone now. That should answer your questions.

Well if you're expecting the House to do anything now then you must not be aware of who the Speaker currently is. As for Sessions, what is Barr doing that he wouldn't do?

[FreeReign]

Well if you're expecting the House to do anything now then you must not be aware of who the Speaker currently is.

Ryan WAS the problem in the House.

As for Sessions, what is Barr doing that he wouldn't do?

You must not be aware that Barr with Durham are leading an investigation, while Sessions during his tenure recused himself, left us in the hands of the weasel Rosenstein, and hid under his desk.

At least with Barr, it's TBD.
