Our great Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe is being treated very unfairly by the LameStream Media. Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2019
....John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country. I will be announcing my nomination for DNI shortly.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2019
Here’s the strategy:
Trump knows whoever he chooses will be blasted by the MSM. So he makes a blatant partisan choice, & gets them to expend outrage ammo. Then he pulls it, and inserts someone else.
If it’s Gordon it’ll have worked perfectly. The MSM was defending her this week— Julian's Rum 🥃 (@JuliansRum) August 2, 2019
The MSM doesn't know anything about her or her motives -- just that, ostensibly, Trump doesn't want her.
The White House "leaked" that they were trying to find a way to not name her Acting Director, making the media defend her.— George Ronson (@GeorgeRonson1) August 2, 2019
Remember, Rod Rosenstein tweeted this 3 hours ago. He knew this was coming.
Sounds like Sue Gordon may be the Acting Director then the permanent choice. We’ll see.
Either way, you’re watching the Scaramucci Model in action. #Qanon pic.twitter.com/QCxYRVNZOk— Julian's Rum 🥃 (@JuliansRum) August 2, 2019
Deputy DNI Sue Gordon is a proven patriot who understands foreign threats, respects the nonpartisan truth, and protects America 24/7. Daughter of a Navy Vice Admiral, mother of 2 Marine captains. Gordon is a great @realDonaldTrump appointee! @SenatorBurr @LindseyGrahamSC https://t.co/1jCryBHm1A— Rod Rosenstein (@RodRosenstein) August 2, 2019
I just thought of something....can you imagine the exploding heads if he nominates Flynn?????
Ratcliffe was a dope...he fudged his resume. I guess he didn’t learn from the George O’Leary stupidity
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Q already told us: Ezra Cohen-Watnick
Wow, Ratcliffe out!!! I wonder who Trump will nominate now.
General Flynn in a recess appointment. (That’s what I’d do - stick it to them)
Can’t Trump put anyone he wants in as DNI on an acting basis for up to six months while he picks a new successor? Now that the RINOs torpedoed his choice he should put the most noxious Scaramucci in there and let them really bitch.
