You know, what I’d really like to see is DJT abolish the office and transfer the duties to some other trusted subordinate — one not subject to confirmation.
As I posted earlier, I’d rather see Ratcliffe where he is. We need all the real conservatives we can get in Congress. He will continue to do yeoman work alongside Jordan, Meadows, Collins, Gaetz, Biggs, others.

That is the silver lining to all this, I admit.
The DNI was supposed to be a structure that coordinated budgets & communications between the 17 members of the IC. Over time it absorbed so many USG IC positions it is essentially an 18th member of the IC. It is a “Ministry of Administrative Affairs” for the IC! Chock full of Sir Humphrey Applebys!

Doing what work? Making speeches? The GOP is in the minority and the progressive corportists comfortably control the GOP caucus. Heck, even the “Freedom Caucus” voted for Paul Ryan. Ratcliffe isn’t going to change that. If POTUS wanted him at DNI that is good enough for me.
