Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's former director of national intelligence called on Congress to create a commission to "oversee the election," an especially notable proposal from a former senior administration official that comes as the President continues to sow doubt about the integrity of the upcoming contest.
Former DNI Dan Coats outlined the proposed oversight commission in an opinion piece published Thursday in The New York Times in which he wrote that "our democracy's enemies, foreign and domestic, want us to concede in advance that our voting systems are faulty or fraudulent; that sinister conspiracies have distorted the political will of the people," among other things. As a result, Coats wrote, the "most urgent task American leaders face is to ensure that the election's results are accepted as legitimate."

The dirty ones are exposing themselves imo.
By “Congress”, does Coats mean Nancy’s House, the Senate, or some “non-partisan” group, which will either be politically appointed or powerless?
Coats is from the intelligence community and he’s here to help.
Where’s that Tracy Morgan no gif at.
Coats is about to go down and is scared.
“...are accepted as legitimate...”. How about actually legitimate?
Dan Coats is the one who orchestrated the coverup of the Mt Carmel massacre. Career Deep Stater.
“”Woodward book: Former intel chief Dan Coats believed “Putin had something on Trump” “”

Looks to me like Coats was another one of Trumps bad hires
Congress oversee an election?
Great idea if you want thousands of car trunks full of votes.
Many Pelosi would be thrilled to provide such oversight.
Coats is from the intelligence community and he’s here to help.
As for Vice President Mike Pence, the fellow Hoosier and good friend of Coats who brought him into the administration, Coats believed he had built a cocoon around himself and become passive, subservient and obedient, Woodward writes. Pence encouraged Coats to “look on the positive side of things” that Trump has done.
The book describes Marsha Coats confronting Pence at a White House dinner after something outrageous had happened.
“And I just looked at him, like, how are you stomaching this?” Marsha Coats is quoted as saying. “And he just whispered in my ear, ‘Stay the course.’”
It had been Marsha Coats who – along with Pence – had convinced a reluctant Coats to take the job after leaving the Senate at the end of 2016, according to the book.
Dan Coats had concluded that Pence was trying to seed the cabinet with allies, people who shared his religious values, and agreed to be nominated, Woodward writes.
It wasn’t long, however, before Coats began to think that Trump was impervious to facts.
Is Coats just Bolton without the Capn Crunch mustache?
This is going to be the most interesting election in American history...The aftermath of the election is going to be equally interesting...
Use your imagination to define the word “interesting”.....
Before Coats was DNI he was a senator from Indiana and we Hoosiers can warn you he’s as deep state as it gets. He puts the oh in RINO.
I can only imagine who would be on the commission. Headed by Mueller, with Struck, Page and Comey as Co Chairs.
Which, was exactly the scenario when Oklahoma's dope addicts/libertarians stole the election to legalize marijuana.
That's how they roll.
Have Bolton and Coats ever been seen in the same room together?
Is Coats just Bolton without the Capn Crunch mustache?
Hell no. Congress is a lying, filthy shithole.
What’s your favorite color ... revolution?
