And what did DNI Ratcliffe do if anything?
I like him but where was he on this? Were his subordinates flipping him the bird? Was he toothless? Doesn’t he have IG staff and possibly US Marshalls at the ready?
Keeping it simple, where was Ratcliffe?
Ratcliffe was another victim of the coup. He came in too late to do anything to move the treacherous bureaucracies in the various agencies.
Cleaning up such Augean stables would take entire presidential terms, nothing was going to happen in the few months that he was there.
