Image: Senate Intelligence Committee Holds Nomination Hearing For John L. Ratcliffe To Be Director Of National IntelligenceRep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, testifies before a Senate Intelligence Committee nomination hearing on Capitol Hill on May 5, 2020.Andrew Harnik / Pool via Getty Images May 5, 2020, 8:25 PM CDT By Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence and NBC News/MSNBC analyst Since U.S. intelligence agencies exist to seek actionable information that is as close to the truth as possible, it follows that the person who heads our intelligence community should be a scrupulously honest seeker of apolitical facts. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next director of national intelligence, isn’t that guy. The Senate will take up Ratcliffe’s nomination this week, with him testifying before the intelligence committee on Tuesday.
While many questions about Ratcliffe’s credentials already exist — he was previously nominated only to withdraw over questions about his bio — of serious ongoing concern is his social media history. Recent reporting by Spencer Ackerman and Will Sommer at The Daily Beast ties Ratcliffe, at least tangentially, to dangerous conspiracy theories on Twitter.

I don’t twitter. Does following mean you’re endorsing?
Hate media never stops lying.
What? This is incredible - that you should be disqualified for reading the wrong stuff. Next, it will be disqualifying to be on Free Republic? Gee.
Some accounts get followed purely for entertainment purposes.
But reading the Russian Collusion conspiracy theory is not disqualifying.
Got it.
Being a Left winger should be “disqualifying”.
Warner and his bitch Burr both suck anus.
But not being a natural born citizen was not disqualifying for the Kenyan from Indonesia............/s

“dangerous conspiracy theories”
Oooh....dangerous
And nothing is more humorous and unserious than the unicorn chasing dinosaur hopping antics of the q people. No intelligent person takes it seriously but it is entertaining to hear the q predict something that was already in the news two days before.
Radcliffe is probably as entertained as the rest of us.
I follow “Tatiana McGrath”, the woke feminist.
It’s really a man mocking liberals.
He was previously someone else and got banned for claiming to be transracial...
THIS IS IT! WE GOT THE ORANGE MOFO NOW!
If the former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence is digging through Radcliffe’s social media accounts looking for dirt...AND this is all he’s come up with...I’d say Radcliffe will get confirmed.
Next up ‘acting’ FBI Director Richard Grenell.
In other words, they can’t find any bimbo to crawl out of the woodwork to say she has a vague memory of him sexually assaulting her at a frat party some 30 yrs ago so let’s tie him to Q. Yet they have no problem with a clown in the House who seriously thinks Guam is capable of tipping over into the Pacific, not to mention that brother F***er with her head wrapped in a schmatta who schmoozes with CAIR and other, to say the least unsavory characters.
Exactly, I enjoy scanning DU just to learn what the enemy is thinking. An intelligence chief needs wide exposure to the world around him.
LOL!!!! Imagine that. Following theories on social media.
Hmmmm. I wonder if anyone in Obama’s government followed wacko theories on social media? Better yet, wonder if Obama’s officials ADVOCATED wacko theories on social media?
Q doesn’t post on twitter. Others may carry his crumbs there, but Q doesn’t. Therefore someone is lying...again.
no- it means you are just following so anytime they post a tweet you will see it...
this is just more nonsense and complete BS from liberals..
