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 Trumps nominee to be the next director of national intelligence, isnt that guy. The Senate will take up Ratcliffes nomination this week, with him testifying before the intelligence committee on Tuesday.
While many questions about Ratcliffes 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.

But not being afraid of information is a great strength, and makes it more likely that Ratcliffe would be good for the job.
Nailed it. The FBI? Zero trust.
:: Exactly, and clicks for the boss. Staffers are paid for doing that. ::
So, how much do you get paid for bumping up MAGACoalition’s daily numbers?
You know, your internet doppleganger, Austin Steinbart, got busted for internet extortionby the FBI.
Seems he ransom-ware’d an FBI computer.
Maybe it WAS you, fund raising more than your $5 one-timer for MAGA-C?
Censoring a given source comes from fear of information.
Have some self confidence.
There’s lots of information out there. We are practically drowning in the flood.
A wise person practices discernment, which Ratcliffe has demonstrated he lacks.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
Proust, proust, proust.
You might think we are all laughing WITH you on this one.
You’d be wrong
“we”
Thanks for the preview of all the voices in your head.
Legion
Hive mind
Did Confucious say that?
which Ratcliffe has demonstrated he lacks.
How so? You saying it doesn't make it a thing.

You're in the ever shrinking minority, Proust. The world is waking up.
While you nap on your porch.
Do you ever wonder why there is a flood of information out there? This information cascade is unprecedented in American history.
You are a beneficiary of the Trump plan and his Q program, and don't even know it.
#WakeUp
speaking of dangerous and fake theories and information. Anyone who follows/reads/listens to/believes CBSNBCABCMSNBC New York Times, WA Post, etc. should be disqualified.
A wise person practices discernment, yes.
Like knowing a thing must be right when the mainstream media is telling us it’s wrong.
What does the media tell us about the twitter account Ratcliffe follows?
I dont pay attention to propaganda. Again, discernment matters.
You should know how fruitless it is to try to reason with the middle school educated bubbas such as these. The same good ole boys down at the manure plant on break defending their moronic conspiracy theory that no one in real authority will even admit exists lest they be labeled kooks.
I would have thought that the robinsons would have gotten rid of this pestilence you now lest it drive every educated person off his site. But apparently not. The boomers are the biggest supporters of this hoax so they buy their presence where other blogs banish them. Go figure.
Nope, 100% in error across the board.
I don’t know how many times you can be wrong in one post but that is close to a record. There isn’t even any daily show.
I watched on the weekend. I’m not fundraising for anyone. LOL
Your liberal agenda is showing.
Is there anyone you two are NOT better than?
Especially middle-America.
You did right by engaging proust.
Another snobby elitist who doesn't "punch down".
Revealing to us that you BOTH think so much of yourselves that you believe you speak for JimRob while presenting him with a backhanded admonishment and insult.
Snobbishly rude.
Unfortunately, according to JimRob's infinite patience with snobby assholes like you two, we must tolerate your expansive presentations of elitism.
You blame boomers?
Here, a book for you.

You seem to be seriously lacking in training.
Reading for Comprehension.
Pay close attention to the section on sarcasm and parody as legitimate rhetorical devices.
No thanks Yokel.
