The Deep State and it’s allies in Congress knew they couldn’t control Grennell. They’re hoping that they’ll have some sway with Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe has talked a great game. Much the same way Gowdy and some others have. Only to realize that he, and they, were/are all members of The Club.
Time will tell with Ratcliffe. If they have dirt on him, he’ll be as useless as Coats was. I always got the impression, given the way he handled the job, that Grennell didn’t give two sh*ts about what any of them thought and he was clean.
Hoping and praying that Ratcliffe ends up being the real deal and carries the torch that he’s been handed.
