Trump renominates John Ratcliffe for director of national intelligence
by John Gage
 | February 28, 2020 05:43 PM



President Trump is renominating Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe to become the next director of national intelligence.

"I am pleased to announce the nomination of @RepRatcliffe (Congressman John Ratcliffe) to be Director of National Intelligence (DNI)," the president said Friday on Twitter. "Would have completed process earlier, but John wanted to wait until after IG Report was finished. John is an outstanding man of great talent!"

Trump previously picked Ratcliffe, a Republican, to replace Dan Coats as the director in August, but the congressman withdrew his name from consideration after some senators doubted his credentials, and he was accused of embellishing his professional record as it related to the prosecution of Hamas terrorists.

At the time, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Ratcliffe of being nominated only because he was “blindly loyal” to Trump. When Ratcliffe withdrew his name from consideration, he blamed what he described as a partisan nomination process.

Good, from what I read this man is a Conservative.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Must be bad news to Trump fans.  Maybe instead of "orange man bad" its "Conservative man bad".

Reading comprehension problem?  Seems pretty clear.

My reading comprehension is still okay.  Why would "Trump fans" ever think that?  And, why would it be "bad news"?

That's what I would like to know.  Seems like a major appointment that Conservatives would want to talk about.  Especially since he faces an uphill battle to be confirmed.

That wasn't a straw man argument, that was a meta-straw man argument.  A straw man to describe a straw man.
