Senate panel approves Trump nominee for spy chief
By Jordain Carney - 05/19/20 10:10 AM EDT

The Senate Intelligence Committee voted on Tuesday to approve President Trump’s spy chief nominee, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas).

Three members of the panel confirmed coming out of the closed-door vote that the panel had advanced to Ratcliffe’s nomination to the full Senate for a confirmation vote. If confirmed, the Texas Republican will be the next director of National Intelligence (DNI).

“It was a straight party-line vote,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the committee.

John Ratcliffe doesn't respect American citizens privacy

Another Trump move away from personal freedom and Constitutional values.  He doesn't want to be spied on even though he was meeting with Russian government before being elected.  But he sure as hell thinks that we all should be spied upon.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

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.
