Hi there,
According to The New York Times, Republicans in the Senate outvoted every single Democrat to confirm John Ratcliffe, “a fierce conservative ally of President Trump’s with relatively little intelligence experience, to lead the nation’s spy agencies.”
Democrats voted against the immensely unqualified, blatantly partisan pick -- but Republicans won. Now that they’ve installed their man, the Times reports Republicans, “want to see more documents declassified and released that are related to the Russia investigation opened during the Obama administration.”
That’s right -- Republicans handpicked a Trump loyalist to lead the intelligence community so that they can continue to feed Trump’s “Obamagate” conspiracy.
It looks like McConnell and his Republican allies see no problem with pandering to Trump’s darkest urges -- even at the expense of our national intelligence. We can’t block their vote, but we can make our voices heard now -- tell us:
