Let me make the easy joke and say that obviously Ratcliffe has no idea what “intelligence” is.

Right. Giuliani, who has been palling around with known russkie agents, just happens to come into possession of Hunter’s alleged HDD, but there’s nothing that would support the whole thing being worked up between the two.

Unless Ratcliffe is saying he knows it’s not a russkie campaign because he knows exactly which players cooked this up, and he’s in on it…

The intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence…

You could have stopped right there.

Ratcliffe has a lot riding on the election. If Trump loses there’s a good chance he’s gonna be charged with treason.

There’s being stupid and there’s looking stupid. Ratcliffe manages to do both.

I know this isn’t a crowd that “understands” things, but does Ratcliffe realize he is actively aiding and abetting foreign interference into our election? I really hope any potential Biden AG’s are making notes as we speak.

Also, Ratcliffe looks somewhat like Michael Scott and appears to be almost as competent.

Lets not talk about Ratcliffe’s wet dreams, I suspect they are like Danny Hastert’s, just with younger boys.

But seriously, Ratcliffe needs a special investigation, by a designated special counsel, to see what if any crimes he can be charged with come January 21, 2021.

The difference in Bill Barr and Ratcliffe, is that Barr sees the risk of criminal charges he faces, and he has stopped doing Trump’s dirty work (or at least trying to hide it) while Ratcliffe is going around with a sign on his back saying “please put me in jail”

No way. He will join a think tank or a K Street shop and rack in millions. The Wingnut Welfare Network is generous with those that sacrifice themselves for the cause.

Translation: I, John Ratcliffe, MUST support Dear Leader’s lies about Joe Biden or I will be out on my Ass in late January with NO JOB PROSPECTS because I am such a toadying lick-spittle with no skills other than ass-kissing that even OAN and FOX won’t hire me.

Despicable. He means not part of THIS:

The United States on Monday [unsealed criminal charges] against six Russian intelligence officers in connection with some of the world’s most damaging cyber attacks, including disruption of Ukraine’s power grid and releasing a mock ransomware virus — NotPetya — that infected computers globally causing billions of dollars in damage.

That group, authorities say, also hacked computers supporting [the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea), hacked and leaked emails of individuals involved in French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron’s campaign in 2017, and targeted the international and British organizations investigating the poisoning of a former Russian operative, two years ago in Britain.
