Cool. Soon we can add lying under oath to his list of bonafides.

“President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence may be lacking a little-noticed but crucial qualification for the job: intelligence experience.”

Like Rick Perry previously managed a nuclear weapons program? Or Jared Kushner conducted diplomatic missions?

Pretending lack of qualifications for a Trump job nominee is a problem is idiocy on its face.

Republicans lie with the same instinct (and regularity) as normal people breathe. This isn’t news.

He’s toast. Even if Donnie doesn’t throw him under the bus–which is entirely a product of how much the MSM does or doesn’t pick up on this fuckhead’s egregious lying–nobody in the IC will give Ratcliffe the time of day. He’ll be gone within 6 months (during which, I grant, he could do incalculable damage).

Sort of like telling a kid to leave the broken vase alone, he might break it.

There’s this:

Ratcliffe has led the rhetorical charge to “investigate the investigators.”

 

And so, of course, there’s this:

But NBC was unable to find any public record of Ratcliffe prosecuting any terrorism cases, despite a claim on his website that he “put terrorists in prison.”

But ABC was unable to find court records supporting Ratcliffe’s involvement in the case as a prosecutor.

That’d be Stephen Miller. Even the lady snakes don’t want to sleep with him.

Impurity of essence.

That’s because they were super-duper top secret cases that were totally sealed, even to the very fact of their existence.

He bravely put his life on the line to take down the baddest folks on the planet, and this is how you reward him, with questions and doubt. Sad!

I’m not impressed.

Every one of Trump’s picks has had little to no experience with whatever it was he wanted them to do. Their jobs, their ONLY jobs, are to dismantle what ever is put in front of them and make it totally useless so it can be shut down and the money put in the Trump coffers (or #ditchMoscowMitch’s).

None of these so-called public servants have any intention of doing anything that would help anyone but themselves and their masters.
