A summary review of the DOJ and FBI insider group; those who were behind the 2016 election effort to block and then remove Donald Trump from office; reveals they are generally unhappy with ODNI Dan Coats being removed.
Former FBI Director James Comey:
Former CIA Director John Brennan:
Former Deputy Attorney General who was in charge of Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein:
Their basic disposition is one of anxiety to see Dan Coats being removed; and considerable concern that Representative John Ratcliffe will replace him.
The Lawfare group, aka legal beach friends, allies of the DOJ/FBI small group and advocates for the position of the seditious coup plotters, are collectively hoping that Coats’ Principal Deputy Director Sue Gordon will replace the director; [See Here] while referencing 50 U.S. Code §3026 (a)(6)
(6)The Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence shall act for, and exercise the powers of, the Director of National Intelligence during the absence or disability of the Director of National Intelligence or during a vacancy in the position of Director of National Intelligence.
The basic outlook -as conveyed in a multitude of various Lawfare media articles – is that Sue Gordon will be able to use the interim time as ‘acting director’, while allies in congress (both parties) stall any confirmation for Ratcliffe, to mount a rapid ODNI response with burn bags, document shredders and coordinated media leaks.
All of the Lawfare allies, and their media and principal participants in the DOJ/FBI effort, seem focused on installing DNI Deputy Sue Gordon to delay any potential risk to record and document recovery, and/or production. Together with the Brookings group this is the general direction of the Lawfare pushed media narrative.

With all the coup plotters praising Dan Coats, strongly criticizing John Ratcliffe, and simultaneously working to install Sue Gordon, it would appear the administrative state has identified a risk to their interests.
The unity of their narrative is quite telling.
They better be careful in their praise. What if Coats actually was the one who already declassified and produced this stuff prior to his departure?

I believe Trump should make temp appointments of Roger’s. I feel that the dem controlled rino’s will try to kill the nomination. Masshealth Mit and senator puppet Burr will be no votes. So we’re looking at 50vote tie at best.
With Mike Roger’s you gave an honest man and he could be next to be nominated. So roger’s knows we’re the bodes are buried and had been nominated before. He would be a good fit.

Twenty minutes before President Trump announced Sunday afternoon on Twitter that Representative John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) would be his choice to replace Dan Coats as the director of national intelligence, the Democrats’ attack machine already was in action.
“John Ratcliffe, by one measure the second most conservative member of Congress, appears to believe that the Russia investigation was cooked up by Democrats who ‘committed crimes.’ Now Trump reportedly is considering placing atop the US intelligence community,” tweeted NBC News analyst Ken Dilanian, pejoratively known as “Fusion Ken” for his ties to the infamous opposition research shop, Fusion GPS.
(Take note of Dilanian’s scare quotes around “committed crimes” as if the whole thing was legit and not under criminal investigation by a U.S. attorney or a separate probe by the Justice Department inspector general.)

Most of us have been waiting for a sign, a real sign, for 2.5 years.
By March 2017, we all knew what had happened and who was guilty. It has been an agonizing wait to get the truth out.
For the first time in a long time, I think that the chess pieces are finally in place to get some results.
Many of President Trumps appointments have been disappointing to conservative voters…that is until yesterday.
Ratcliffe is a BEAST, and is finally a tell to me that the Big Ugly could be approaching (possibly by Christmas?…that would be a GREAT present.) One of the most conservative voices in Congress. Hated by all of the enemies of this country.
I generally do not trust any politician, but as a west coast kid I will say that they just don’t make them like they do in east Texas. If the team being assembled lets us down, we are officially screwed.
I’ve heard that Lithuania has a generous citizenship program.

Geez. Read the Lawfare post on this, and the treachery is palpable.
Has anybody ever investigated the Lawfare group?
I think if someone did, might they find Wittes, Chesney, et al, are agents of some
government other than ours?

And anyway, Trump can just fire the principal deputy as well, and replace both
of the bad apples at the same time.
What do you say about that, Mr. Chesney?

So if Sue Gordon will be installed as DNI by regulatory requirement, what is the win here? It will take months for Ratcliffe to be confirmed (if ever); is there an actual win for our side in this scenario?
