People can and should make up their own minds about Graham Platner.

But nobody should listen to lectures about character from Trump supporters.

A perfect example of a huge Trump scandal that goes under the radar because there are so many of them. Good work by @davidfrum

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.

[TitanToc @Silverback766]

Trump does not want an intelligence director who protects America from foreign adversaries; he wants a DNI who will selectively declassify government documents
on his behalf.

What a shameful crock of crap!

Really, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I'll simply say that Donald Trump is nothing more than a lifetime criminal and conman who was supported throughout his life by others affording him the opportunity to play make-believe with a gullible public.
The Apprentice was a reality TV show and nothing more.
Donald Trump's only areaas of expertise with which he can "navigate" would be perpetrating a fraud with massive numbers of people and crime.
ILet's just say that international diplomacy and ending wars isn't one of his specialties, especially in the case of the Russia/Ukraine conflict where Trump is clearly on the side of the aggressor, Russia, and has done all he can to frustrate all attempts to see it to its only just and durably ending peace, total victory for Ukraine and complete humiliation and collapse of the Russian Federation.
And Congressman, you know this.
You're simply allowing for the murders of more innocents so that you can maintain your worthless congressional seat.
Pathetic!

He doesn't want to be Carter (launching a risky military operation) and he also doesn't want to be Obama (taking the political hit for making a deal with Iran)

Which leads us to our current months-long moment of strategic paralysis

@CivtechDev @20committee You're telling me to "shoo shoo" ?

[Paddy O'Mugwump 🚫👑 @PatrickDowns]

@CivtechDev @20committee He's not wrong: "Terminated "in access" employees with bills and mortgages to pay may get desperate. That's when the walk-ins start. This is why the IC has avoided big RiFs, historically."

People who are desperate and privy to highly classified secrets become a risk.

[John Schindler @20committee]

I realize nobody in MAGA cares, but large-scale IC firings bring enormous counterintelligence challenges. Terminated "in access" employees with bills and mortgages to pay may get desperate. That's when the walk-ins start.

This is why the IC has avoided big RiFs, historically.

The issue isn’t making ODNI smaller. It’s whether the appointment is intended to make personnel decisions more political and place Americans in danger.
