Fusion GPS and Deep State Activated to Attack John Ratcliffe

....be leaving office on August 15th. I would like to thank Dan for his great service to our Country. The Acting Director will be named shortly.

The main thrust of the coordinated freak-out: that Ratcliffe challenged the Deep State operatives and Fusion GPS assets who attempted a coup against Trump, and that he might expose these operators and take their #Resistance jobs away from them.

They're horrified at his questioning of Mueller. How dare he question a figurehead fronting a coup effort!

Here's Fusion Ken, for example:

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.

Update: I guess Fusion GPS got its talking points out, huh?

Just keep scrolling down. Everyone's on the same "truth to power" page, for some reason.

More below.

Ratcliffe claimed Mueller had too many democrats on his staff. Does he plan to find out the affiliations of this working for him at DNI? If so, it's gonna be ugly. https://t.co/NowXGphLw6

I heard Ratcliffe say the Mueller report was authored by “Hillary Clinton’s...defense team.” This kind of idiotic conspiracy-theory nonsense disqualifies him to be Director of National Intelligence (he lacks the requisite intel experience, judgement and allegiance to the truth). https://t.co/T2aeeewVOw

I was a Fed for 30 years. When the FBI & US Attorney’s Offices open an investigation, it’s a non-political act. If every investigation gets “investigated” when a new party takes power, our law enforcement practices will break down. Reason 742 to impeach this criminal president. https://t.co/DN9WSQzNnH

Note that Trump's stooge Ratcliffe is coming aboard as ODNI at EXACTLY at the moment Democrats are beginning their fight to access the FBI counterintelligence report detailing how Trump colluded with multiple foreign governments and may yet be a clear danger to national security. https://t.co/u5ZeI0e0c0

DERELICTION OF DUTY: With Ratcliffe's claim that the Mueller report was written by “Hillary Clinton’s de facto legal team,” it appears that Trump has found a Director of National Intelligence as skeptical of the Russian threat as he is.#PutinsPuppet https://t.co/vt8BUg3jwO

Does it worry Republican senators that Trump just nominated a congressman who delivered one of the most intellectually dishonest (or downright stupid) performances in the Mueller hearings? It should. https://t.co/ydIIhcdh3g
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) July 28, 2019

Dan Coats served ably & with deep integrity. Ratcliffe showed abject subservience to Trump in Mueller hearings. The women & men in the Intelligence Community deserve a leader like Coats who puts nation first; not a servile Trump loyalist like Ratcliffe. https://t.co/fbYgS3MoOM
— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) July 29, 2019

Brennan, one of the central figures of the Russia collusion hoax both when he worked for Obama and as an anti-Trump pundit, is harshly criticizing Ratcliffe for his skepticism of same. https://t.co/FcXv3nJMuL
