as a retired business leader, i'd fire at least 20% of all and start all over again

One major reason is Ratcliffe will be a help to Barr in blowing the lid off The Coup....

Tom Fitton has been a true patriot in seeking information needed to unravel a lot of the corruption of the past administration. If it weren't for people like him, we would not know many things that come out. We need more like him!!

You know if John Brennan likes Dan Coates there must be a problem.

Ratcliff did horrible, unspeakable things to me in my sleep. I wait until confirmation to publically accuse him.

We'll, the NASA director's biggest accomplishment was working at a SPACE MUSEUM so this selection makes sense

[angeleyes]

President beeds to strip Coat of security clearance. Everyone should be stripped of security clearance and investigated vefore allowing them clearance again, once the moles are plucked

[WVaMomma]

Thanking God for Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch! He exposed Hillary’s email scandal and I hope he watches his back!
