Lion Heart 15,041 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 WASHINGTON — Even by the standards of President Trump’s administration, Rep. John Ratcliffe’s troubled nomination to run America’s intelligence services died quickly. Trump announced Ratcliffe’s withdrawal by presidential tweet on Friday, less than a week after the Texas congressman was put forward to become the new Director of National Intelligence. From the jump, Ratcliffe was dogged by accusations that he'd padded his resume with boasts of terrorist prosecutions that never happened. Trump said he plans to announce a new pick for Director of National Intelligence “shortly.” Ratcliffe came under heavy criticism for exaggerating his background as an anti-terrorism prosecutor in the Eastern District of Texas under former President George W. Bush. His congressional office backed away from his earlier claims to have “put terrorists in prison,” after evidence could not be presented that he ever actually prosecuted a terrorist. https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/vb547m/trumps-top-intel-pick-john-ratcliffe-didnt-even-last-a-week ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
