Con artist shows he needs lies, not the truth

[someoneyouknow]

Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, is expected to step down any day now. This comes after he publicly contradicted the con artist's lies about North Korea giving up its nuclear weapons in testimony to Congress. In addition, Coats has repeatedly spoken the intelligence community's unvarnished truth about global terrorism, Iran, Russia, the status of ISIS, and climate change, all of which is the complete opposite of what the con artist says.

Coats, a Republican from Indiana, was formally backed by Mike Pence for the position though the con artist and Coats never got along due to Coats' insistence on telling the truth and the con artist's endemic lies.

Senator Angus King, Independent from Maine, stated the following during an interview on Sunday:

King told Berman that he believes Coats is an "honest, upright, thoughtful guy."

"And he enunciated his obligation very clearly in that hearing. He said my job -- the job of the intelligence community -- is to seek the truth and speak the truth," he said, adding should Coats be fired, it will send a bad message to the intelligence community.

"The message to the intelligence community is shade the data, cook it, slant it, don't tell the man what he doesn't want to hear. That's disastrous for the country," King said.​

It now appears that warning has come to fruition. Telling the truth to the con artist will get you fired. It's almost as if the con artist is taking cues from a well known liar in another country who helped get the con artist elected.

(It appears that the Trump Team is dumping all of the remnants
of the veneer of respectability, that it began with.)

Dan Coats, Who Challenged President Trump,
Is Ousted From Top Intelligence Job

July 28, 2019

(pResident Donald Duncecap) said he will nominate
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) to replace him.

Coats took a highly unusual step by issuing a blunt statement
on behalf of the U.S. intelligence community:

"We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling
in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to
undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide
unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our
national security."

In a rare interview, Coats spoke with NBC's Andrea Mitchell
in July 2018. In mid-conversation, she informed him of a
breaking news report that the White House had invited
Putin to Washington.

Clearly taken by surprise, Coats jokingly asked her to repeat it.

She did.

"OK. That's going to be special," Coats said, prompting laughter
from the live audience.

Coats was also an advocate of stronger election security,
though he worked for an administration that's been criticized
for not doing enough to safeguard against possible interference.

In one of his final acts, Coats named Shelby Pierson, a veteran
of the intelligence community, to serve in a new position as
the overall head of election security efforts.

"Election security is an enduring challenge and a top priority," Coats said.

Mitch McConnell Received Donations from Voting Machine
Lobbyists Before Blocking Election Security Bills

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squashed two bills
intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day
after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that
Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential
elections "as we sit here."

McConnell said he wouldn't allow a vote on the bills because
they were "so partisan," but, as previously reported, earlier
this year McConnell received a slew of donations from
four of the top voting machine lobbyists in the country.

It's interesting that the people who backed Pres. Obama, President Clinton and Secretary Clinton and Kerry in allowing the terror states money and freedom of action in expanding their terror are so upset over President Trump knocking the Emperor of North Korea on his seat and stopped him from expanding his threats to his neighbors in Asia.

The leftist in Congress are still trying to lie and fake "the Russian" deal that Trump "made". The only thing he did was when he was in business was think about opening a hotel in Russia, no big deal, and making comments on Hillary Clinton's illegal and criminal statements in her emails. (Lucky all that bleach and hammers fell from her bathroom pot cabinet and landed on her toilet server and destroyed it) It's not getting the emails (hackers are doing that all the time and should be punished) but what was in them. Treason by any other name is still treason. He didn't hack her, but he saw what they were and said so. Freedom of speech.

Speaking of which why isn't anyone saying anything about Bidden and Kerry and their drug head sons being paid a billion dollar bribe by the Chinese while both Bidden and Kerry were in office? He than came out and gave a comic speech about "we have nothing to fear" from China. They have nothing to fear if he is elected. And Hillary Clinton took millions from the Russians while she was in office. I mean if you are going to have a special counsel on one, shouldn't you on all? And I don't mean a bunch of dirty cops and politicians, but real investigators and not KGB types like the ones the Democrats used.

I know not one of the Democrats know anything about business only how to steal, but there is a big difference between engaged in setting up an honest business and taking bribes from dictators and drug lords and slavers from South America. Just saying.

LA Times pulls no punches-

July 28, 2019

(pResident Donald Duncecap) said Sunday he was replacing
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, whose views on
the threat posed by Russia often conflicted with the president’s,
with Rep. John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican and Trump loyalist.

Rep. John Ratcliffe appeared in an interview aired on Fox News
hours before Trump announced his selection,

Ratcliffe’s appointment comes at an important moment for matters
related to Russia. With the special counsel investigation over,
Atty. Gen. William Barr has been conducting a wide-ranging
internal review of whether the case was handled appropriately.
As part of that effort, Trump gave Barr additional authority to
review and declassify classified material.

Ratcliffe could grease the wheels for that process at a time when
Trump is eager to show that he and his campaign were treated
unfairly.

How many people did Obama and Clinton and every president replace while in office? Their people, as Obama and Clinton will tell you, are suppose to support and obey the presidents policies. People leave for other jobs, promotions, or have failed to support or do their job as required. Even Hillary left Obama.

Try another fake item to cry about.
