So the Senate was quick to confirm Radcliffe as Director of NI, replacing Grennell.
Are we happy that we have just replaced a Pit-bull (Grennell) with a Politician (Radcliffe)? A replacement that seems to have put the Democrats at ease.

I don't know that the Democrats are "at ease" with Ratcliffe. The senate confirmation vote went right down party lines 49-44.
No Democrat voted for him, they just got outvoted.

I think Ratcliff will be Ok.I hope he keeps Grenell close by his side.Now we need a new FBI director.Barr should fire his ass.Dems would be in an uproar if he did.

Quick Moves – Full Senate Confirms John Ratcliffe as Director of National Intelligence… It is quite remarkable how quickly the senate can move on a confirmation vote when there is a heavy dose of self-preservation in play. Only two days after the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) voted to advance the nomination of John Ratcliffe as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the full senate takes up the nomination and ‘presto’… Ratcliffe is confirmed. Perhaps another way to look at it…. two days after the SSCI cried uncle in an attempt to rid themselves of the atomic sledgehammer of transparently perpetual sunlight known as Ric Grenell, Senate Leader Mitch McConnell rushed the quick dispatch. Seriously, it’s a little unfair to cast a great man like John Ratcliffe as ‘less than’, because he truly is not less than anyone; however, boy howdy the deep state couldn’t get rid of their nemesis Richard “Ric” Genell quickly enough. Mr. Grenell quietly brought more declassified sunlight upon the swamp than decades of prior transparency efforts; and he did it with a very deliberate flair, quite fun. DNI John Ratcliffe will do an excellent job, and I seriously doubt this is the last we have seen of the Mr. Grenell. FBI Director Grenell does have a nice ring to it. https://theconservativetreehouse.co...or-of-national-intelligence/#more-192369

This & This alone....................Ratcliffe may be OK, TBD, but Grenell was kickin' azz & they had to rid themselves of him. Absolute best think Ratcliffe could do would be make Grenell Deputy Director DNI, but he won't; Trump should insist that he does. MM

Then Trump needs to twist some arms, as in really hard.
Time for the gloves to come............could let it ride 'til after the election, then put the hammer down.
