The appointment of a former US Attorney who is also a master of the details of the attempted plot to oust Trump signals that the “investigate the investigators” phase of the biggest political scandal in history is moving into high gear. (snip) With him calling the shots on the entire intelligence community, the stonewalling should be constrained if not stopped. Ratcliffe knows how the flip witnesses with threats of prosecution, and knows people in the Department of Justice who can carry out the threats of prosecution on lower-level people incriminated in the cabal’s plot to overturn an election and carry out a coup d’etat.

Next....change the FBI! Wray has also been stonewalling. He is part of the Deep State! Replace him and you will be able to get at who did what in the FBI.

That’s what I like about the President - if an appointee can’t ride the horse, get him out of the saddle and put someone up there who can.

Great news and excellent choice, Mr. President. May the US Senate be swift in confirming Ratcliffe.

As I said, this will get very serious in the upcoming year. Congrats to the President on an excellent pick.

Finally I'm seeing the word coup d'état and not Russian hoax like it was some kind of a silly prank gone wrong. The FBI and CIA need to be purge of political activist or completely dissolved from the present form. I want to see the bad actors prosecuted and jailed not writing books or doing TV cable shows. Let them do their book writings from jail cells for their treasonous acts. I'm not worried about getting Hillary Clinton or Obama giving this the appearance of getting back at them. I just want the crooks that carried out this attempted coup prosecuted and handed real justice. We the people demand it.

James Kallstrom, former director of the FBI would be a terrific replacement for Wray! He loves the FBI, despises what Comey and Wray have done to it and is a strong Trump supporter! He checks all the boxes!

Re #6: FTA: Incidentally, Ratcliffe’s congressional seat in the 4th District of Texas is completely safe for the GOP. So, moving Ratcliffe into an executive branch post will not jeopardize the GOP’s attempt to retake a House majority.

Despite hiding behind that self-effacing moniker, #8 above is truly on to something and I second the motion.
All of us must now take what really happened VERY seriously and stop just laughing it off like it was the Keystone Kops or some teenagers egging a house on Halloween! This was a sinister and well planned take-down of an elected President of the USA simply because he opposed their mindset --- and also because they hate the people who voted for him and wanted to teach us a lesson.
Every chance we get, hammer it home: Bad people tried a Coup d'etat and they must be hunted down and punished. It wasn't just a hoax. it was a crime! Say it. Out loud and often. Don't leave it to the usual suspects (Rush, Sean, Mark L., etc) to carry our water.

The only difference between what the CIA/FBI/State/DOJ did and what the Bolsheviks did in 1917 is that the Bolsheviks had to deal with the Czar and the Hillary Cabal had to deal with President Trump...Hillary's Cabal was the Bolsheviks in suits

#10, I beg to differ.
Kallstrom was the leader of the coverup for Clinton on the Flight 800 "accident" which was actually a missile shootdown. Various sources say either a US military error or a terrorist act, but NOT an accident. Many highly competent observers saw a missile rise, make a course correction and a high-level military ordinance warhead detonate. NOT a fuel tank explosion.
And Kallstrom lead the FBI team that covered it all up, working for Jamie Gorelick, the fixer in the DoJ for Bill Clinton.

And also, #10, AFAIK, Kallstrom was never Director of the FBI.

Is something going on at the Pentagon? Weird internet rumor of 16 marines arrested attempting smuggle in sniper? The purpose was a “real coup” attempt? https://youtu.be/ee3xjfviKSg

Good riddance. Coats was a loser when Trump appointed him. I could never understand the appointment, except it might have been meant to appease Congress, who ALWAYS thinks that because they have intel oversight committees, they are experts at running the national intelligence establishment. On the other hand, look at what the "professionals" did to the intel establishment - and the country - when they ran things under Obama. I guess the key is "non-deep staters" if you can find them in DC.

Start working at home with Google! It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to home tab for more detail ... www.works7.com

LEADERS need to also take another look at the entire hastily enacted concept of,
''Homeland Security,'' because it is in many ways a hindrance to law enforcement agencies under its umbrella rather than a help. Lumping all of these formerly respected and professional separate Law Enforcement agencies together with the stated intention of making them all more efficient through better communications has but led to the current sad situation of bad recruiting and low morale.

Ratcliffe did an excellent job questioning Mueller at the hearing and essentially schooling him and the enemedia on the basic premise of presumed innocence in our justice system, with NO need or inferred authority to "exonerate" an accused subject of an investigation.
Hopefully, his last name will be prophetic about where he is about to send the coup co-conspirators over.
