We need to be VERY clear on what has happened here.
- The Trump Admin knew Russia was seriously attacking our election and said nothing
- When that was about to come out, the Director of National Intelligence held a press conference where he flatly misled the public

Two U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News the Trump administration has known for weeks that Iran and Russia had successfully hacked local governments and obtained voter registration and other personal data.

- Now that the news has broken, it is 100% clear Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe knowingly and intentionally 1) misrepresented the facts; and 2) did so to help Trump
Last nights press conference was the equivalent of Barrs memo lying about the Mueller Report.

That isnt hyperbole.
Ratcliffe raced to hold a press conference to *falsely* preemptively frame a threat to our national security.
He did so to protect Trump.
Ratcliffe is the Bill Barr of Intelligence.
He must be placed under maximum scrutiny.
Maximum.
