In fact, McConnell and Burr are so scared of him that they nuked his appointment the first time POTUS nominated him. They are only confirming him now because POTUS forced their hand by putting Grenell in as Acting DNI, and they need Grenell out of their hair ASAP. permalink save report block reply ▲ 7 ▼ – sply1 7 points 331 days ago +7 / -0 Maybe this is why Burr stepped down over some stock thing, so that he's not at the top taking the heat when the guy gets confirmed. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 5 ▼ – Only_Rosie_ODonnell 5 points 331 days ago +5 / -0 GEOTUS is a stable genius permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 4 ▼ – inquimouse 4 points 331 days ago +4 / -0 Burr is finally out of the way. permalink parent save report block reply
Ratcliffe is absolutely on our side.
In fact, McConnell and Burr are so scared of him that they nuked his appointment the first time POTUS nominated him.
They are only confirming him now because POTUS forced their hand by putting Grenell in as Acting DNI, and they need Grenell out of their hair ASAP.
Maybe this is why Burr stepped down over some stock thing, so that he's not at the top taking the heat when the guy gets confirmed.
GEOTUS is a stable genius
Burr is finally out of the way.
