Ratcliffe has kept a pretty low profile this term, though he's surrounded by noisy clowns so it's not as hard as it might have been in other eras.
@newsguyusa Consider how damning it is that people here can readily list a dozen illegal things Wyden could mean by this and that none of them sounds out of character for the CIA.
@newsguyusa Classified Epstein stuff, I imagine.
Former Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, has been making noise the past day or two about Canadians uniting and the need to break away from dependency on the Usians.
Normally he pals around with people like Orban in his role as chairman of the so-called International Democracy Union.

It is fully legal for any congresscritter to 'read a text into the record' and that text can be ANYTHING due to something called the 'Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause'. Even highly classified material.

There's now a ton of caselaw after several administrations tried to prosecute anyway. But everyone who ever did it paid a price.
Does Tulsi Gabbard having the whistle blown on her, Intersect with the CIA?
@newsguyusa Using the CIA to end democracy in the US?
Ah, guess they want to send Trump to St. Helen finally.
@newsguyusa The list is getting longer:
- Venezuela
- Greenland
- Iran
- Epstein connections to who knows what intelligence services
- election interference via Russia
- Canada
- Mexico
- Cuba
- Georgia and whatever Tulsi is up to
- fill in the blanks or wait a few weeks
Is this a typical thing that US senators might do? 😦
Never seen an intelligence committee member send an SOS before. That's what this feels like.
@Edelruth @newsguyusa Wyden has a reputation for these signals: https://www.justsecurity.org/42341/ron-wyden-lights-batsignal/
@newsguyusa doesn't he get immunity from the speech and debate clause?
@newsguyusa Well if Holden Bloodfeast, respectable bipartisan, is concerned, then it *must* be bad
"Republican billionaires buying another pointless oil war?"
@newsguyusa I'm sure it's nothing to worry about 🙄
@newsguyusa
Interference in US elections ?
Assisting in seizing voter records?
Eliminating opposition in Venezuela?
Advanced Intel infiltration of Iran, ahead of open hostilities?
Just thinking of the possibilities that are not contradicted by our realities.
Revised thought. Gabbard is pro Russia.
Gabbard has the CIA in her stable of 18 intelligence agencies
The senator wrote to the CIA director
The arena in which they work is "outside the USA.
The complaint contains "many classified details".
Russia-Gabbard-details- ... Ukraine?
Sen. Wyden has "deep concerns about CIA activities."
And now I do, too
