Ratcliffe is a long time, experience, government Civil Servant, JUST WHAT WE DONT NEED IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING, MUCH LESS THE CIA! I'm sure many will sing his praises...but we'll soon see if he does anything to root out these "Deep Staters!" And if not, He Needs To Go!

It's supposed to be against the law for CIA to operate inside the United States.
