Will Hurd: What is our greatest threat? Director Maguire: It's not Kinetic Strike or Russia or China or Iran, our greatest issue is maintaining the integrity of our elections. He also had something about Cyber Warfare but it's interesting to see Hurd ask this question of both Mueller and Maguire and they both said election security.

I mean, he's having to fight a war with Russia but with so much aid on the line, what can he do but try to get it out of President Crimes?

If the OLC is granted authority by statute that would have to be rescinded by Congress. Although it appears to be controlled by a presidential appointee so if the next president wants to undo some bullshit they can just have it issue new memoranda, right?

I don't think any of this is nearly convincing as Ratcliff thinks it is. Edit: Sorry, more context. Ratcliff is going all in on "the whistleblower is not a direct witness! why do we care what the whistleblower says." It is very dumb.

So former DNI Coats resigns July 28 and leaves Aug 15, and the whistleblower report is Aug 12. Bets that the WH felt they needed to get the fix in and pushed out Coats?

Oh come on, Ratcliffe. You can't say that citing mainstream media is bad when the loving white house is saying on cable news every night "YEAH, HERE ARE OUR CRIMES." So if it gets said on Anderson Cooper it's not admissible in court?

No, Republican strategy here is to just grandstand and say random poo poo that might get repeated as sound bites because they know any critical analysis of their statements won't get the same level of play as the statements themselves.
