Dan Coats "steps down" to be replaced by Ratcliffe. The question is what happens between the two? Coats is leaving August 15th. who will step in until the Senate confirms Ratcliff?  Q drop 3532 The Scaramucci Model I think whoever it is will have the honor to release the big one. FISA!  I think the Senate will not be in session after Coats steps down Aug 15th until Sept 9th. So whoever is in the intern will be acting for at least 3 weeks. It appears that August 15th which is two weeks from this Thursday is when the fun begins.  Whoever this guy is will release the FISA docs. He then does a Whitaker.  ... I would love if it was Whitaker, I like that guy! (okay, it won't be Whitaker but I still like the guy)
