The real reason POTUS withdrew John Ratcliffe from being confirmed as DNI The real reason POTUS withdrew John Ratcliffe from being confirmed as DNI, is due to three Republican Congressmen from Texas announcing their retirement.  Which would mean Repubs would have to find four replacements, definite DEEP STATE ploy!  Ingenous plan by POTUS to flush these traitors out!  Now come on out Pete Hoekstra as already Senate confirmed acting DNI. The list of Republican Reps aligned with [CS] that won't seek reelection.

Fearing that no way POTUS will lose the 2020 election, this Deep State plan is to help the Dems to hold onto the House and keep up their impeachment shenanigans and stop the FISA investigations. Nothing can stop what is coming, NOTHING!
