Coats told lawmakers that North Korea "was unlikely to give up" its nuclear weapons. He also contradicted Trump's claim that Iran was seeking to gear up its nuclear program.

In contrast to Coats, Ratcliffe is a Trump loyalist who has backed Trump's claims that Mueller 's investigation into Russian election interference was a partisan plot to unseat Trump.

In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, he said the special counsel's report and its conclusions "weren't from Robert Mueller" but rather "were written by what a lot of people believe was Hillary Clinton's de facto legal team."

    I am curious. Where were the libs when BO and his crack team of idiots ignored the Russian attempts at influencing our elections?

    This is what happens when a potus values loyalty above all other qualifications

    Or doesn't want an intelligence apparatus set up to frame him and remove him from office

    Why wouldn't the POTUS want loyalty?

    Nobody voted for Coats

    It's the degree of loyalty that concerns most people. As a man with many minions, I expect you to understand this better than most.

    Sounds like this sycophant may not even make it out of committee. Must be pretty bad when the spine-less GOP senate is even balking, but again, this is what happens when loyalty is valued above all other qualifications (not that there were any other qualifications in regard to this nominee).

    Loyalty hasn't been an issue before

    I'm trying to figure out what's so objectionable about the quotes in your link that were attributed to Ratcliffe. Mueller's investigation as we learned this past week wasn't being carried out by Mueller and it was a partisan driven investigation. How you look into the Trump Tower meeting and then completely ignore who is was that the Russian attorney met with both before and after the Trump Tower meeting tells me that this wasn't an investigation that was honestly looking into what really happened.

    It must be very hard to work at a level in this administration where one makes public statements of policy. Never know when Trump is going to come in behind and complete contradict.

    Trump has a habit of placing people in administrative positions that work against his policies. Coates is one of these people and needs to go, as do Bolton and Pompeo. Trump has every right to contradict a statement that works against his policy.

    Let me guess you think Trump is an interventionist

    JFC indeed

    If Hillary had won we'd be in two more wars by now because that's what her masters want

    The issue is the managerial incompetence. If you're consistently contradicting those who work under you, and are unable to present a unified message, it becomes clear that you're the one who is unable to effectively to communicate within your own organization. This shit wouldn't fly from a middle manager at any mid-size company. That it continues to come from the highest office we have is just baffling.

    Do I think people give a fuck about the effectiveness of the federal government, an already inherently inept organization? Yes.

    Shocking to think that Trump can't get along with career politicians, political appointees and bureaucrats in the swamp of DC.

    It's not like he ran on a platform against the deep state or anything.

    Imagine a bombastic NY Real Mogul not getting along with life-long DC types. Unimaginable! The country must be in crisis! Impeachment Now!

    I won. And I didn't even vote for the guy.

    You lost. After pouring your heart and soul into Hillary.

    I feel your pain.
