I’m grateful for the opportunity to make that clear to every American during the Senate trial.” It’s an assault on the separation of powers.
This impeachment is an assault on due process.
“I took an oath to defend the Constitution. On January 20, 2020, prior to the Senate impeachment trial, the Trump administration announced Ratcliffe as one of the congressional members of his impeachment team. Upon the announcement, Ratcliffe said, Accordingly, I have asked the President to nominate someone other than me for this position. The country we all love deserves that it be treated as an American issue. In his formal statement withdrawing from consideration, Ratcliffe said, “I do not wish for a national security and intelligence debate surrounding my confirmation, however untrue, to become a purely political and partisan issue. Ratcliffe’s nomination was met with scrutiny leading to a Trump tweet on August 2 nd 2019, stating he would be withdrawing Ratcliffe’s nomination claiming MSM scrutiny. Trump expressed confidence that Ratcliffe could “Rein in” the intelligence agencies which he asserted had “Run Amok” On July 28 th, 2019, Donald Trump announced he intended to nominate Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats as the Director of National Intelligence. Ratcliffe said that he had seen a text message between FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that referenced a “secret society,” – “We learned today about information that in the immediate aftermath of his election, there may have been a ‘secret society’ of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI, to include Page and Strzok, working against Trump”.Īll of Ratcliffe’s claims, which at the time the mainstream media claimed were false, have been revealed to be true based on the unfolding new from the Durham investigation. They were written by what a lot of people believe was Hillary Clinton’s de facto legal team, people that had supported her, even represented some of her aides.” Democrats “accused Donald Trump of a crime and then tried to reverse engineer a process to justify that accusation.” “The Mueller report and its conclusions weren’t from Robert Mueller. Ratcliffe is well known for criticizing the FBI and the special counsel investigation as being biased against Trump, staunchly supporting Trump’s criticism of the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, in particular the origins of the investigation, saying “it does appear that there were crimes committed during the Obama administration.” Ratcliffe stated that he has “seen no evidence” that Russian interference in the 2016 election helped get Trump elected. He has described court-approved surveillance of the Trump campaign as spying and stated the Russia probe may have been tainted by a criminal conspiracy. One of Trump’s biggest allies in congress in his fight against the Russian collusion hoax was John Ratcliffe.
