Senate republicans confirm John Ratcliffe as intelligence chief

The Senate confirmed Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) as the director of national intelligence in a 49-44 party-line vote on Thursday.

Why it matters: Ratcliffe, a vocal ally of President Trump, now heads an intelligence community that has faced consistent criticism from the president and is in the midst of political firestorms surrounding the prosecution of Michael Flynn and the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Ratcliffe will also be able to decide what documents are publicly released in expanding congressional investigations into Obama administration officials, especially Joe Biden, Trump's presumptive 2020 opponent.

Worth noting: Ratcliffe's predecessor, Dan Coats, was confirmed in 2017 with a 85-12 vote.

3. As a Texan I can tell you he is worse than that - he is the personification of everything you would

not want in a government official. We have some real nutjobs in this state.

7. They should just call it "Trump Security"

or "GOP Security". They certainly don't give a damn about the nation.
