Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in 2020 to get Trump re-elected, a disclosure to Congress that angered Trump, who complained that Democrats would use it against him.

None of this comes as any surprise.nyti.ms/2uTOgJ7
Trump was so enraged that acting-DNI Maguire's staff briefed Congress about this national security threat from Russia, he replaced Maguire as his permanent DNI pick and replaced him with Trump lackey, Richard Grenell, who has ZERO intelligence experience.
In the wake of ODNI's briefing to Congress that Russia is interfering in 2020 to get Trump re-elected, Trump fired acting-DNI Maguire.

Also departing the senior ranks of ODNI: ODNI General Counsel Jason Klitenic and Principal Deputy DNI Andrew Hallman.

The Russia Interference Hoax--Deja Vu All Over Again

"Admiral Bill McRaven is proving himself to be an ignorant buffoon. Yes, I'm calling a so-called military hero a clown.
turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyr…
He is out today with a despicable op-ed attacking President Trump for removing ACTING DNI Joe Maguire. Here is a sampling of McRaven's stupidity:

"Edmund Burke, the Irish statesman and philosopher, once said: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to..
do nothing.” Over the course of the past three years, I have watched good men and women, friends of mine, come and go in the Trump administration — all trying to do something — all trying to do their best. Jim Mattis, John Kelly, H.R. McMaster, Sue Gordon, Dan Coats and,

#BREAKING: Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia is interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get Trump re-elected.

Trump responded by ousting Joseph Maguire from his position as acting director of national intelligence. nyti.ms/2uTOgJ7
"During the briefing to the House Intelligence Committee, Mr. Trump’s allies challenged the conclusions, arguing that Mr. Trump has been tough on Russia..."

ie, Republicans are going to let Russia interfere in the election as long as it helps Trump.
Speaking on @MSNBC right now, Adam Goldman of @nytimes says House Republicans were "furious" when intelligence officials said Russia was trying to interfere in the election in favor of Trump.

They weren't furious at Russia. They were furious at the intelligence officials.

This is why we have a new DNI- this briefing. I have been predicting Trump would roll out the carpet for Russia:
“Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get Trump re-elected.” nytimes.com/2020/02/20/us/…
Now Trump has installed a crony who has no intelligence background as DNI, and will do nothing to stop Russia from subverting our democracy again. We have a Putin puppet regime in charge. Where are the patriots in leadership to save our democracy?!!
.@SpeakerPelosi you must inform the American people of what the House learned on Russian interference in 2020. Please do not repeat the mistakes of 2016 and allow #MoscowMitch (and now Trump) to silence our response while Russia subverts our democracy. Inform the American people!

It was revealed Thursday that one of the reasons President Donald Trump fired his director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire ..
was because he briefed the House Intelligence Committee. Now it’s become clear why Trump may not want Democrats to know about that briefing.
