1. It's shocking and frightening how little @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP @SenateDems and @NRSC know about #Erdogan and his family's connections to #ISIS and al-#Qaeda. I suspect @StateDept with #urkish affiliations and @ODNIgov that was penetrated during #45 are filtering the facts
2. for reasons that should concern Congress. I also think @POTUS @JoeBiden's PDB is nothing but a State and CIA marketing tool and lacks an unvarnished report of the raw intelligence that would disclose Erdogan is working with #Assad, #Iran and #Russia against the US and @NATO.
3. I never cared for the idea of the ODNI or its creation of a monolithic PDB. We should immediately return to a PDB that are reports compiled by the @CIA and @DefenseIntel that highlights areas in which the two agencies do not concur on a fact or assessment.
4. IMO ODNI was penetrated by the Russians during #45 and unlikely has been sanitized to the point that it can function as it was intended. Joe Biden pledged in the debate to stand up to Erdogan but for reasons unclear has become unable to do so. The idea that by placating
5. him Erdogan will decide to not block the accessions of #Sweden and #Finland is too remote to form a basis of US foreign policy. Expose Erdogan and his family corruption and deceit. The impacts on Turkey's domestic politics are insufficient to overcome the US
6. national security interests in defeating #ISIS and halting Russian aggression. @JakeSullivan46 @NSC_Spox @PentagonPresSec
