2 top #intelligence ofcls directly contradicted one of the #Trump admin’s justifications for a #war with #Iran, repeating Wednesday the intelligence community’s conclusion that Iran was years away from developing missiles capable of hitting the #US.
Testifying before the #Senate Intelligence Cmte, #TulsiGabbard, the DNI, & #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA dir, would not say whether the intelligence community had determined that Iran would be able to launch such long-range missiles within 6 months.

The Wyden Siren: Senator’s Cryptic CIA Letter Follows A Pattern That’s Never Been Wrong

“His answer: We have to study it,” Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said of Hegseth’s response. “Well, in my view, they’ve studied it long enough…. Congress ought to be able to see it.”
The closed-door discussion also included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio; #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA director; & Gen #DanCaine, the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff. It centered on the 22 known boat strikes in the #Caribbean & eastern #Pacific that the #Trump admin has carried out since early Sept….

The #Trump admin’s strategy on #Venezuela, developed by Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, with help from #CIA dir #JohnRatcliffe, aims to oust #Maduro from #power.
Ratcliffe has said little about what his agency is doing in Venezuela. But he has promised that the CIA under his leadership would become more aggressive. During his confirmation hearing, Ratcliffe said he would make the CIA less averse to risk & more willing to conduct covert action when ordered by the president….

WTF?
#MichaelEllis, the deputy director of the #CIA, abruptly demoted a career #lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since Jan & installed himself in that role….
Ellis, who played a role in a series of controversies during #Trump’s first term, is also retaining his position as the No. 2 official at the CIA. #JohnRatcliffe, the agency director, had to authorize or could have overridden the move.

Meanwhile, earlier in July, #CIA Dir #JohnRatcliffe published a separate report reviewing the CIA's internal processes while compiling the 2017 assessment. On X, he claimed that #Obama ofcls had "manipulated intelligence" in an effort to "get #Trump."
However, like the newly declassified emails & memos, the CIA report doesn't appear to directly contradict the central thesis of the 2017 assessment: that #Russia attempted to influence the American public & their perceptions of the 2016 election.

A fresh CIA review agreed with earlier conclusions that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton — while criticizing what it called procedural flaws. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/03/world/politics/trump-cia-2016-assessment-putin/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #johnratcliffe #cia #us #donaldtrump #republicans #vladimirputin

Okay, so, doesn't that mean, all #SecondTrumpAdministration officials involved in #SignalGate should have their security clearance revoked? Of course, the hypocritical Republicans see no resemblance here whatsoever.

🚨 Must read: Timothy Snyder on #SignalGate:
"Signalgate: violating national security in order to violate rights"
'Our government is openly compromising our national security, the better to violate our rights. Its position is that it is worth risking the lives of soldiers abroad in order to be able to persecute civilians at home."
