  10. 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.

  11. Not the main plot today, but thinking its worth a refresher on John Ratcliffe—

  13. “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….

  15. 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.

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….

  16. 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.

  17. 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.
