Senator Jon #Ossoff: “Disagreements between the president & VP about US plans & intentions would be of obvious interest to foreign intelligence services, would it not?

#Ratcliffe: Yes

Ossoff: And they were discussing the timing of sending US aircrews into enemy airspace where they faced an air defense threat.

Ossoff: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?

Ratcliffe: No.

Ossoff: This is an embarrassment.
