@Region Philbis,
Now they're leaving before they even start.
@Region Philbis,
still searching for a replacement... no rush...
Quote:Ratcliffe no longer pick for Director of National Intelligence
Trump on Friday abruptly dropped his plan to nominate Representative John Ratcliffe,
Republican of Texas, as the nation’s top intelligence official, following bipartisan questions
about his qualifications and pushback over whether he had exaggerated his resume.
Mr. Ratcliffe, an outspoken supporter of Mr. Trump, has come under intense scrutiny since
the president declared Sunday on Twitter that the lawmaker was his pick to succeed Dan Coats,
who is stepping down as director of national intelligence on August 15. The selection generated
scant enthusiasm among senators of both parties who would have been tasked with deciding
whether to confirm him.

@hightor,
My coffee grinds aren't able to speak to the exact day. They just said he was on the way...
Something tells me that Mick Mulvaney is on thinning ice...
Apparently Trump is angry that Mick didn't and doesn't have a strategy to defend him in the wake of the disclosure of his (Trump's) conversation with Volo Zelensky.
@Region Philbis,
Let's see if he's hit with treble damages and/or jail time. In the federal pen (insider trading is a federal matter), since the public safety factor is probably not an issue (I doubt if he's at risk to become a violent offender), then he'd be put into a minimal prison (so, maybe Kentucky). See:
