August 2020 – Russia
Shocked & appalled—I just left a 90 minute classified briefing on foreign malign threats to our elections. From spying to sabotage, Americans need to see & hear these reports.

Protect our democracy from destruction by declassifying key intel describing the danger of foreign subterfuge to our elections. Congress has been briefed, but sworn to secrecy—unacceptably.

JUST OUT: Volume 5 of the Senate Intelligence Committee's Russia report, focused on counterintelligence threats and vulnerabilities. It's 966 pages long. https://t.co/xr6ZSx7U69

We found no evidence of “collusion”
But we did find troubling actions by the FBI, particularly their willingness to rely on “Steele Dossier” pic.twitter.com/S5hiKDgURB

MORE: “Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.” https://t.co/uS3RmKjICr

Stone knows Trump LIED to Robert Mueller about his knowledge of WikiLeaks. @realDonaldTrump lied to the American people and will continue to do so. pic.twitter.com/zRmbljSncU
CONFIRMED: ODNI told congressional officials that it will still provide written briefings on election security, but that they should not expect verbal in-person briefings on the topic, which give members an opportunity to ask questions & challenge briefers https://t.co/xsLTvEIOKU

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s decision to cancel all election security briefings for the Congress is a shocking abdication of its responsibility to keep Congress informed.

The American people have both the right and the need to know that another nation, Russia, is trying to help decide who their president should be.

Read my statement with @RepAdamSchiff: https://t.co/9CNkx5oKOs
National Intelligence Director Ratcliffe tells @FoxNews that China is using a "massive and sophisticated influence campaign" to target the US election that dwarfs what any other country is doing - including at local & state level
— Josh Lederman (@thejoshlederman) August 30, 2020
Ratcliffe is the opposite of a patriot. He is pursuing Donald Trump’s political interests while undermining America’s national security. He should be impeached and removed from office, but in the absence of that certainly should be held in contempt by the House.
