Hell of a start if he just walks out his swearing in and releases it first thing!

You ain't lying. Dude gives zero fricks. The fact that he's gay means democrats have to be very carful in their approach to attacking him which cracks me up.

Why do I all of sudden feel like none of it will be released?

First give us red-meat that "Obama officials" documents have been declassified.

Then leave it up to the new DNI whether to release.

Grenell was "acting director" and there is no way he'd pass Senate Approval for DNI even though he passed/was approved for German Ambassador. Grenell as "acting director" was limited to x days or ratification of true DNI.

Senate would never approve/ratify him now. He's not under their control, so no approval.

Cannot allow a wolf to oversee the henhouse, Senate needs a Karen!

Grenell could have released them, this is Trump telling Ratcliffe to put on his big boy pants, and yes he should release them this afternoon.........particularly "that other stuff" that is not part of the transcript, that other stuff sounds very very interesting.

We gone see if he comes in like Wray or if he comes in like a bull in a china shop. If he releases them ASAP then maybe he isn't swamp. I would like to have hope but I really don't.

how did we go from the GOPe saying no way to DNI Ratcliffe sworn in today?

I believe Turtle, Warner & Burr said NO WAY to Ratcliffe.

Yeah - I wouldn’t get too excited over the transcripts as Schiff asked for them to be released.

.....but those other docs - I saw where a Sr Intelligence official said they are significant in understanding the origins and predicate for the Russia investigation

Yeah, I watched the hearings, we shall see-- but they liked him too much. (Especially Burr in his scruffy beard)

Grenell as acting DNI combined with Burr getting tossed as chair for insider trading.

They had their choice of the lesser of two evils, in their minds, and Ratcliffe is it.
