This is why Ratcliffe held that press conference

[octoberlib]

and didn’t take any questions.

1. LIke i said, the gop and now i guess FBI, or part of it, are ATTACKING us...

ATTACKING us

[uponit7771]

23. +1, Odonnel is pointing out Wray said very little in substance

[Nevilledog]

2. Sounds about right.

[LisaL]

3. Emails telling people to vote for Trump or else are somehow interfering against Trump?

Funny.

[doc03]

4. I am confused. Iran is behind e-mails threatening people that don't vote for Trump.

Then they say that it was meant to harm Trump? WTF How does threatening people that vote for Biden harm Trump?
But they have zero information on Russia interference.

[Takket]

7. i'm sure the rationale is that this is a "false flag" operation.......

not that i agree with it but basically they threaten people with harm in the name of drumpf to turn people TOWARDS drumpf in retaliation.

[doc03]

8. Now after this tomorrow night Trump will claim Iran is interfering with the

election to help Biden. This is worst than Comey.

[malaise]

15. Which is why he wanted to change the debate to foreign policy only

The lunatic is outconning himself

[StarryNite]

5. Total Bullshit

[Atticus]

6. Can you say "Orwellian", boys and girls? nt

[moondust]

9. The Rat

is a Trump Toady with no credibility. This could be an attempt to get the focus off Russia and paint Trump as a victim to help his failing campaign. Plus blame Iran and maybe you can finally start Bolton's war!

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

19. Yep, opening the door to pull some hijinks in the Arabian Sea...

... eom.

[notinkansas]

32. It seemed that way to me.

It sounded like the whole purpose of that display was to paint a target on Iran.

[whttevrr]

10. This is rat fucking, right?

Every. Fucking. Day.

WTF!?

[dhol82]

11. And it will only get worse over the next two weeks.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

20. That is why they wanted Roger Stone on the streets and freely available...

... for, "campaign advice"...

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Yup, lies right out in the open and picked up by all media

Some will question it, Fox will take it as truth.

I'm seeing it as pathetic in a way. How much % of voters could this flip in 13 days? Undecideds are few.

It confirms Trump's whining, maybe that's the purpose. Surely a theme for Trump to attack with tomorrow night.

It just reeks of Trump's war on truth, screams of fake news. He's creating his own fake narrative and trying to sell it to us.

[birdographer]

17. He's desperate

and that's all there is to it. He is terrified of losing and he is doing anything he can to try to get a few more votes. I don't think 8 or 10 more votes will help him that much.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

13. Wray

cemented to me, he has to be replaced in a new administration.

[moonscape]

24. I've thought highly of Wray through this nightmare

as someone who told us the truth, when he was allowed to speak. There’s a reason 45 can’t stand him.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall him putting emphasis on Iran or saying this is against 45, rather was trying to assure that they were on top ofthings, the election would be fair, etc. To me he was threading the needle and I do believe has his head down and is working on our behalf.

I’d have to listen to his words again to make sure my impression is what I heard, but right now that’s how I see it.

[Volaris]

14. Hahahhaha... HOW many of these got sent? Cause each one is a federal count, right?

[Roland99]

16. Gotta defend those proud boys without being toooo obvious

[crickets]

18. That and spin it to help donnie in some way. nt

[UCmeNdc]

21. Trump is destroying the USA

[rickford66]

22. Oh. Reverse psychology. Ya. The clever base can figure that out.

[SayItLoud]

26. It's NOTHING compared to tRUMP having a SECRET account in China! This is deflection. NT

[Mossfern]

29. Absolutely

[Lock him up.]

27. This confirms the (ahum) proud babies are domestic terrorists (once more)

and now ALL of them should get arrested and charged as domestic terrorists.

LOCK.EM.ALL.UP

[Mossfern]

30. Actually

this press 'conference' gives cover to the Proud Boys....blaming Iran.
Proud Boys are the victims here - and, of course, Trump, the perpetual victim.

[Lock him up.]

31. We can't believe anything they say...

The pRoud incels who want to play video games in 3D by threatening people should get arrested and charged of domestic terrorism.

LOCK.EM.ALL.UP

[czarjak]

28. Up is down...

"And you will not deny it". Says Steven Miller.

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. Seriously - is that all that Ratcliffe said was designed to "damage President Trump"???

I heard on the radio he said it was anti-Trump, but I thought the lack of detail was because it was a brief bulletin.

Ratcliffe is implying that everyone thinks that whatever the Proud Boys do, they've been ordered to by the Trump campaign. So news of Proud Boy threats would hurt the Trump vote the most.

[Mossfern]

34. He (Trump) could have avoided all that

if only he had denounced them completely.
It's on Trump, it's on the Proud Boys because they acted in the way that made the threats credible and maybe it's on Iran as well in concert with Russia, in concert with the Trump campaign.

See?
Simple.
