In mid-February at a meeting with Congressional leaders in Munich, corrupt psychopath Mike Pompeo made a commitment: the Afghan peace deal would NOT require the Afghan government to release Taliban prisoners. Then, the deal at the end of February required them to release 5,000. Not in exchange for a peace deal even.... just for a week cease fire.
Please note: the Republican Party lost its mind when President Obama released five Taliban guys to get US Army soldier Bowe Bergdahl back home. Now Trump cuts a deal to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners.

In July 2019, we wrote at length about a sycophant becoming the Director of National Intelligence. Trump had just nominated Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas). However, a week latet Ratcliffe was dropped from consideration to be DNI in the face of reports that he misrepresented his record as a prosecutor in terrorism-related cases.
NOW RATCLIFFE HAS BEEN NOMINATED AGAIN IN LATE FEBRUARY 2020.
