Ah yes, John Ratcliffe appointed by Trump as Director of National Intelligence for the second time. The guy who had to withdraw his first nomination because he lied in his resume saying he convicted terrorists when he hadn’t. The guy who follows QAnon on Twitter.

Sure, I believe what he has to say.

So, is that worse than Trump's "I take full responsibility, but it's not my fault" response to Covid-19?.

I guess you had to walk up hill to and from school as well, right?

I feel sorry for them.

I dont, they won a cup.

But they did not position themselves to be a dynasty.

To be one of the great teams that have been built the past few decades.

That's not a quote from John Radcliffe. Its a quote from the 50 former intelligence agents that Adam Schiff is using as evidence to spread more Russian disinformation.

Hats off to them for winning a cup.

But that's not the goal, just to win once and throw your hat in.

I am not speaking from a leafs fan. From a perspective looking at the great teams the past few decades.

Chicago, LA, Boston. Dynasties that had to make minor adjustments but still created dynasties.

TB took advantage of their no state tax...Good for them, nice work....but then they (frank)ed themselves by getting even more greedy and giving the Joe blows NMC so they will sign for unbelievably cheap instead of just a discount.

Again, congrats on the cup. They are a Carolina Hurricane cup winner, not a Blackhawks,Bruins or Kings winner.

and hey that's fine, Id take that for my Leafs but the way they built their team through contracts was unsustainable to create long term success.

Or they can't move their contracts because the pandemic happened and you can't even move good or fair value contracts right now.

Their plan was fine (I would say great) - but the pandemic kind of changed everything.

I was joking. They built an amazing team and have lots of great pieces left. They were unlucky to hit a flat cap that makes unloading pieces more difficult but they’re far from dead.

I'm curious: LA - with one cup in the history of the franchise (52 years); and Boston (1 cup in 46 years) ; what do you think makes them eligible to be considered dynasties?

Did they date Linda Evans and Joan Collins?

And if so, what does that make the hockey team from Dallas?

Trump-Russia collusion.

Crowdstrike CEO Shawn Henry, former FBI Mueller lackey.

"We did not have concrete evidence that the data was exfiltrated from the DNC, bit we have indicators that it was exfiltrated."

"There's not evidence that they were actually exfiltrated, there's circumstantial evidence but no evidence that they were actually exfiltrated."

"There is circumstantial evidence that data was exfiltrated off the network. We didn't have a sensor in place that saw data leave. We said that the data left based on the circumstantial evidence. That was the conclusion that we made."

"Sir, I was just trying to be factually accurate, that we didn't see the data leave, but we believe it left, based on what we saw."

Hilary funds DNC
DNC hires Perkins Coie
Perkins Coie hires Fusion GPS
Fusion GPS hires Christopher Steele

Perkins Coie hires Crowdstrike
Crowdstrike finds no evidence of hack
Schiff hides evidence for years
Hilary rants about 18 intelligence agencies, none of whom ever examined the DNC servers.
