There’s a lot to scrutinize about John Ratcliffe’s big announcement about Iran and Russia, but an important piece of news about it is getting lost: Without doing so directly, Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence actually debunked one of the president’s biggest lies about the election.
Much discussion of DNI Ratcliffe’s remarks to the media has focused on his claim that Iran is sending fake threatening emails to voters — purportedly from the right-wing extremist Proud Boys — to help Trump. As many have noted, the idea that this benefits Trump makes little sense on its face.
But Ratcliffe also said something else in his Wednesday evening comments that is oddly getting overlooked: He indirectly but unequivocally confirmed that the claims that Trump has been making about voter fraud, particularly in vote-by-mail, are false.
In that way, this affair actually demonstrates just how low Trump has sunk in trying to corrupt the election: validating Trump’s efforts to undermine confidence in the integrity of the voting is a line that even Ratcliffe, who’s widely seen as a devoted Trump loyalist, won’t cross.
