Ratcliffe urges next president to revamp DOJ, tackle cultural issue.

Former Director of National Intelligence: Politicization of Justice Department is a Cultural Problem

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has expressed concerns about the politicization of the Justice Department, stating that it has become a “cultural problem.” In an interview with Sunday Morning Futures, Ratcliffe emphasized the need for the next president to address this issue by not only replacing key positions but also transforming these entities from within.

“I think the next president is really going to have to do more than just replace the attorney general and the FBI director, but really turn these entities inside out and address the cultural problem that has existed ever since Eric Holder said that he was Barack Obama’s wingman and began to embed partisans throughout the FBI and the Department of Justice,” Ratcliffe explained.

Ratcliffe believes that labeling this problem as small would be a mistake, as it is a pervasive cultural issue within the Department of Justice. He points to the disparity of treatment within the department, which many Republicans argue creates a “two-tiered system of justice.”

“To identify this as a small problem is a mistake,” Ratcliffe emphasized. “It’s a cultural problem, it’s not a one-off issue. We’re seeing it over and over again where there is a disparity of treatment within the Department of Justice.”

One example Ratcliffe highlights is the lack of progress in investigating President Joe Biden’s possession of classified documents while he was a senator. He believes that this case should be straightforward to prove, yet there has been no action from the special counsel appointed by the Biden administration.

“That’s the easiest case in the world, you know, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, and yet we’ve heard nothing from the special counsel appointed by the Biden administration in that case,” Ratcliffe expressed. “And so again, it underscores the disparity that we’re seeing.”

Furthermore, Ratcliffe goes on to describe the alleged “criminal bribery scheme” involving the Biden family’s foreign business dealings as “organized crime.” He believes it is more than fair to consider it as such.
