Mary Anne Marsh, a political analyst for Fox News, raised concerns on Monday that President Donald Trump appeared to be consolidating his control over the U.S. intelligence community with the nomination of GOP Representative John Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats as director of national intelligence.
"It's more about protecting Trump than America," Marsh, who previously served as a senior adviser to Democratic Senator John Kerry, warned during a segment of Fox News' America's Newsroom on Monday. "John Ratcliffe has been all over the investigate the investigators [probe], who's doing that right now? [Attorney General] Bill Barr, so Donald Trump has consolidated his control over the intelligence committees at a time when he's given Barr unprecedented access and control over all the intelligence information, which we've never seen by an attorney general before," she said.
"Now he adds Ratcliffe," the analyst asserted. "So this is Trump locking down the intelligence community for his purposes, not national security purposes."

They’re supposed to be working for Obama!
You mean the same way Obama and Hilary did?
Right. Obama had it completely locked down.
Oh NOW you twits are suddenly concerned about the politicization of government services?
Where were you guys when Obama politicized the FBI?
Where were you guys when Obama politicized the IRS?
Where were you guys when the justice department looked the other way at Hillary’s email server? At the Clinton foundation? Not investigating the black panthers harassing voters? Fast and furious gun debacle? Obama’s fund raising using untraceable credit cards?
Suddenly Truno nominates somebody for the defense department which is entirely in his power to do and suddenly everyone’s losing their minds that he’s politicizing the intelligence community because he didn’t pick a Democrat?!
FU guys.
Which is a complete affront to them, as everyone knows the intelligence agencies are supposed to be serving the purposes of the Democratic party, as most have been doing ever since Harry Truman created the CIA.
Couldn’t it be about having people in place who will execute the president’s policies?
Then again, given the events of the last couple years, protecting himself from the intelligence community doesn’t sound unreasonable.
John Kerry goon!!!!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven’t seen you in a while and you made me DIE laughing when I read this :)
Mary Ann March is one of the most vile Democrats out there. She is pure evil. What a wicked -itch she is.
Enemies foreign and domestic.
Our domestic enemies are the biggest threat right now. And protecting Trump IS protecting America.
Marsh outs herself as a swamp critter.
Incredibly disingenuous heading, one of the worst. Mary Anne Marsh is nothing but the biggest political hack in the business. She is not a political “analyst” in any sense of the word, she is a Democrat apologist who worked for the failed Hillary Clinton campaign, as well as others.
Weaponized is the operative word concerning what Obama did with the IRS and FBI.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Gosh, the President, our Commander-in-Chief, in charge of intel? What would the Framers thing?!? Faux Snooze sure employs a lot of *******s and partisan media shills.
Now we can attach at least one name to the ongoing flow of venom. Mary Anne belongs in a deep and stinky MARSH, a polluted and oily SWAMP!
I smell Swamp Rat Flop Sweat.
I don't see a problem here.
Mary Anne Marsh is a democRAT fruitcake!
