senators usually squeeze onto the dais but richard burr limited how many senators could sit in the room at once. senators had to stay in their offices until it was there a term to ask ratcliffe questions. this is a do over for ratcliff to be the nation's top spy. president trump tapped the congressman to succeed resigning dni dan coats last summer but ratcliff pulled out after bipartisan questions arose about his qualifications. >> you start out because every democrat is against you, my concern was there's not a lot of margin for error. >> president trump tweeted that he told ratcliffe "how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people." the president never nominated somebody else. ratcliff emerged as one of mr. trump's most ardent defenders during impeachment hearings. president trump gave ratcliff a mulligan. democrats wondered what changed.
