In its first year, the Trump administration stacked up quite a few substantial wins. As figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi have dominated headlines, one unsuspecting figure has emerged as an invaluable part of the President's team.

From Breitbart:

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has emerged as President Donald Trump's "quiet hammer," a source close to the White House told Breitbart News for an in-depth profile of the world's premier spy agency in the first year back in office for Trump.

This source specifically pointed to how Trump sent Ratcliffe down to Venezuela just 12 days after the daring mission in which US forces captured now-ousted leader Nicolas Maduro. Ratcliffe, Trump's highest-ranking and first cabinet-level official to visit the nation since Maduro's capture, met with acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez.

"Ratcliffe has become Trump's quiet hammer," this source close to the White House said. "He goes in, accomplishes whatever mission the President gave him, then disappears back into the shadows. The Agency seems to have adopted the same approach, so Trump actually deserves credit for turning the CIA into an instrument of America First power."

According to Breitbart, Director Ratcliffe has spent the past year reforming and reshaping his agency, undoing the damage done by previous administration. In particular, Director Ratcliffe has taken issue with the politicization of the CIA, stripping it of all DEI programs.

The Director has also pushed for absolute transparency, declassifying thousands of documents. The CIA has released documents and findings on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., the Russia collusion hoax, Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, and the origins of COVID-19.

Additionally, the CIA under Director Ratcliffe has been laser-focused on countering and standing up to China. Breitbart notes that, over the past year, the agency "released a series of Mandarin-language videos targeted at recruiting Chinese officials to help the American cause." And, according to Breitbart, this effort has been "enormously successful."

As Director Ratcliffe and the CIA continue to advance the President's Make America Great Again agenda, let's pray for them! Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
