I have worked with some of the dedicated public servants under attack, including NSC Intel Director Maher Bitar. Maher is a brilliant foreign policy and intelligence expert and committed American patriot. He has never wavered in furthering America's national security interests. https://twitter.com/emilyhorne46/status/1354786056198098944
In the same way that Jewish Dems strongly oppose the vile dual loyalty claims made against our community & another committed public servant, Anne Neuberger, we oppose the egregious smears against Maher Bitar. These attacks are rooted in the same false assumptions, racism & bias.
Strongly agree with @RepAdamSchiff that Maher Bitar is a “superb choice” for the NSC, with an “extraordinary” breadth of talent and expertise. As Rep. Schiff said, “I can’t think of anyone more suited to the role than Maher." https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/21/maher-bitar-biden-nsc-461213
He helped Adam Schiff impeach Trump. Now he’s joining Biden’s NSC.

Maher Bitar served as the general counsel for House Intelligence Committee Democrats before coming on board the new administration.
