Earlier this morning, reports indicated Trump’s transition team had selected an Attorney General, CIA Director, and National Security Advisor.

AG: Sen. Jeff Sessions CIA Director: Rep. Mike Pompeo National Security Advisor: Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn

Politico confirms those individuals have accepted the cabinet posts:

Sen. Sessions: “I am humbled to have been asked by President-elect Trump to serve as Attorney General of the United States,” Sen. Jeff Sessions said in the statement. “My previous 15 years working in the Department of Justice were extraordinarily fulfilling. I love the Department, its people and its mission. I can think of no greater honor than to lead them. With the support of my Senate colleagues, I will give all my strength to advance the Department’s highest ideals. I enthusiastically embrace President-elect Trump’s vision for ‘one America,’ and his commitment to equal justice under law. I look forward to fulfilling my duties with an unwavering dedication to fairness and impartiality.”

Rep. Mike Pompeo “I am honored to have been given this opportunity to serve and to work alongside President-elect Donald J. Trump to keep America safe. I also look forward to working with America’s intelligence warriors, who do so much to protect Americans each and every day,” said Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), Trump’s choice to lead the CIA.

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn “I am deeply humbled and honored to accept the position as National Security Advisor to serve both our country and our nation’s next President, Donald J. Trump,” said retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the statement.

Sen. Sessions and Rep. Pompeo’s roles require Senate confirmation. Both appear to have requisite support.

Who the bloody blue blazes is Pompeo? I might be out of the loop, but I’ve never heard of him.

Pompeo is a West Point grad top of his class in the 1980’s...a Harvard Law Grad and a Tea Party guy with three terms as member of the House of Reps representing Kansas...sharp on top of it guy!

Thanks for the link——nice to know Pompeo (Rep-Kansas) is close to Pence and is not afraid of Muslims.

AND I QUOTE FROM THE LINK: “Weeks after the Boston marathon bombing in 2013, in a speech on the House floor, Pompeo not only accused Islamic faith leaders of not doing enough to condemn terrorist attacks, but also suggested they might be encouraging them.”

“When the most devastating terrorist attacks on America in the last 20 years come overwhelmingly from people of a single faith, and are performed in the name of that faith, a special obligation falls on those that are the leaders of that faith,” Pompeo said. “Instead of responding, silence has made these Islamic leaders across America potentially complicit in these acts and more importantly still, in those that may well follow.”

But last month, three militiamen were arrested in western Kansas (Pompeo’s home state) in an alleged plot to blow up an apartment complex that’s home to Somali Muslim refugees.

Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said statements like Pompeo’s were detrimental to policies that keep all Americans safe.

“We believe it’s counterproductive to our nation’s safety and security because they will act based on their faulty perceptions of Muslims and Islam,” Hooper said, “and will not carry out policies based on accurate and balanced information.”

No. We need someone there who has immigration experience. Plus, Coulter is kinda a wild card.

Cair and other Muslims around the world will be very scared of our CIA director!

The muslims and pro muslims in our CIA need to be looking for new jobs and over their shoulders for payback.
