According to the article, Pence was responsible for bringing Coats into the DNI role. I had a brief association with Coats in the early 1990’s when we attended the same church. He seemed pretty slimy then and nothing in his public life has moderated my early opinion. Unlike many here, I have never gotten comfortable with Pence. The fact that Jeff Flake is one of his best friends and that he was a prime actor in having General Flynn fired have contributed to my distrust. He is running the Coronavirus Task Force and has given Fauci, Birx, Redfield and Hahn free reign in undermining Trump and the nations. Just my opinion - not trying to change anyone’s mind. I will not actively support him or Nikki Haley in 2023.
