Pelosi has sent a letter to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher C. Miller.
Why?
She is attempting to block the installation of a new NSA Counsel candidate appointed by President Trump.
It is well known that the NSA’s new top lawyer is a Trump loyalist.
Is that why Pelosi is worried?
Specifically, she claims that the move is “highly suspect” since there are apparently only 2 days left in President Trump’s time in the White House.
Pelosi claims that this move “is highly irregular and highly suspect.”
Ummm… like impeaching an outgoing President just days before his term ends?
Pelosi published the text of her letter through the Speaker.Gov page:
Dear Acting Secretary Miller:
I am writing to follow up on my phone conversation with you earlier today, during which I expressed my deep concern about the irregularities involved in the selection of the General Counsel of the National Security Agency (NSA). I ask that you immediately cease plans to improperly install Michael Ellis as the new NSA General Counsel. Additionally, with a copy of this letter to the Acting Inspector General, I am also requesting an investigation into the circumstances of the NSA General Counsel selection process. I have serious concerns about your statement that this process was free from political interference.

Love his policies, love his personality almost as much.
My understanding is this is a career position, not a political position. The guy applied for the position and was rated 1st, I believe, in the selection process, (back in November), and the agency has been slow walking the process for him to assume the position. It is very hard to fire a career employee and they don’t want him to be able to “muck up” their plans to destroy the military.
This is the same problem PDJT had. There were too many “career” folks in positions to slow walk or totally ignore his policy directions. His Secretaries could not fire them and transfer these level of employees is also very difficult. Now the shoe is on the other foot and Nancy does not like it.
