WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Thursday his administration has asked a New York-based private equity executive to lead a review of the U.S. intelligence community as he moves to crack down on "illegal leaks" of classified information.

And the liberal heads begin projectile exploding!
(How’s that for mixed metaphors?)
Trump said in his presser that he think he does not need this guy’s services, and that he will go with department heads to head up the investigations. He also referred to AG Sessions to look into it.
Cerberus does mergers, like the Safeway/Albertson’s one a couple years ago. He’s probably going to look at streamlining and re-orging the 17 intel groups.
“Stephen Feinberg is named as one of the people who runs a house for child prostitution in the D.C. area.”
Is this the same guy? I find it hard to believe Trump would nominate someone with this in his background.
In Greek mythology, Cerberus, often called the “hound of Hades”, is the monstrous multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving.

At about 5:00 in.
Good. It’s about time a private citizen, rather than an old boy military/intelligence insider had some oversight of that branch of government. After all, it is practically a 4th branch of government now, if it thinks it is powerful enough to pick fights with the Executive.
He owns DynCorp. Right?
