Red 6?

JUST IN - Acting defense secretary Christopher C. Miller ordered the director of the National Security Agency to install a former GOP political operative as the NSA’s top lawyer. It is unclear what the NSA will do (WP).

The political operative (somebody Ellis) used to work for Devin Nunes. The info comes from the Washington Compost which quotes
"four sources familiar with the matter."

Hmm, from comments at that link, from WaPo so their bias is showing, some relevant bits from the article, more at link but it's so larded with WaPo-spew it's nauseating.

White House official and former GOP political operative Michael Ellis named as NSA general counsel
November 9, 2020 at 4:55 p.m. PST

The Pentagon general counsel has named a White House official and former GOP political operative to be the top lawyer at the National Security Agency, the U.S. government’s largest and most technically advanced spy agency, U.S. officials said.

Ellis, who was chief counsel to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), a staunch supporter of President Trump and then-chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has been at the White House since early 2017, when he became a lawyer on the National Security Council and then this year was elevated to senior director for intelligence.

In March 2017, he gained publicity for his involvement in a questionable episode involving Nunes, who was given access at the White House to intelligence files that Nunes believed would buttress Trump’s baseless claims of the Obama administration spying on Trump Tower.

News reports stated that Ellis was among the White House officials who helped Nunes see the documents — reportedly late at night, earning the episode the nickname “the midnight run.” The precise timing of the visit is unclear, and Nunes says it took place during daylight hours. Ellis, if he passes the background and security clearance checks, would be succeeding Glenn Gerstell, who was general counsel from 2015 through January of this year. Gerstell practiced law for nearly 40 years at an international law firm, Milbank LLP, where he had been managing partner of the firm’s Washington office and led its Singapore and Hong Kong offices.

Gerstell declined to comment on Ellis’s selection. But, he noted, the agency and its legal office have “a deep tradition of being nonpartisan and it would be important for anybody in the position of general counsel to discharge the job that way.”
