He has to be protected by the current guys now. This appointment should probably wait until closer to inauguration.
Re Bongino: Dan would be a great hire for Director, but I see him more as chairman of a board of visitors that reviews the structure and behavior of the SS. Put a Special Forces colonel (retired or currently active) at the helm of the agency.
I think your answer is correct and I’ve heard the same from a good source before. Waiting until the inauguration or just after is a better bet because the present people want to keep their jobs and are working hard (now).
