How did Jerry Boykin not make this list?

Trump move against Deep State. His enemies think he’s too stupid and out of his depth to know what he’s doing:

2019 will be very interesting

So is Mattis. That isn't a good argument. Boykin was a reformer and knows where military intelligence needs to be reformed.

Peter Pace is another one.

I'd say the President is getting some good coaching lately...Between the Whitaker Aoppointment and this little Board, he'll be keeping a watchful eye on the CIA and FBI.

Shouldn't have to...but there's a reality to it.

His enemies are too stupid and out of their depth to even begin to understand what he’s up to ;-)

Pride goeth before the fall, and those slimy, evil liber-alls (The WONDER BRA!) are puffed up tighter than an over-filled Macy’s Parade balloon.

This looks like something that should have been called into action two years ago!

The dormant board created by former President Dwight Eisenhower

They almost make it sound like an outdated tool that hasn't been used by recent Presidents. All recent administrations since Reagan had a PAIB, though Trump had not yet activated the board during his first 2 years. It would seem Trump has plenty of people advising him on these matters already, so this move makes me think he isn't happy with, or doesn't trust the info he is getting. I hope he can trust these folks.

Still waiting for Trump to make good on his order to “immediately declassify” the FISA docs. That was over two months ago, and yet nothing.

Reviewing the intelligence agencies is all good and fine but the more immediate need is to reveal the FISA docs to the American people. Nothing could be more important than exposing who was involved in the subversion of our elections and the undermining of an American president. Its past time we see those docs.

“I hope he can trust these folks”.

That’s right. The Deep State is vicious and ruthless and who knows what offers “they can’t refuse” they’ll receive.

New appointees to the board include Oracle CEO Safra Ada Catz; former Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; former White House economic adviser Jeremy Katz; Goldman Sachs managing director and University of Virginia adjunct law professor James Donovan; former CIA and FBI counterterrorism official Kevin E. Hulbert; and a New Jersey resident named David Robertson.

The new members join board chairman Stephen Feinberg, a billionaire hedge fund manager and military contractor appointed by Trump in May, and vice-chairwoman Samantha Ravich, appointed in August. The board historically has had a small staff and office space in the New Executive Office Building near the White House. Members have security clearances and generally meet quarterly.

Hmm, Oracle, Ezra Watnik Cohen or whatever his name is connection... And "a New Jersey resident". Interesting.

Nobody gives you power. You have to take it.

Comes to mind every time I watch Trump face down these threats.

Does he have the power to dissolve the FBI and CIA? I think that should fix things.

I pray President Trump does the same to investigate the massive voter fraud that was perpetrated during the midterms.

Putting a Goldman Sachs guy on the board means it is useless. That is as Deep State as it gets.

“...and a New Jersey resident named David Robertson.”

Pres. Trump should have picked a Virginia resident named VanShuyten.
