Another candidate is John Bolton’s former Chief of Staff.

I think declassifying documents was the deal breaker for Coats.

National intelligence is an oxymoron.

Even though it’s from CNN, this article is worth reading. It shows Coats is a real underminer of our President Trump and seems to support some of the worst “Russia collusion” frauds, even though it doesn’t mention which ones. My guess is Coats, among other things, actually believes the blatant lie that the “Russians hacked the DNC emails” even though it’s clear they were extracted by a DNC insider, probably the late Mark Rich, by downloading to a thumb drive, or similar device.

“What’s taking so long?”

One wonders if it’s that Trump has difficulty finding suitable potentially loyal people to fill these posts

Seems like he watched the hearings, saw Ratcliffe and said “he’s hired. Coats, you’re...”

Sessions must have left Trump stunned

I am anticipating a dream team for a second term which probably began This pat week as the supremes granted us 2.5 billion for The Wall, and as “Repeat that so I can run out the clock” Mueller shut the lid on impeachment.

The Donald has had an H-E-double toothpicks of a time locating non-blackmail-able by the Clintons and their FBI file Wasibgton types who know their way around Dems to fill posts.

Gobsmacked, I imagine.

Didn’t anticipate their making a New York City union run contracting project look like a beaver cleaver lemonade stand in comparison

He has and he will continue to adjust

I say he’s just getting started
