The President's tweet from yesterday (28 July) indicated that the Deputy is not his candidate: "The Acting Director will be named shortly."

I know Sue Gordon and she’s a career bureaucrat, nothing more. Like any senior SES, she’d never do anything that might smack of taking an unpopular (with anyone) position on anything. She’s the consummate go-along to get-along and get promoted if you hang around long enough bureaucrat and, with a little pressure from the CIA, FBI or any other agency, she’d retrench in the “sources and methods” defense (which is bullshit) just like Coats did.

“The Lawfare group, aka legal beach friends, allies of the DOJ/FBI small group and advocates for the position of the seditious coup plotters, are collectively hoping that Coats’ Principal Deputy Director Sue Gordon will replace the director; [See Here] while referencing 50 U.S. Code §3026 (a)(6)

(6)The Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence shall act for, and exercise the powers of, the Director of National Intelligence during the absence or disability of the Director of National Intelligence or during a vacancy in the position of Director of National Intelligence.”

Sue Gordon? The law cited reads that Trump has no alternative but to appoint her acting director, pending Ratcliffe’s confirmation. That’s not good. I recommend you read the article to find out why.

Why should they be commenting? They are out office and are no part of the decisions.

Sue Gordon can be fired, too.

Time for another “Hitler Finds Out...” video.

"The Acting Director will be named shortly."

"I may be only an acting director but don't call me shortly. And don't call me Shirley!"

Soft Coup and Impeachment Crew React to Removal of Dan Coats…

Partner, I learned so much from my boss and he had the same thing happened to him like Dan Coats has done to the American people.

My boss would reassign someone he could not fire so that reassignment would make the position open for folks who were willing and ready to do the job at hand. This is one way of putting folks who are loyal to President Trump in his cabinet.

The unity of their narrative is quite telling

The subversive vermin must be exposed and punished for their crimes. Period.

[upchuck]

I suggest President Trump and his advisers have already pondered this and have a solution that does NOT involve Sue Gordon. Of course the rats will object, judge shop and file an objection.

Should make for interesting theater at least.

All the Liberal Leftists are screaming that Trump is putting in “yes men” into all these various positions.

I say, “EXACTLY!” Most of the people who were selected to fill these various seats in 2017 were the recommendations of swamp RINO’s and swamp Republicans! Trump is cleaning house of that sewage and setting up his second Administration cabinet and alphabet agencies with people who want to help him help We the People, by DRAINING THE SWAMP!

MORE POWER TO HIM!

The Senior Executive Service needs to be nuked.
