“Bypassing Gordon for the role of acting director required her to leave or be removed from her current position, as the law states the deputy director should replace the director in the event of a change.”

All I know is that with the storm that is supposed be coming then it is very important that deep state actors are not in control. I don’t know much about her accept that she has been a clown(C_A) for a lot of years. And she has been working for a bad guy for a few years now. It would therefore be hard to believe that she is not tainted.

The media is so overtly anti-Trump, they can not write a single article without inserting their bias.

Good! It’s time Trump stopped elevating Swamp $hit in his agencies. I don’t give a fig how long she’s been there or whether or not Congress “likes” her, we have too many Swamp Rats in key government positions already. And FWIW, Wrey needs to go today! He’s a feckless dick!
To: sevlex
No, Peter Thiel, in the Scaramucci move.
