She had received such glowing praise from the likes of Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rosenstein, etc. So much so that I can’t help but wonder if they intended to scuttle her ascension.

After Clapper’s ruinous and corrupt reign as the head of the DNI, nothing could be any more in disarray.

"Trump gets to name the ACTING head, as well as nominate. He can sit on the nomination, even to the point of never making one. Did that for a number of US Attorneys, e.g., Huber."

excellent news. Thank you for that.

Sorry about the formatting.

I was in a hurry and it took a bit of time to strip out source code of all the ads and then .... I got bored...

Twitter HATES that the President uses them to reach many, many millions.

I wonder if they would ever dare shut his account down.

Fair point but we can’t make heads or tails out of this. We’re way on the outside.

Scaramucci has been drifting in the wrong directions lately. I used to think he was a Trump loyalist, but now I am beginning to think he is only Loyal to himself. When he appears on TV, I either mute it or change the channel.

Scaramucci wants to see himself in the media. He screwed up his chance with Trump by having a drunk phone call with a lib “friend” who wrote all about it the next day.

Now he is kissing lib butt to get on their good side.

I hope he leaves the post vacant and then eliminates the entire department.

DEEP STATE #2 at DNI would have done nothing but continue to interfere with Durham’s investigation of the Obama Sedition Conspiracy......just like Dan Coats, DEEP STATE #1......

Good riddance, .........the sewage in the swamp is multi-layered.

Hopefully he can drain it even further. Many more to go. He can turn it around and fill it with loyal people. People who can offer him intel based on what he wants to hear and has already decided. Yes less swamp creatures and more yes men who present the world as it is wanted to be rather than what it is.
