Coats before Declas with no indication of the time in-between.

The corrupt SSCI will block any nominee who isn’t compromised in one way or another. They shot down John Ratcliffe for not being corrupt or compromised enough.

Collins comes off as an @ss.

I won’t be voting for him in the primary.

-- By law the Director of National Intelligence should have an intelligence background. --

Got a cite for that? The limitation you state isn't in 50 USC 3023.

Thanks, as the Congressman long ago said during Abscam: Money talks and BS walks.

That didn’t even need to be mentioned.

I disagree. ANYTHING that helps Trump with the narrative is a good thing. We have to use the same tactics as the left, against the left, to change the narrative.

1. A trusted ally in an important role

2. Ending friction over a Georgia Senate seat

3. A skeptic at heart (We need a skeptic as DNI. We need someone who wouldn’t listen to people like John Bolton swearing there are WMDs in Iraq.)

Why is it at all relevant that someone is openly gay???

That didn’t even need to be mentioned.

It matters in that this fact will keep certain folks from opposing Amb. Grenell's appointment.

“ Why is it at all relevant that someone is openly gay???

Multiple levels of political strategy and public perception and election strategery.

And the Ambassador has made it a public issue as he pursued worldwide legal changes to protect gays. That said, he has been very loyal to Trump, which is all important in this life or death struggle against the Swamp.

Too bad he’s not also a minority and handicapped, that would make him pretty much immune to attack from people who view the entire world through those prisms.

homosexual minority humpback whale ping.

(I don’t get many chances to use that ping list...)

Nix on an “openly gay” Sec of State. He’s good in other ways but that is not good.

Re: i wonder why kemp appointed her?
.
Kemp just got his re-election campaign financed by team McConnell and his PACs. Loeffler is a cheap labor globalist RINO who needs to be eliminated. Hopefully Collins will turn this down and continue his senate run. defeating the Dems who wear republican jerseys is almost as important as defeating dems!

How about someone like Kevin Shipp for DNI would that work?
If he just cleaned up the CIA alone it would be worth it.

He is planning a senate run and would make a really good Senator.
Looking at his history he has nothing associated with intel unless I missed something. I'm thinking a Kevin Shipp or someone with his tenacity and experience would be far better than taking a sure thing guy like Collins who is climbing right up the ladder and rightly so.
