Lawmakers voted 84-7 on Wednesday to make 'William Evanina' the first Senate-confirmed 'Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center.'....He has a law enforcement background and prior to his service as National Counterintelligence Executive, he was the chief of the Counterespionage Group for the CIA.
"At this moment in time when there is not a single senate confirmed appointee in the whole office of Director of National Intelligence. Now, more than ever, we need at least one career, intelligence, professional with a good record confirmed by the Senate,” said Warner.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said: “Mr. Evanina’s long professional experience has given him a well-trained eye. And he’s made clear he is focused on the most serious espionage threats facing the United States today: China’s insidious efforts to steal our industrial, governmental, technological, and political secrets; and Russia’s continuing efforts to meddle in our democracy.”

Maybe the Democrat adolescents in the US Senate are finally learning that if they don’t confirm POTUS’s reasonable and qualified appointment candidates, they will get Grenell in their cornflakes.
Idiots.
Never trust Warner. He’s up to something and while not the brightest bulb in the ceiling, he is ambition like a lean and hungry Cassius, Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton. Or perhaps he stopped drinking long enough to do something right for the first time in many years, but I’m not betting on it.
If there isn’t something in this deal for him, he’s not going to do it.
They intend to curtail everything Trump wants or desires. ... that they make his Presidency as miserable and as hard for him and the administration as possible.
Grassley put the hold on him and I think he had to be nominated twice.
Should the 84-7 vote scare us?
Yes.
Always
chief of the Counterespionage Group for the CIA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which means he is another of Brennan’s boys.
I’ve met Bill Evanina on a number of occasions. He is a stand up guy!
“he was the chief of the Counterespionage Group for the CIA.”
Uh, oh.
Mister President, maybe you should just start flipping a coin to select appointees.
Who is advising you to appoint these swamp dwellers?
“Now, more than ever, we need at least one career, intelligence, professional.”
Yes, that is what the forces of evil need. What America needs is to dip way down to the O-5 level and find a solid, honorable conservative.
“I’ve met Bill Evanina on a number of occasions. He is a stand up guy!”
Yeah, I thought Archbishop O’Brien was a standup guy too, until I found out he wasn’t.
If he survived in the CIA, there’s a reason.
hat does he stand up for? The spying on Trump agenda?One of two things is true. He either had no idea about the coup attempt. (moron)
Or he has been silent about what he knew. (no good)
84 Senators voted for him. Something must be very wrong with him because democrats are never patriotic.
Running counter intelligence since 2014. You would think maybe he would have learned something about this “Russia” investigation. Maybe Steele? Maybe McCain? Maybe would have known Flynn was a Russian spy.
Swamp creature...
Something fishy here.
I think Warner's a drunk. He's the one who held a fundraiser, and told the crowd: “If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months."
He must be an unhappy camper today.
Then of course there was the video of him making what he called a tuna melt sandwich that he shared on the internet a couple of weeks ago.
Senator Warner's Tuna Melt Video
Almost made me gag. That's the lazy man's way of making a tuna melt.
After that sandwich video, I now have a much better understanding now of how these congressfools screw up everything they touch though.
I wonder if he ever made his special tuna melt sandwich for Chrissy.
You assume too much....There are good guys who have been and are in the CIA, they’re not all bad.
From what I see he’s above board....esepcially after two years of vetting.. if he’s got even a speck on his rcord it would have been revealed.
“There are good guys who have been and are in the CIA, they’re not all bad.”
Once a scumbag rises to a hiring position in an organization, it isn’t long before only scumbags are hired. From that point, it isn’t long before the organization is peopled entirely by scumbags.
Good people in the CIA now, today? I’m afraid I’d have to see that unicorn.
