Acting defense secretary orders NSA director to immediately install former GOP operative as the agency’s top lawyer

Acting defense secretary Christopher C. Miller ordered the director of the National Security Agency to install on Saturday a former GOP political operative as the NSA’s top lawyer, according to four individuals familiar with the matter.

The move is troubling, coming as it does four days before President Trump leaves office and the Biden administration takes over, former U.S. officials said. The move makes it more difficult for the Biden administration to immediately replace him, the former officials said.

“An 11th-hour move like this and a directive from the acting secretary of defense is overwhelmingly strong evidence of irregularity,” Hennessey said on Saturday. “Unless the acting secretary of defense can produce a compelling rationale for why this individual needed to be installed now, there should be a presumption that this is improper and the Biden team should remove this individual on Day 1.”

Gen. Paul Nakasone and his underlings are DeepState scum of the earth. Margot Cleveland exposes this military maggot in her October 28, 2021, Federalist article, "Rep. Nunes Hammers Military General Over Politicized Purge Of Career Intelligence Official."

Cleveland refers to a January 22, 2021, article by Mollie Hemingway, "Breaking Norms And Precedent, Biden Attempts To Purge Career Intelligence Official."

Paul Nakasone should be stripped of his stars and assigned to clean Leavenworth toilets with his toothbrush.
