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.”

Okay, this makes sense because Ellis is a Devin Nunes guy. Maybe can be trusted.

“troubling” for who?

Your point was well taken

Mine was a bad attempt at changing the subject with petty points humor.

How ‘bout them apples?

Will keep an eye on events. Kind of getting the vibe that 01/20/21 might contain a dose of the unexpected.

“Biden isn’t going to be president. Wake up folks!”

I would not surprise me if he is eliminated in a false flag operation, so Trump supporters can be blamed and Harris can step up as President.
