I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago. During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Congratulations to Director Pulte! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Great news. He’s been very effective at identifying fraud.

He’s a real estate guy: https://www.fhfa.gov/about/leadership/william-j-pulte

Founder of an investment firm and a homebuilder.

Not sure what any of that has to do with being Director of National Intelligence.

(Whatever you can say about Tulsi Gabbard, shenat least had military experience and Congressional committee tenure over intelligence matters. Pulte makes zero sense as a pick.)

They are a big builder here in the DFW, or at least they were.

No experience in Intel or its bureaucracy?

They will ignore, obfuscate and delay him at every turn.

You’re confusing him with his grandfather.

Makes no sense to continue as FHFA director also.

So are you saying that his FHFA bio (which I literally linked, BTW) is false?

"Before his appointment, Pulte had a longstanding career in homebuilding, housing products, and community development. In 2011, Pulte founded Pulte Capital Partners LLC, an investment firm that focuses on building and housing products. He also served on the board of Pulte Homes, a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest homebuilders in the country. "

I don’t think that is a everyday job. They probably meet once a week or even a month............

I don’t see any indication the deputy DNI is being replaced. (Name escapes me and I’m too lazy to look it up!) He has Intel experience. He’ll concentrate on managing that. Pulte hopefully is there to run audits

Pulte runs a tight business. He leaves no stone unturned. An actual businessman may be the perfect person.

Agreed - I think it is just one of Trump's picks that is based upon whom he gets along with the best.

The problem with appointing someone with no experience in the field is that they are going to be forced to rely upon underlings for all their substantive knowledge, which essentially turns them into an administrator rather than a leader.

Trump is going to pick someone who has shown a willingness to go after enemies over someone with an impressive resume any day. 99% of what he needs to know about intelligence he can learn on the job.

He should bring back general Michael Flynn who so terrified Obama that he and corrupt FIB screwed that guy over to be his DNI. This pulte guy seems to have zero experience to be DNI.

Loyal, but spectacularly unqualified.

It would be like appointing Lara Trump to head the Livermore National Lab.

Is there not a single intelligence officer or GOP congressman on the House Intelligence Committee available?
