President Trump's new acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, has already made major changes at the agency, including ousting the No. 2 official.
Former acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire and his deputy, Andrew Hallman, resigned on Friday. According to The New York Times, Grenell told Hallman, who has worked for national intelligence and the CIA for three decades, that his service was no longer needed.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) praised both Maguire and Hallman for their service after their resignations were announced.
“For nearly four decades, Joe Maguire has dedicated his career to securing our country, both in and out of uniform," Burr said. "I’ve valued Joe’s advice and counsel during his tenure as Director of National Intelligence and at the National Counterterrorism Center, and I wish him the best.”
Of Hallman, Burr added he appreciated "his extensive knowledge of intelligence matters and his deep respect for the men and women of our [intelligence community]."

If Burr, co-conspirator with Warner, liked him then I don’t.

!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well then we know it was a good firing.
Quelle Surprise!!!! NOT
A real Boom!
Of Hallman, Burr added he appreciated “his extensive knowledge of intelligence matters and his deep respect for the men and women of our [intelligence community].”

That would be the intelligence community that completely missed 9/11, told us WMDs was a slam dunk and then tried to run a coup against our choice for President.
It is most likely that anyone who has been in position of power there for all these years is dirty.
There are tens of thousands more at CIA that should follow these two out the door; overpaid, overstaffed, underworked and overly duplicative of other agency work. Time to go, clean the stables out, there is a lot of s**t in that pathetic organization. Together with Richard Burr and Warner, they can go look for the WMDs in Iraq they confidently predicted were there to start a totally unnecessary, costly war in lives and treasure. CIA’s other wonderful predictions? The Soviet Union was growing at astounding rates and would surpass the US in the 1990s - when communism fell, it turned out Soviet Russia had a GNP the size of Belgium. Genius, isn’t it?
Oh good grief.
Now, this is he way you do it!!!
CLEAN HOUSE!!!
“Richard Burr (R-N.C.)”
Deep State, all the way.
Pinnacle member.
Good! Now to appoint somebody at the State Department who will clean out that place with a flamethrower.
Senate (not) Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.)
Thought he had passed away...

Ditto!
Well, bye....swamp creature!
Were these clowns behind the latest Russia crap?

Sounds as though Grenell is doing just what he was hired to do. Hopefully more “resignations” in the pipeline.
Money quote in the article:
One hire is Kashyap Patel, a senior member of the National Security Council and former top aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the former House Intelligence Committee chairman. Patel was a lead author of a 2018 memo that accused FBI and Justice Department officials under former President Obama of overstepping their surveillance authority ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Patel has reportedly been given permission to “clean house” at the agency.
