Never happen. It is why every department in the government has been screwed over if their job was protecting the people, or a healthy planet, or the Constitution.
Never thought that there would be folks foolish enough to go along with the resident’s attempts to dismantle our intelligence system because reality does not match his demented vision.
Trump’s already a bigly military genius, much smarter than those leading the armed forces. I’m sure he’s just as bigly smarter on terrorism, etc. than anyone he could nominate to take the lead on national intelligence.
Details on the House investigation from The New York Times:
“The committee has obtained direct evidence that multiple high-level White House officials have been violating the Presidential Records Act by using personal email accounts, text messaging services and even encrypted applications for official business — and not preserving those records in compliance with federal law,” said Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Democrat of Maryland and the chairman of the committee. “What we do not yet know is why these White House officials were attempting to conceal these communications.”
Those “high-level White House officials” include Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and that’s what is likely sending Trump into a tizzy. Less than 48 hours after the committee approved the subpoenas, Donald Trump was parroting Fox News when he called Baltimore “a disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess.” The Republican Super PAC operating as a cable news network had just done a segment comparing conditions at border detention facilities to Rep. Cummings’ district.
It’s more than a little ironic that Donald Trump attacked Baltimore for impoverished conditions. Some of Donald Trump’s wealth (and the wealth of son-in-law Jared Kushner, too) came from owning and operating squalid housing in Maryland. In fact, the Maryland properties owned by the Trump Organization were so bad that Donald Trump’s own father was arrested in 1976 when he flew there to meet with local officials.
Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign sent a draft speech on energy to be edited by officials in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report released by the House Oversight Committee.
Their changes were included in the final version, which Trump delivered to petroleum industry delegates in North Dakota in May 2016, according to the report.
The report says this openness to outside influence carried over into government, and has “virtually obliterated the lines normally separating government policymaking from corporate and foreign interests.”

Didn’t you read the application on Zip Recruiter? No truth, facts nor connections to objective reality needs apply.

The overarching problem with U. S. intelligence starts with the Rattus potus behind the desk and infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

A psychopathic liar like Trump is not looking for the truth,
he is looking for people to reinforce his bigoted paranoid fantasies
so he can justify destroying everything he touches.

He’s not going to get that with this pick, just another lap dog.

We should remember how much intelligence it takes to lose a billion dollars in business over ten years.
