BREAKING: Trump to rename the Interior Department the Department of the EXTERIOR. "I noticed that all the national parks were outside. No one had made that connection before," Trump said in making this announcement.

A Loomer-cide? Or a natural evolution?

Nice

Can’t Trump just buy a monster truck with big tires and fog lamps to compensate for, well, you know?

It can happen but is rare. The irony is that in many cases the raw collection is automatically shared with, or has been collected by one of, the Five Eye partners.

NSA is historically a very hierarchical organization that rewards experience and time served. There could be many in the ranks who will bristle at his return at the top of the agency. /END

Francescon’s rapid rise is more likely because of his White House and Pentagon association with Chris Miller and Kash Patel in Trump 1.0. /3

This experience has been even more critical during the modern era where the Director is dual-hatted as Commander Cyber Command. /2

Possibly a talented young man, rich in counterterrorism experience, Francesco will be the least experienced Deputy Director of NSA ever. Predecessors have had decades of NSA experience complementing the more itinerant nature of the military Director. /1

Former CIA Director Bill Burns says it so well. Take time to read this.

“…under the guise of reform, you all got caught in the crossfire of a retribution campaign—of a war on public service and expertise.”

Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents over CIA objections, sources say Some former intelligence officers said they were alarmed at the detail revealed in the declassified document about Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Our Director Larry Pfeiffer: “When our intelligence community leaders conduct end-runs around procedures established to protect sources and methods, they put at grave risk foreign sources risking life and limb to give us information vital to our security.”

Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard have nothing.

Check out the full episode where they get into DNI's reckless declassifications, the politically motivated firing of April Doss from her job as general counsel for the NSA, and more.

NSA General Counsel is not a political appointment, but a career position, owing largely to the complicated legal territory involved in its operations, particularly re protecting US civil liberties.

It was too easy!

Just once, I’d love to see Gabbard or Ratcliffe take their nonsense in front of anyone other than a Fox or Newsmax journalist.

Hey @washingtonpost.com editorial board: A quick search of your files would uncover 100s of articles where we’ve been quoted by your national security reporters since then. Shredded credibility? 🤣🤣🤣

Wait… he has a heart?
