So basically no one is going to be in charge of our National Intelligence.

The Deputy Director who was supposed to fill in after Coats....won't be.

JUST IN: Deputy Intelligence Director Sue Gordon will reportedly leave her position following a meeting with Trump

2:41 PM - 8 Aug 2019

Have at us, Vlad.

1. Uh oh

[BigmanPigman]

2. I want to know all the positions that are not filled.

I know it is a record number and it is done purposely. The Racist Rapist wants to run it all by himself like he did with his business. People say he doesn't understand that our govt isn't run that way but he knows exactly what he is doing. People need to remember how he failed in business and lost $ 1 BILLION+ in 10 years.

5. I would call this deriliction of duty

[Princetonian]

3. There are plenty of newly hired moles though.

[Anon-C]

4. Indeed the next Russian attack in support of the Right likely would not be on voting booths.

6. It's down to Ivanka

There is literally no one left to appoint.

[CanonRay]

7. My theory is Trump wants a lackey in place

so he can use the intelligence services in his campaign

[shanti]

8. Right

and Sue Gordon was out when she told him she wouldn't kiss his ass.

[moondust]

9. Toady wanted.

Top national security job. No experience necessary.

Will the next real President want Dump's unqualified toadies to stick around in those jobs? Doubt it. Will all the qualified candidates be gone by that time?

[onenote]

10. Not so. Joseph Maguire is being named as acting DNI

Maguire is the Director of the Center for Counterterrorism, a position for which he received unanimous confirmation from the Senate.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. I wonder what his deal is.

And if his "acting" is a placeholder or one of those Mulvaney type deals.

[kentuck]

11. Vlad will be in charge.

You are right.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Jared. All they need is a decent sales rep...

I think.

[rsdsharp]

13. Don't worry.

Putin will tell him what he needs to know.
