This is one of Trump's most dangerous moves yet. I doubt Pulte knows or even cares that our spy agencies cannot legally spy on American citizens (with a few exceptions). What's next - CIA drones flying by our bedroom room windows? Reading our private emails? Confiscating our ballots to determine who did not vote for Trump?

Secondly, Pulte will neither know or care about foreign threats. He simply does not have even the basic knowledge of spycraft, which takes years to develop. That leaves us vulnerable to the next 9/11 - or something worse.

Another step in Trump's destruction of our once-great country!

I only hope that the malevolent actors will target Mar-a-Crapcan exclusively. Will not be missed.

The NSA is already reading our emails.

I'm having a good time with it. When I exchange emails with friends and some family, we're always putting in totally idiotic things, hoping to blow their minds.

"Pulte has no known background in intelligence, counterterrorism, diplomacy, military affairs, or national security policy."

Maybe he's a top-notch spy, and he's been able to keep it a secret. Seriously, this is just more proof that Trump values sycophancy and blind loyalty over competence. Pulte is arguably Trump's top hatchet man, and now he'll be wielding his hatchet against Trump's enemies as the coordinator of our foreign and domestic intelligence operations. Scary stuff.

"the DNI’s job is not to make intelligence conform to presidential instinct. It is to ensure the intelligence community bounds uncertainty, frames risk, and delivers warning "

This is simply how any large metropolitan police department operates--by coordinating intelligence across various sources and agencies. It is, in fact, how the World Cup is running its security operations right now. That our entire country is not important enough to project, ID, or fend off threats tells me we should just consider it a men's club or a shell company, toys for the insulated billionaires in charge.

Felon47 just keeps finding increasingly incompetent and inept creatures to fill positions in his cadre of clowns. He obviously doesn't care about the security of our country as much as he cares about surrounding himself with sycophants. The quality and qualifications of the "civil servants" in this administration keeps going lower and lower and lower.

Yet, the pool from which he draws is finite, and the same old scum suckers. Look for him to resurrect Michael Cohen next.

OMG - you have made me laugh out loud! You've encapsulated the fact he goes to the dregs beneath the slimy muck of the swamp to find his enablers.

Interesting how Trump and Co. seem to have figured out a way to bypass Senate confirmation hearings.

"Acting" lasts more than two-thirds of a year. Jebus. With no recourse--how do you get rid of Mr. Acting?
