I don't get it. Doesn't the POTUS have final authority over hiring/firing of executive branch employees? Suppose he fires Sue Gordon or moves her into a different role. Doesn't he have the authority to do that if he wishes? Then he can appoint whoever he wants as Deputy DNI who would then becoming Acting DNI.
How is this any kind of issue at all? The legislative branch does not have authority over hirings and firings and job assignments of executive branch employees.
Spoopy!

24,000 Irvine customers without power, flights grounded at John Wayne Airport after substation fire
Updated 3 minutes ago
SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- A fire at an electrical substation in Irvine caused a power outage that left 24,000 customers in Irvine without power and grounded all flights at John Wayne Airport, officials said.
Southern California Edison said Friday evening that the substation caught fire and was later de-energized.
The outage caused all inbound flights to John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana to be diverted.
The airport also reported a full ground stop in a tweet shortly after 7 p.m.
Update 1: There is currently a full ground stop. Any inbound flight to JWA will be diverted. Guests who are picking up passengers are advised to call the airline for more information.

DEVELOPING: This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
Checked SNA airport earlier and it wasn't remarkable enough to post. The flight advisory appears to be behind the latest tweet. I'm not expert at tracking commercial flights - I do US military mainly.
Here's a P8 sub hunter doing strange maneuvers way off the coast of NJ.
The long E-W traces are the two DC10s over NJ. P8 just vanished from radar at 4700'.
Probably nothing out to sea to cap the signal and forward it to the ADSB website.
That same P8 is now appearing over Charleston. The data is screwed up. Could check flight history but doesn't matter that much.
OK, heading west to look at civilian flights in Orange County, CO.
So here's what air traffic over SoCal looks like. 119 aircraft, none military. The choppers are all PD (normal over LA basin area). Santa Ana (John Wayne Airport) marked with red rectangle.
Frankly I don't quite know what to look for here. There is a large cluster of plane converging upon LA.
Without checking individual flights and schedules it would be hard to determine if these are all re-routed or something. PF too tired to check that way.
