General Flynn just became the shadow secretary of defense. In order to understand how, you must first understand who Flynn's protege, Ezra Cohen Watnick, is.

So, from these articles, what can we infer about Ezra Cohen-Watnick?
-
He worked for the DIA for at least 7 years.
-
During that time, he went to "the Farm" and got embedded with CIA, and then was stationed in Afghanistan with CIA personnel who didn't like him because they believed that he was sent there by Flynn to spy on clown ops in Afghanistan. It is believed that ECW met General Flynn's son, Matthew Flynn, while at "The Farm".
-
During the POTUS transition/early admin days, Flynn brought Ezra along to work in the National Security Council, and despite being only 31 years old, he filled the role of Senior Director for Intelligence Programs (basically, he was in charge of liasing between the entire intelligence community and the White House).
-
Watnick played a critical role in uncovering Spygate and informing Devin Nunes about Obama's Trump Tower wiretapping and Susan Rice's request for "unmasking" Trump campaign personnel (thus setting off critically important House Intelligence Committee investigations into Obama Admin. FBI/ODJ wrongdoing).
-
After Flynn got fired, the new National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster (who we know was compromised because his dad got executed in a nursing home by black hats after Trump fired him) cleaned house of Flynn loyalists. Amidst McMaster's house cleaning, he tried to fire Cohen-Watnick. Trump wouldn't let him fire Watnick, and it was quite a public ordeal.
-
While working as Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the White House, Cohen-Watnick was focused on implementing an "Insider Threat Program". The media reports focus on this being an effort to expose/stop leaks from the White House, but this could easily have been a much broader effort to identify and neutralize domestic threats from within various government agencies and corporations (7th floor is no more, Clowns, GOOG, Etc.).
-
Upon leaving the White House in August 2017, Cohen-Watnick went to work for Cisco (yes, the Cisco that basically built/controls the physical architecture/backbone of the internet). Seems to me that Cohen-Watnick could have easily been working at Cisco while "On Assignment". Setting up internet failsafes, locating and identifying the 7 dwarves supercomputers, and working closely with NSA/DIA white hats to uncover more evidence and neutralize cyber threats.
-
Next, Cohen-Watnick, armed with an avalanche of evidence against worldwide bad actors, having identified/neutered "insider threats", and having setup internet failsafes, went to work directly with Sessions, then Matthew Whitaker at the DOJ. His role was advising on COUNTERINTELLIGENCE and counterterrorism.
