Sauce to prior bread:
JUST IN - Acting defense secretary Christopher C. Miller ordered the director of the National Security Agency to install a former GOP political operative as the NSA’s top lawyer. It is unclear what the NSA will do (WP).
EST.
But then again…… it's the WaPo, Anons.
So who the hell really knows.
The concern of Nakasone and others, current and former officials said, is that the White House is seeking to “burrow” Ellis into the job in violation of a long-standing policy that prevents embedding political personnel into career civilian positions prior to a change in administration.
Nakasone recently got a verbal indication from the Office of Personnel Management that the policy did not apply to intelligence community employees, according to one U.S. official. On Thursday, he requested a written legal opinion on that point, according to two officials. He has not yet received that written opinion, the officials said.
Ellis previously was chief counsel to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), a staunch Trump supporter and former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Ellis joined the White House in 2017, when he became a lawyer on the National Security Council and in 2019 he was elevated to senior director for intelligence.
