>Pompeo IF FIRED as CIA Dir might have come under scrutiny…. POTUS makes him SoS - puts our gal as Director … problem solved
I think it's important to look at who is going to be running things while these appointees go through confirmation.
I'm thinking it's easier to move somebody into those slots from the inside then it would be to have someone go through a confirmation. With these two picks a drawn out, contentious confirmation is guaranteed, too, so the interim people may be people they actually want in those spots.
Have any names been mentioned wrt interim spots being filled?
