Trump's New Intelligence Chief Spells Trouble | WIRED:
[the 116th Congress] wrote into the law that created the job, 50 U.S. Code § 3023, “Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise.” And John Ratcliffe definitely doesn’t.
Should I be surprised that the least qualified person to every occupy the Oval Office has appoointed the least qualified Director of National Intelligence? Should I be surprised that GOP controlled Senate confirmed someone who is unqualified to do the job? Sadly, I am not surprised at all.
