Trump Fires Honest Deputy DNI As He Is Trying To Rig 2020
Sue Gordon, who was endorsed by members of the intel community and Congress to be the next DNI, is now leaving her position after a meeting with Trump.
Trump fires Deputy DNI Because She Tells The Truth
snip// (tweet I cannot copy for some reason)
Gordon had been endorsed by everyone from Rod Rosenstein to members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees as a competent public servant who was experienced and qualified to be the next Director of National Intelligence. After Trumps efforts to nominate unqualified stooge Rep. John Ratcliffe to the position, failed some thought that he would back down and actually put someone competent in charge of overseeing national intelligence, but Donald Trump doesnt do competence.
Trump is trying to weaken the intelligence community ahead of the 2020 election
It is almost like Donald Trump is trying to take out the cops before he can commit his next set of crimes. It is not a coincidence that Trump wants a loyalist overseeing national intelligence ahead of a reelection campaign where he has already publicly stated that he would take help from foreign governments.
Trump wants to make sure that there will be no investigations of his 2020 reelection activities.
Donald Trump isnt brilliant or subtle. It is obvious what he is doing, and it is no accident that he is trying to break the intelligence community right before he runs for reelection.

Scoop: The deputy director of national intelligence, Sue Gordon,
will leave her position following a meeting in Oval with Trump today, sources tell me.
