NSA official installed as Trump left office resigns after he was sidelined

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Michael Ellis, a former Republican political operative, resigned Friday as the National Security Agency’s top lawyer, having been sidelined for three months after President Biden took office.

The NSA director, Gen. Paul Nakasone, had placed Ellis on administrative leave the day President Donald Trump left the White House — just as Ellis was taking up the position. The reasons: a pending Pentagon inspector general probe, an official told The Washington Post at the time, and a security inquiry into Ellis’s handling of classified information, according to a letter from Ellis’s attorney to Nakasone, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

Nakasone had agreed to install Ellis as general counsel just days earlier under orders from Trump’s acting defense secretary. The role does not require Senate confirmation.

The inspector general inquiry into the circumstances of Ellis’s selection remains open, Nakasone told Congress on Thursday.

2. Of Course, He Resigned

Being sidelined by a new, reputable administration meant he couldn't do the damage he went there to do.
It's no fun if you can't fuck things up, when that's one's only qualifications.
