About Pres. Donald Trump's decision to appoint home builder heir Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence:

Tommy Vietor: "Literally the only explanation for why Trump would install Pulte in this position is to have him use the resources and the authorities of the US intelligence community against Donald Trump's political enemies. Democrats should fight this tooth and nail."

About Pres. Donald Trump's decision to appoint home builder heir Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence:

Sarah Longwell: "Pulte is a clown, but also the one who allegedly illegally pulled all the loan files to investigate Tish James, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Lisa Cook. Pretty alarming to make a guy willing to turn the state apparatus against citizens the Director of National Intelligence."

Sen. Mark Warner: "Donald Trump’s pick for Acting DNI, Bill Pulte, is dangerously unqualified for the role. This move threatens the independence of our intelligence community and the safety of all Americans."

"The Justice Department is leading a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the writer who won civil lawsuits accusing Pres. Trump of sexually abusing her and defamation." My guess is that her alleged crimes were hiring a good lawyer, upsetting a past president of the United States by reminding him of his crimes, and inspiring other victims to seek justice through the courts: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/live-updates_n_6a1570ece4b062ca52d4f285/liveblog_6a177b76e4b0457678e852aa

The #DOJ last month removed the veteran prosecutor in ​Miami who had been leading ⁠the investigation into #Brennan. The department then installed #JoeDiGenova, a former federal prosecutor turned conservative legal commentator & critic of Brennan, to oversee the probe & a related effort to examine whether prior investigations into #Trump amounted to a conspiracy against the president. πŸ™„πŸ₯±

Acting AG #ToddBlanche helped oversee the #DOJ’s investigation into #Brennan when #PamBondi was AG. #Trump fired Bondi in April amid ​mounting White House frustration with the pace & outcome of her team’s investigations.

#Brennan’s lawyer said in a letter to the chief federal judge in Miami that prosecutors had told his client that he is a target of the investigation. He stated prosecutors were "#JudgeShopping" by trying to steer the investigation to a Trump-appointed judge in Fort Pierce, Florida, who previously dismissed a #criminal case against #Trump [yup, it’s the ever-so-compromised #AileenCannon.

The dossier was referenced only briefly ​in the assessment & a summary of its allegations was attached to a classified version of the report. #Brennan has said the #CIA opposed including the #SteeleDossier in the report ​& the classified summary was only included as part of a compromise with the #FBI.
