#1 CIA director as SoS? WTF!%$#@! This is them telling Trump what they want. Pompeo would put a halt to the downsizing and puff State back up to its former bloated monstrosity.

#2 CIAdirector as SoS? WTF!%$#@!

They make the calls, have done so for years. You hear anything about Pompeo cleaning house at Klingon Central? Of course not. Tillerson on the other hand is an outsider.

#7 Fake news. It's all they've got to run with. I have noticed the leaks have dramatically dropped off. Except in Mueller's department.

#8 I read where Judicial Watch is filing suit to stop Meuler for several reasons. One of which are the daily ~~briefings~~ leaks from his team to the media of confidential information. Another is the sheer conflict of interest the top members of his team has (not to mention he, himself).
Not that I think it has a snoball's chance in hell.

#9 Judicial Watch is the only organization that is seriously challenging the ~~Obama~~ Deep State.
