REUTERS/Carlos Barria WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic President-elect Joe Biden is considering naming Tom Donilon, a veteran diplomat and national security adviser to former President Barack Obama, as director of the CIA, a person familiar with the situation said on Wednesday. The CIA position could be one of the most challenging in Biden's administration after four years of Republican President Donald Trump accusing the agency of being part of a "Deep State" conspiracy seeking to undermine his presidency. Donilon's consideration was first reported by Politico. Biden, who takes office on Jan. 20, is also said to be considering Michael Morell, who was the CIA's deputy director and acting director of the agency twice under Obama. Biden, an integral part of Obama's national security team during his eight years as vice president, would have worked closely with both men. He has already picked other Obama administration veterans for major national security posts, including Antony Blinken, a former deputy secretary of state, for secretary of state, and Avril Haines, a deputy at the CIA under Obama, to be director of national intelligence.

Popular Post ThreeEyedRaven Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well whoever he picks for whatever position, at least it will be appointments based on merit, rather than who is going to nod their head and say "Yes" regardless of what you are asking them to do. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Emdog Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2020 I would love to see him put Chris Krebs, who oversaw national cybersecurity, back in his former job. Fired by Trump for doing a good job. A Republican also. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me but Biden will not be the president so how can he do this? Besides mainstream media and other corrupt new outlets, who declared Biden president? We still have a long way to go folks on this so-called election and I did not hear the fat lady sing yet!

Popular Post J Town Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2020 I hope Biden brings back the Vindman brothers.

You can't fix stupid, you just can't... True, you can't fix stupid as I had many others have posted on here from time to time, but what sort of grey matter does one have to have (or not have) to see that this rubbish is exactly that, just absolute rubbish. I don't think people who believe this claptrap are quite the full quid, or they are very simple and naïve, thereby easily swayed/persuaded, and in saying that, they probably believe in fairies at the bottom of their garden, Father Christmas and the elves, and the moon is made of cheese – – there's no other explanation for it. Never in my life did I think that I would see people believe in this sort of rubbish, but there again I never thought that there would be an unintelligent, lying clown as president of the USA! (Oh, and his family given plum roles in the administration to top up their coffers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
