NSA will install former GOP political operative as its top lawyer — The Washington Post

The appointment has led to questions over whether the Trump administration is politicizing a career position.

The announcement came a day after Acting Defense Secretary Christopher C. Miller ordered the NSA director, Gen. Paul Nakasone, to immediately place Ellis in position as the agency’s general counsel.

Ellis had been selected for the job in November by the Pentagon general counsel after a civil service competition. But Nakasone was not in favor of Ellis’ selection and sought to delay his installation, according to several people familiar with the issue, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Oh no! Politicizing a career position. That has never happened before Trump.

Going to make it harder for Biden to spy on political enemy's. Remember what the NSA did under the Obama/Biden administration?

A weak attempt to install Trump loyalists into sensitive positions. It won't work.
"While it will be difficult to fire Mr. Ellis under Civil Service rules, the Biden administration could easily reassign him to another, less important post."

Ellis used his position to try to stop Bolton's book because it contained true stories that made Trump cry.

True- It would be a mess to even attempt firing
More important fish to fry
Suggestion- find out where he does not want to go, and send him there
Place him in charge of copier supplies.

How much you wanna bet if he was put in charge of copier supplies pretty soon there would be a hot black market for copier supplies out of that office?
