    Dan walked his mused looks back. The Dishonest media wanted to use them to support their TDS based lies and emotional hysterics.

    I just watched a replay of the interview. Coats did some serious damage to his own political career.

    yes, honesty does that in the Trump admin. I think Coats is a goner. Trump wants no contrary thinkers.

    He has shown no indication that he would resign if asked to. Most likely Trump will fire him.

    Coats really pointed out how fucked up Trump is

    Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)[edit]
    The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 established the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) as an independent agency to assist the DNI. The ODNI's goal is to effectively integrate foreign, military and domestic intelligence in defense of the homeland and of United States interests abroad.[17] The budget for the ODNI and the Intelligence Community for fiscal year 2013 was $52.6 billion[18] and the base request for fiscal year 2014 was $48.2 billion.[19] The Military Intelligence Program (MIP) base budget request for fiscal year 2014, excluding overseas contingency funds, is $14.6 billion, which together with the NIP, comprise an Intelligence Community budget request of $62.8 billion for fiscal year 2014.[20] The ODNI has about 1,750 employees.[21]
    On March 23, 2007, DNI Mike McConnell announced organizational changes, which include:
    Elevating acquisition to a new Deputy DNI position
    Creating a new Deputy DNI for Policy, Plans, and Requirements (replacing the Deputy DNI for Requirements position)
    Establishing an Executive Committee
    Designating the Chief of Staff position as the new Director of the Intelligence Staff
    The ODNI continued to evolve under succeeding directors, culminating in a new organization focused on intelligence integration across the community. The ODNI has six centers and 15 Offices that, together with the centers, support the Director of National Intelligence as the head of the Intelligence Community (IC) in overseeing and directing implementation of the NIP and acting as the principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to national security. The six ODNI centers include:
    Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA)
    Information Sharing Environment (ISE)
    National Counterproliferation Center (NCPC)
    National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)
    National Intelligence Council (NIC)
    Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX).
    ODNI organization[edit]
    The ODNI is divided into core, enabling, and oversight offices. The Principal Deputy Director (PDDNI) to the DNI, in a role similar to that of a Chief Operating Officer, oversees operation of ODNI offices, manages Intelligence Community (IC) coordination and information sharing, reinforces the DNI's intelligence-integration initiatives, and focuses on IC resource challenges.
    Core mission[edit]
    The core mission functions of the ODNI are organized under the Deputy DNI for Intelligence Integration (DDNI/II). The DDNI/II facilitates information sharing and collaboration through the integration of analysis and collection, and leads the execution of core mission functions. These include:
    Integration Management Council
    National Intelligence Council
    Mission Integration Division
    National Counterterrorism Center
    National Counterproliferation Center
    Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive
    Mission enablers[edit]
    Mission enablers include policy, engagement, acquisition, resource, human capital, financial, and information offices.

    He also rebuked Trump's one-on-one meeting with Putin, saying he would have advised against it, and said he thought it was a bad idea for Trump to invite senior Russian officials into the Oval Office last year -- both stunning statements for a senior member of a President's Cabinet to make publicly.
    that's a good way to get fired -it's not his purview to question policy -only intelligence

    Don't you? It's empty up there. All those works banging around into each other attempting to coalesce into meaningful sentences like lottery balls competing for the opening to emerge from for announcement.
