PDDNI = Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence.

He's out, too?

Who's actually going to run the place, then, while Ric Grenell's there?

(Because it's not actually going to be Grenell, not with his perfect zero of intel experience, and his 3 weeks max on the job)

A week of huge departures from the senior ranks of ODNI: GC Jason Klitenic left earlier this week, Maguire ousted yesterday, PDDNI Andrew Hallman expected to depart tomorrow.

"Some intelligence officials voiced concerns that the White House will dismantle a key election security effort by Dan Coats, the former DNI: the establishment of an election interference czar. Shelby Pierson has held the post since last summer."

"Some current and former intelligence officials expressed fears that Mr. Grenell may have been put in place explicitly to slow the pace of information on election interference to Congress"
