In reply to Acting defense sec. orders NSA director: immediately install former GOP operative as NSA's top lawyer

some splaining by Lawfare Executive Editor, Brookings Senior Fellow, CNN National Security and Legal Analyst, Former IC attorney:

The Trump official trying to "push back" by pointing to De having been StaffSec or Gerstell donating to Obama is just full of it. Both Raj and Glenn scrupulously adhered to the selection process and there wasn't even a whisper of political interference. https://t.co/St1h7wF8Em

Raj De's selection and conversion from political to career is the absolute model of what a merit protected system should look like. They should teach it at OPM. And Glenn was only picked after first person offered the job—a former GW Bush appointee!—withdrew for family reasons.

These Trump officials are so congenitally corrupt that it doesn't even occur to them that other people actually care about and adhere to the rules because it's the fair and right thing to do for our country. They tell on themselves by assuming everything is as rotten as they are.
