Trump picks former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton as national intelligence director​

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he is nominating Jay Clayton to become the next permanent director of national intelligence.

Clayton is currently the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and is the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Trump’s announcement comes after controversy over his recent appointment of top federal housing official Bill Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence, to replace outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Obviously, he's qualified for the position.

Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor spread false conspiracy theories Monday about California’s still-ongoing primary vote count, suggesting that delayed results may be evidence of fraud.

The alarming insinuation from a top Department of Justice (DOJ) official is just the latest example of President Donald Trump and his allies using California’s protracted tallying of ballots to fuel conspiracy theories.

“On the integrity side, we’re doing an absolutely terrible job, and the American people are right to question it,” Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, told CNBC’s Joe Kernen when asked if any of the claims of voter fraud in California’s elections were true.

Though his jurisdiction lies nearly 3,000 miles from California, Clayton also took aim at the state’s mail-in voting laws.

Unfortunately, it doesn't satisfy the statute written when the position of DNI was created requiring the person filling the job to have intel experience.

This comes on the same day Don did a TACO on another strike on Iran he said would be happening today.

Erratic much?

I think it's likely Don was getting a message from Senate Repubs that an unqualified loyalist like Pulte wasn't going to get confirmed and was an embarrassment.

Sort of feels like yet another worthless daily anti-Trump thread by the mentally unbalanced ...

Yet another grossly unqualified Trump lapdog...



I'd say I'm surprised, but...

As I mentioned in the OP, not just unqualified. Statutorily prevented from taking the position.

AI overview......

By statute, any individual nominated for the position of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) must have extensive national security expertise. [1]
Statutory Details & Roles:

• Legal Requirement: Title 50, Section 3023 of the U.S. Code explicitly mandates that nominees for the DNI post possess extensive national security expertise to ensure the head of the Intelligence Community can properly advise the President. [1, 2]
• Senate Confirmation: A permanent, Senate-confirmed DNI must be approved by the chamber, which reviews the nominee's background for this requirement.

With such conviction that Trump has made the wrong choice, who would you choose to take the position of ODNI Chief?

So, who would you pick instead?

It's not a matter of conviction. Clayton is just as statutorily unqualified as Pulte was though he is arguably less of a lapdog.

Surely you aren't saying the regime can't come up with someone who has the required experience..........are you? I think it can. The problem being finding someone who is sufficiently loyal to Don's every whim.

When pressed for evidence of fraud in CA during an interview on CNBC Jay said the vote counting system CA uses presents the "opportunity for fraud." He's one slippery guy.
