Rubio is both the Sec. of State and the National Security Advisor. Now he has company trying to do two jobs. Pulte being an exceedingly curious choice for DNI having no other qualifications but the one that matter most. Loyalty to Don.
Pulte, who has served as an attack dog against Trump’s foes, has no known prior intelligence experience.
But in his new role, he will oversee the sprawling U.S. intelligence community, which includes the CIA and National Security Agency.
Pulte at the same time will continue working as FHFA director and chairman of the mortgage groups Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post announcing the decision.
Democrats immediately condemned Pulte’s appointment, and the Senate’s top Republican also criticized the move.
“We don’t need a weaponized DNI, we need professionals there,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Wait........what? Thune uncharacteristically said the quiet part out loud. The same comment that could be made in reference to virtually all trump's cabinet picks. This may not bode well for Bill's confirmation.
I wonder what Greg Bovino is doing these days?
