Devin Nunes up to replace Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats?

SCOOP: Trump met w/Devin Nunes last week to discuss replacements for Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, in the latest sign that Coats is on his way out. The meeting has top ODNI officials worried that Nunes himself is in the running for the job.

“The president would certainly consider Devin Nunes for the director’s position and I eventually see him serving in some capacity in this administration,” said one member of Congress who speaks to Trump frequently.

Horrific, but it does get him out of Congress, at least. A silver lining, I guess.

"Misdirector" would need to be in his job title. Nunes in this position would be just as bad as having Flynn as National Security Advisor.

Nunes is a dolt. They’ll need to change the title to Director of National Stupidity.
