Pompeo emerges as favorite to replace Tillerson
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump has turned his daily intelligence briefing a routine that in previous administrations has been a dry, formal affair into a free-flowing conversation during which he peppers his CIA director, former House member Mike Pompeo, with questions about everything from national security threats to the internal dynamics of Congress.
After their 10 a.m. sessions, which Pompeo conducts in person about four mornings a week, Trump often asks Pompeo to accompany him to his next meeting whatever it is.
The CIA directors favored status in the West Wing has made him the odds-on choice to succeed Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to more than half a dozen administration officials and outside advisers familiar with the White Houses current plans. Its not clear when Tillerson might leave he has vigorously denied rumors that he plans to resign anytime soon but Pompeo has told associates that he expects the president to tap him for the position and that hed accept the job if its offered to him.

Chaos 24/7

That is a huge amount of time for the head of CIA to devote to this hand holding nonsense.
