RUSH EXCERPT:
NICHOLS: " Interesting to see what happens. Normally, there’s a fair amount of tension between the CIA director and DNI, because, of course, CIA has a lot of operational responsibilities. So it’d be interesting to see who wins that fight every day. Talking to Donald Trump. But, you know, as we were discussing last night, she’s not really going to be there to produce quality intelligence because, as you pointed out, Donald Trump is not a big reader. She’s going to be there to sow chaos in the intelligence community. She’s going to harm links we have with other intelligence organizations. I mean, in a way, this is another one of Donald Trump’s very trolly kind of let’s see how much I can make Republicans and the public put up with in a, in a nomination. So, I mean, she’s it’s a dangerous nomination. And if it’s approved, there’s going to be chaos in the intelligence community."
