CNN’s Elie Honig Savages Trump DNI Nominee: Reputation As a ‘Chameleon,’ ‘Lacks the Backbone,’ ‘Not Deeply Respected’

EXCERPT:

HONIG: “And one other thing about Jay Clayton, I don’t know him. He took over the U.S. Attorney’s office at S.D.N.Y. a couple years after I left. But I know plenty of people there. And the reputation of Jay Clayton is that he’s a chameleon, that he goes by to get by. He goes along to get along, that he lacks the backbone to stand up for that office. He’s not as over-the-top offensive as some other folks we’ve seen in high positions at DOJ, but he’s not deeply respected in that office right now. And tears were not shed when he was nominated for this job, if he gets it someday.”
