Summary

In a story that has remained somewhat under the radar screen, AFTER Trump lost the election, he arranged to install loyalists at the Pentagon and the National Security Agency for reasons that have no obvious connection to our nation's security. Here is the sequence of events that led to the installation and almost immediate suspension of Devin Nunes's former Chief Counsel, 35-year-old Michael Ellis, as the NSA's top lawyer. We need to know from the Biden administration what it has found inside the government agencies Trump decimated.
