President-elect Joe Biden is leaning toward naming former Obama administration national security adviser Tom Donilon as his CIA director, two people familiar with the situation said.
While Donilon is said to be the front-runner at the moment, Michael Morell, who has previously led the CIA on an acting basis, remains a top competitor. Both men offer experience under intense pressure and familiarity with the national security bureaucracy at the highest levels. But each man has some baggage: Morell has been accused of defending the CIA’s past use of torture, which has earned him the opposition of influential Democatic senators.

He must chose the one 'he' feels confident with,not the one others are comfortable with. He must trust his people and we must trust his judgement. That's why he was elected over the current pres.
As this video shows, the Obama administration was rife with war criminals who made money for the billionaires that manufacture weapons, deploy private soldiers, get paid to rebuild the countries we bomb and who steal the oil. JoeBiden BarackObama HillaryClinton
JoeBiden’s possible CIA Director, MichaelJMorell, wanted to instigate a war in 2016, saying Iran and Russia should “pay a price in Syria,” ie, bombing offices at night, destroying presidential aircraft, etc. He also defended the CIA’s use of torture & drone strikes after 9/11.
Obama 3.0
I wish the media would stop with Sensationalize basement Bidden picks! He is not the President and he may never be!

Pres. Obama did, with the help of CIA director and deputy director Leon Panetta and Michael Morell respectively, bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Wouldn't mind a '2.0' of that administration with that kind of success, with such dedicated, talented people.
Pressed the 'Like' button by accident. Sad if people do not read Politico article in full, for it mentioned challenges BOTH men bring. Give that 'top contender', Michael Morell, a chance-during a confirmation hearing-to speak. Let's hear him out!
all out of a job soon..

It's all very interesting. 💗🇺🇲📜⚖️😷
Just creating another Obama administration it sounds like
Hopefully Joe really is his own man and doesn’t defer to the left
The Odumbo administration 2.0 we've been there done that AND IT WASN'T PRETTY
He isn’t “leaning,” he’s appeasing.
How many qualified candidates is JoeBiden going to announce before the fakenewsmedia does their job? How can a president effectively run the country without appointing family members and rich donors to cabinet positions. Disgusting!
More of Obama's third term in the making.

Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?
Why can’t we all agree to abolish the CIA? Everyone except the neocons should be able to agree on this.

Don’t get ahead of yourself Joe
The left is in disarray.
Tough finding people you can trust I'm sure.
