U.S. spy chief creates a new head of election security

ASPEN, Colo. — The nation's top spy has created a new job to coordinate the U.S. response to election security threats.

Pierson wiill serve as the DNI's principal adviser on threats to elections and matters related to election security, the DNI said in a statement. She will coordinate and integrate all election security activities, initiatives, and programs across spy agencies and synchronize intelligence efforts in support of the broader U.S. government, the DNI said.

Coats also directed the FBI, the CIA and other spy agencies to name a single, senior-executive lead for election security for each agency.

SydWeedon You're right, you're absolutely right...

DNI Coats has decided to “resign” in 3.....2.....1.....

i bet he didn't tell da boss

Now that's what I call a very smart man. The problem is that Trump and Putin do not like that so Trump will fire him as commanded by Putin. Wait and see.

I thought our country doesn’t spy.

Trump wants to fire Dan Coats and Coats is the only adult left in the room now that has a level head.

Lol.

TRUMP 2020

You've just blown his cover

Another crooked position

chompie97 Countdown to Coats getting fired by the main beneficiary of Russian hacking....

Would be good if truly impartial, but we saw the left’s Intel agency heads try to dismantle duly elected President Trump. Not so sure I’d trust them a 2nd time. In 2020 they will falsely blame some other country for the Dems Presidential candidate’s loss.

TIMTV413 The soon to be fired, Dan Coats.

Have you learned nothing about using the word ‘spy’ KenDilanianNBC ?

There needs to be a social media security job... THAT’S where the 2016 election went wrong.. Bogus stories spread like wildfire.

Translation : Look for realDonaldTrump to declare the 2020 election invalid after he loses. BelieveMe

Does that include investigating those who threatened to put a bullet in my head if I enter the US Election to become a US Congresswoman and/or if I enter the US Election to become President of the USA? Debbie

I don't appreciate Ken Dilanian's choice of words here. spy

Didn’t Trump once suggest that Russia could help us protect our elections from hackers?

Finally someone is initiating responses to election security threats - something Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell and Trumps don’t want. Be prepared to flood the streets with peaceful demonstrations if those 3 try to prevent these efforts.

This is great until Putin tells AgentOrange to fire Coats and Pierson.

.Sounds like an appropriate measure, rather delayed, but here now and prayerfully functional and productive
