WASHINGTON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday named ally Devin Nunes, a former U.S. lawmaker who now runs Trump's Truth Social social media platform, to serve as chairman of President's Intelligence Advisory Board.
Nunes, a longtime Trump defender who led the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee during part of Trump's first White House term, will remain Truth Social CEO while serving on the advisory panel, Trump said in a post on the platform.
As committee chair, Nunes alleged that the FBI had conspired against Trump during its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections in which Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
"Devin will draw on his experience as former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, to provide me with independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety of the U.S. Intelligence Communitys activities," Trump wrote.

How about going with something like "convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and President-elect"?

(12,937 posts)it's because he has them compromised. Before he hires anyone he has private investigators to dig up damaging information on them. If there is no damaging info Trump throws them under the bus. The real losers and suckers are not the military, but rather the Trump ass kissing sycophants who believe Trump's dissembling. Once they buy into the Trump bullshit they're forever slaves in MAGA world.
