This is so fucked up.
Found this via a tweet from Tiime magazine's Zeke Miller. See this

and he has a couple of later tweets about it, with an unnamed WH official trying to explain it.
But whatever the explanation, this is Gen. Flynn's doing, and a disaster.
Flynn's idiot son tweeted an article a little while back where the writer mentioned an anonymous source who knew Flynn's plans (the source was probably Junior) and said that Flynn wanted to get rid of the Director of National Intelligence.

Editing to add some tweeted comments by natsec expert John Schindler, whom some of you may have seen on Lawrence O'Donnell's show recently. Schindler's Twitter account is really interesting to follow.
His reaction to the Zeke Miller tweet I linked to above was "W....T....F??????????"

Handing our #natsec structure over to a bunch of angry & incompetent con-men who can't stand any criticism will not end well for America.

Flynn+Bannon are running the WH. Both are abrasive d-bags. They'll alienate everyone not in their gang in no time.
