Jim Himes: “that is the very definition, the very definition, of politicizing intelligence.”

Lori Jackson and Nicolette Elias should still be alive today.

The president has now assured through this appointment that the single most important intelligence collection tool... is probably the worst appointment into the intelligence community I have ever seen.

The only right answer – and I don't have a lot of confidence that it's going to happen – is that the president says, you know, oops, that was a mistake, and pulls the Bill Pulte appointment.

The president lied to the American people last night.
