Partisanship in Spying and the 51 Intel Officers
The history of the DNI's legal authority is traced back to executive orders by George W. Bush and Barack Obama, which granted the office power over hiring, firing, and intelligence sharing.

Figures like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer are calling for mass firings to "clean house" of non-loyalist elements.
