Today was Dan Coats’ last day as the Director of National Intelligence. And candidates to take over are in short supply.
Within the intelligence community, Hoekstra is viewed “as more a partisan” choice than some other potential candidates, according to a former ODNI official. The official also noted that Hoekstra chaired the Intelligence Committee from 2004 to 2007 and was its ranking member from 2007 to 2011, in an era before Russia’s resurgence, the rise of digital warfare and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s devastating leaks about the government’s most secret spying programs.
Rogers has other supporters within the intelligence community. Doug Wise, a retired CIA officer and former deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said the nation “would be exceptionally well-served if Trump was to appoint him as the DNI.” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, who worked alongside Rogers for four years as the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said the former congressman “understands that there is no room for politics when it comes to our national security. He’s tough, he’s fair and he’s independent — he will speak truth to power.”Some intelligence veterans dismissed the possibility of Nunes getting the nod, despite his close ties to the president.
Former officials didn’t rule out the possibility that Trump would just choose to nominate Maguire, who has already been confirmed by the Senate, to be DNI. Trump has offered no timeline for how long Maguire would stay in the acting role. “I’m in no rush because we have a great acting [director],” he said last week.
