Director of National Intelligence James Clapper submitted his resignation Wednesday night.
“I submitted my letter of resignation last night, which felt pretty good,” Clapper told the House Intelligence Committee during a hearing Thursday morning. “I got 64 days left and I think I’d have a hard time with my wife if anything past that.”
Clapper’s career in the military and various intelligence agencies spanned 50 years, and he has said he was counting the days until stepping down at the end of President Obama’s second term, according to NBC News. He assumed his current office in August 2010.

Don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Anybody??
either way drumpf was going to put his guy in there, but i think its odd he is stepping down before the transition starts, almost as if he wants nothing to do with drumpos people.
Apparently none of those morons are showing up where they are needed for the Great Transition. Maybe he saw it for what it was and figured leaving now was better.
I suspect that he may not want to deal with a really vicious scumbag like General Flynn. Or perhaps he wants to be clear that it will not be his responsibility when the Ruskies get our most vital secrets, including the names of our deepest agents. Or perhaps he wants deniability when the Russians invade Estonia and we do nothing.
Methinks you are right
Who would want to be instructing those morons in National Security 101
"You see Donald , you need to be aware that if you do "this" the result will be THIS!!! "
