This is weird timing, it seems he was going to have to leave in the next few weeks anyways due to timing out. And the Senate needed to vote for the actual person to take the DNI role, so Trump would need to appoint someone serious.
Also he supported the whistleblower.

So is this just Trump assigning a minion to get him the name of the whistleblower and whatever dirt the previous DNI's would not in the couple week window he has left?
This is very scary stuff for the people who Trump perceives are his enemy.
Who knew Omarosa was so spot on.

Now according to Morning Joe (Politico Story) Trump is also appointing Devin Nunes staffer who was the go between with Lev Parnas into a top position with the Right Wingnut Grenell. He is gutting the leadership of the Intelligence community so nobody can push back against Russia/Saudi/Chinese cults/etc impacting our elections in Dear Leaders favor.

The whole Intelligence Dept is getting replaced with Trump loyalists. Its not just Grenel.
How long will it take to oust McConnell, ffs? Until he is gone nobody can stop any of this crap.

wow.
shits going to hit the fan hard if we don't vote them all out It's going to continue to get worse,
the Grand Ole Party has become the party of Trump and will hopefully dissolve into the air like a fart in the wind leaving a certain stench behind and a lingering smell no American will ever want to smell again.
Vote Republicans Out !!!

Trump is literally draining the swamp, and refilling it with the waste of a toxic cesspool.
All empires fall eventually. It truly feels we're on the cusp of another historic collapse.

There are interesting historic parallels.
This one comes to mind:
Top of the page, listen to "The Storm before the storm". OK, so it's a few minutes shy of an hour long, so, put the headphones on and listen while trimming or doing the dishes or something. The narrator is pretty good.
It's about a turning point in Roman history when a group of powerful elites in Rome defeated a popular movement in a display of raw power that put to rest the notion that the Roman Republic was an institution. It was not unlike the recent display that took place during Trump's impeachment trial where his lawyers defended Trump by claiming he had the powers of a king and the Republican Senators agreed. Nobody died in the hall, so it's not the same but there are similarities.
The lesson I took away from this is that we have to defend the institution of Congress no matter the price. If we let the wealthy just do what they want, the US will be on the road to rule by decree. If that happens, as you say, we will decline and collapse is inevitable. As that plague victim said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Not dead yet".
