I joined the
@TMTonightShow on
@NTDNews to discuss the DNI Bill Pulte / Jay Clayton ‘switcheroo’ and the looming expiration of FISA Section 702.
Whether you call it sleight of hand or, as psychologist Robert Cialdini would call it, the “Door-in-the-Face” technique, Trump gave himself two ways to win. Either the hard charging Pulte makes it through OR he scares the “swamp,” they NO (Door-in-the-Face) and the Senate goes along with confirming the “backup,” Clayton, the guy the president probably wanted all along.
We also discussed FISA Section 702, which is set to lapse at a time when major national security events are taking place. Americans want reforms to the FBI, surveillance, and more, but if Congress lets it lapse and something happens, there will be hell to pay.
Thank you to NTD and
@TiffanyMeier_ for the great conversation!
