Devin Nunes and with efforts to shield information about President Trump\u2019s July 2019 call with the President of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NSA General Counsel, which involves supervising many intelligence community attorneys and interacting with intelligence agencies, is a highly sensitive career position for which candidates are selected, based on merit and free from political influence,\u201d Speaker Pelosi continued.\u00a0 \u201cIf Mr. Ellis did go through the traditional civil service hiring process, I request a detailed account of that process, to understand how someone with his credentials was chosen over other qualified candidates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2021\/01\/pelosi-sends-letter-defense-secretary-miller-demanding-halt-attempts-install-trump-loyalist-michael-ellis-nsa-general-counsel\/\">https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2021\/01\/pelosi-sends-letter-defense-secretary-miller-demanding-halt-attempts-install-trump-loyalist-michael-ellis-nsa-general-counsel\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s This?
