Dni in a sentence

That, to me, I think is one of the-- probably the strongest case for a DNI or a DNI-like role for the community.

Some of them, such as tapping former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) for director of National Intelligence (DNI) have shocked in Washington.

Democrats, however, are also facing the prospect of something they may fear even more than a Ratcliffe appointment: that Grenell could remain in the acting DNI role indefinitely.

It's clear that Trump has moved his most dedicated disciples into the DNI's office in order to prevent any more briefings on Russian interference on his behalf and to ensure that the intelligence community is brought to heel.

Many of the documents on the Russia-collusion hoax still haven’t been released, because of resistance by CIA Director Gina Haspel — a pure careerist — and attorneys in the DNI’s office.

Mr Maguire, a career official who is respected by the intelligence rank and file, had been considered a leading candidate to be nominated for the post of Director of National Intelligence (DNI), aides had said.

No one can perform the duties of both acting DNI and ambassador to Germany at the same time and possibly do either at all well.

Questions have been raised about how the president knew the details of the meeting, which led to his subsequent meltdown and plan to install Ambassador Richard Grenell — a Trump loyalist — as his acting DNI.

The DNI official overseeing election security threats, Shelby Pierson, was not able to present a rock-solid case proving Russia's assistance, according to the senior administration official.

The DNI’s office did not respond to requests for comment on Maguire’s departure and congressional briefings on election security.

Trump initially chose him for the DNI post last year, but Ratcliffe withdrew from consideration just days later amid questions about whether he embellished aspects of his resume from his time as a U.S. attorney in Texas.

What DNI John Ratcliffe say here is almost more important than what he say.

A DNI should be willing to disagree with presidential claims when these flatly contradict the consensus view of the intelligence community about questions of fact or interpretation.

Calling the complaint 'credible' and 'urgent,' he says the IG's view is that it does concern 'an intelligence activity' inside his remit - but that the DNI's decision that it does not binds his hands.

Clapper served as DNI during the Obama administration, and he joins us on the line now.

Furthermore, because the complaint involves confidential and potentially privileged communications by persons outside the Intelligence Community, the DNI lacks unilateral authority to transmit such materials to the intelligence committees.

I exercised the secretary of defense's authority, direction, and control over the Defense Intelligence Enterprise-- which comprised all those elements, but in the national intelligence realm shared that responsibility with the DNI-- Jim Clapper.

Maguire's refusal to turn over the requested material is, according to Schiff, believed to be the first time the DNI has sought to overrule the inspector general and withhold a complaint from Congress.

The letters, written by Jason Klitenic, the DNI’s general counsel, provide Maguire’s side of the story in what has quickly become an acrimonious dispute with Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House intelligence committee.

But unlike Supreme Court justices, who are appointed for life and can safely ignore the Chief Justice’s opinions, the heads of our intelligence agencies are unlikely to keep their jobs if the DNI wants them removed.
