    SCOOP: National Security Adviser John Bolton and his aides are considering eliminating the White House's top cybersecurity job: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/cybersecurity/article/2018/05/bolton-pushing-to-eliminate-white-house-cyber-job-523430 … Several sources say the situation is fluid, but one says it's a done deal. The White House did not deny my story when I asked.

        Charitably, bc Bolton is an obtuse ass? Less charitably, bc they plan on playing games with cyber. I can bee less charitable still if you want?

        Not at all. A very good cyber reporter whose best stories come out in Politico Pro for a few days before the paywall comes down.

        Replying to @emptywheel

        I really have a tough time gaming out the logic here. Is it just a "not invented here" bias? Is it Trump being insecure about anything that touches on the illegitimacy of his win? Does Bolton just want more resources focused on kinetic war? Do they hope to provoke a crisis?

        (more) Do they want no one looking who cold responsibly caution agains this admin's own planed cyber attack? Do they want to work with a bad actor or state actor to further mess with a US system? Do they want to get in on the cyber blackmail game?

        This is misleading. The NSA just built a new campus with "cyber command" and "NSA" all in one bldg. Opened last week. They are now looking at ways to bring everyone under one roof in a bureaucratic structure sense

        Does Bolton believe cybersecurity is unimportant or is he trying to create a way to backchannel with guys like Putin without NSA oversight?
