Don't you need someone to review his conduct and write a formal memo to AG and President before taking an action in this magnitude? Back in January who would be that guy/gal and even have the time to do that in January?[/quote]
No, he's not some GS-scale Fed.  He serves at the "pleasure of the President".  Legally, POTUS can remove him at any time for any reason, or no reason.  It would have been reasonable in January or even last week when his wrongful testimony was given.  But the day after the POTUS "perma-pinned" to his account banner a misleading tweet about Clapper dismissing Russia ties is suspicious.

What's also suspicious is that people who defy him seem to have a habit of conveniently getting fired right around Russia-related stuff coming out (e.g. Yates planned meeting with WHC re: Flynn back in January)...and their learning about it from TV news. OK, the latter is just incompetence :)[/quote]

You don't understand how the government works. Whether someone is on the GS scale and whether they work at the pleasure of the president have nothing to do with each other. I was a GS-15 at DOJ, but I worked at the pleasure of the president. We had no Civil Service protection and no union, unlike our secretaries, who were almost impossible to fire. [/quote]
