The new senior policy adviser (retired general Anthony Tata) is the
worst of the lot, having encountered bipartisan opposition to
confirmation several months ago because of his bizarre conspiracy views
that marked him as a serious whack job. These remarks included the
branding of former president Barack Obama as a “terrorist leader,” and
the linking of the former CIA director (John Brennan) to an
assassination plot against the president of the United States. Tata’s
appointment, by the way, violates various succession laws because he
isn’t qualified to be serving in an acting capacity in a position that
requires congressional confirmation. Of course, the president has been
observing these norms and laws in the breach for the past several years
when so many senior policy officials in the foreign policy and national
security fields serve in an acting capacity.
