Director John O. Brennan said Morell will be replaced by White House lawyer and agency outsider Avril D. Haines, according to the Washington Post.

Why the heck is a WH lawyer with no CIA experience being appointed Deputy CIA Director? Perhaps he's being sent in to spy on the spys, and to try to exert control on behalf of the WH?

The Deputy DCIA is normally a career position. The whole "Cafe Erotica" stuff is a distraction from the real issue, which is sinking a highly political appointee into that position.
