Senate confirms new director for spy agency, cyber command

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate confirmed on Tuesday President Donald Trump’s choice to lead the U.S. Cyber Command and National Security Agency, Army Lieutenant General Paul Nakasone.

Nakasone has an extensive background in cyber issues, having held positions including serving as chief of the U.S. Army’s cyber command since late 2016.

Nakasone, 54, replaces Admiral Mike Rogers, who is retiring after nearly four years in the “dual-hat” position leading the NSA, the country’s largest spy agency, and the military’s cyber warfare division.

During his confirmation hearing, Nakasone said he did not think Russia, China and other countries had seen enough of a U.S. response to cyber attacks to change their behavior.

never mentioned anywhere at all is that the continued references to our stuff being hacked omit the likely hood that the hacking is retribution

There is no mention of American hacking of everybody for everything

Hope Nakasone is NOt an Obama deep state liberal fascist. He could bring a lot of destruction on America. We’ll know soon enough.

You never can tell who is who these days, PDJT does not always get the best advice on who he should be trusting.That has to change.

Quick background check, son of an Army Colonel, married with 4 kids. Didn’t see any particular political connections. A lot of background as a technical computer geek whiz-kid. Pretty impressive.

Lets hope Nakasone has zero sub rosa connections with the liberal fascist Zuckerberg/Silicon Valley crowd, who supported and helped organize the magic negro’s Arab Spring and the destruction of Libya, our ally. They are a VERY bad bunch of treasonous a$$ hats, part and parcel of the organized crime syndicate which is now attacking PDJT via the FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSA. One would hope that Nakasone is clear of them, for they are his mortal enemies if he actually does his job.
