I might be missing others.
Errata: Does anyone know what happened to the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs? It was given cyber responsibilities when it was created (https://t.co/zJHoUQh5g9) but I no longer see it on the DoD website. I assume I missed a reorg.
OMG, and of course I forgot perhaps the biggest unfilled cyber job of all: National Cyber Director, head of its own new White House office.
How will all the White House cyber officials work together? My read (Biden team mum so far):

▪️ NCD will be USTR-style principal adviser to POTUS.
▪️ Neuberger will oversee NSC's cyber work.
▪️ Sulmeyer will lead/co-lead NSC Cyber Directorate (& presumably report to Neuberger).
To get REALLY into the weeds: Neuberger's title (deputy natsec adviser) seems to place her on same rung as Sherwood-Randall (double title of homeland sec adviser & dep natsec adviser), but it's unclear if Neuberger will report directly to Sullivan or to principal deputy Finer.
Thank you, that's right. I just saw her name earlier today and can't believe I already forgot. My apologies to Ms. Jenkins. https://t.co/sWFivrGoSf

More from Biden

I got overnight via email a query from @briansflood at Fox News, the principal part of which I reproduce below. I answered by email too. I'll append that reply in the next threaded tweet:


My reply:


Hunter Biden's dubious business activities have been reported for years. Here for example is @TheAtlantic in September 2019, year *before* @nypost
https://t.co/qZBTpyuysM


That emails attributed to Hunter Biden were circulating was also known well before the NYPost story in October. Here's TIME magazine https://t.co/JvpEKdG0U4


What @NYPost added to the work earlier done by others was a new *origin* story for the materials that circulated in Ukraine in 2019. When other media organizations attempted to corroborate that story, hijinx ensued. https://t.co/ZJGZWq7etU @thedailybeast account

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
