Dennis Blair

While his own spokespeople were unreachable late Thursday afternoon, two U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed to Declassified that Dennis Blair, the retired four-star admiral who became President Obama’s first director of national intelligence, is on his way out. According to ABC News White House correspondent Jake Tapper, over the last few weeks Obama has been ruminating over whether to ask Blair to resign and has even talked with potential successors.
