I disagree with the second point. Biden will not have a problem getting rid of the guy, unless they are already involved in some public investigation/trial.
The ONLY reason this appointment would happen is because they plan to use him. Which indicates Biden won't be president. At the very least, they will publicly release evidence before the 20th and need compete NSA cooperation.
I feel the same way. "Burrowing" - or embedding political appointees into positions where an incoming administration can't quickly dislodge them - is a thing. But this is not a normal political transition and the enemy's enthusiasm for purging anyone Trump has ever said hello to means they must know this isn't business as usual...
Whatever the reason, it looks like they've succeeded in putting that particular piece in place, at least.
