NSA General Counsel is considered a "civil service position." It's extremely difficult to remove him once he accepts that position - he's protected by civil law.
My favourite part: "As the Post reported, Ellis played a key role in gaining access to intelligence files that his former boss, Nunes, hoped (fruitlessly) would buttress claims that Obama had spied on the Trump campaign in 2016. Ellis was also the one who proposed taking the memorandum of Trump’s famous phone call with the Ukrainian president—the one in which he pressured the Ukrainian to launch a probe of Joe Biden’s son Hunter—and burying it in a highly classified server."

Read this report from leftist shitrag Slate. Their frantic and desperate effort to cast Ellis off as an unhinged Trump loyalist should tell you all you need to know. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/trump-nsa-ellis-firings.html
