Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis wants to nominate a senior fellow at a Soros-funded think tank as undersecretary at the Pentagon, as the embattled Cabinet official continues to clash with the White House over prospective nominees.
Politico reports that Mattis wants Rudy deLeon — a senior fellow at the far-left Center for American Progress (CAP) — to come on board as undersecretary for personnel and readiness.
DeLeon previously served in the Clinton administration as deputy secretary of defense. During that time, Gen. Mattis served as his senior military assistant.
DeLeon worked for Boeing as senior vice president from 2001 to 2006 and currently serves on the board of major defense company General Dynamics.
This appears to be a peculiar choice for an undersecretary, given that deLeon recently endorsed a letter opposing the president’s immigration moratorium from six terror-linked countries. The letter calls Trump’s national security order “beneath the dignity of our great nation” and advised government workers to apply “discretion,” in an attempt to essentially undermine the president’s initiative.
As a CAP official, he has engaged in campaigns to advance “progressive values.” deLeon advocates for government to take “steps that will be a lasting legacy to the progressive societies for decades to come.” He is also a proponent of President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal with the terror state in Tehran.

A red flag on General Mattis.
PING!
It is way, way beyond naivete or weakness. It is consciously done on Mattis’ part. He is not stupid.

Bulls*** about keeping enemies closer. These people will influence policy at the DOD. Mattis needs to GO.
GACK PUKE SHUDDER - lists....???
The news is so awful it is like being sent to live in a Heironymous Bosch painting.
Mattis seeks out Soros-funded think tanker for top Pentagon post
Thanks, little jeremiah.
Conservative Review cites an article from Politico which ultimately comes up with this money quote:
He has more recently proposed to the White House nominating Clinton administration veteran Rudy DeLeon as undersecretary for personnel and readiness and Richard V. Spencer, a former Marine and investment banker now affiliated with the bipartisan Center for a New American Security, as secretary of the Navy.
This is bad, bad, bad, bad.
And I figure you know that Jamie Gorelick is Ivanka and her hub’s lawyer? What gives with that???
Mattis and Trump are keeping the enemy confused and disoriented as to what is going on.
Why else do you think Trump included Mitt Romney in the Secretary of State candidates list and why did he have Rahm Emanuel up to Trump Tower?
He is a liberal general who should have sought a career at MSNBC post retirement.
WTF?
What is the Center for a New American Security? If it’s bipartisan, it is sure to be very bad, I don’t know anything about it.
Evidently so...
The Center for a New American Security is yet another Council on Foreign Relations creation. Mostly ex-military guys urging endless wars and worried about global warming and such.
I don't really know but it must be bad if it's linked to this hit piece on Mattis.........
Unbelievable maybe the old “mad dog” has gone mad! Dump him.
That’s the problem with mad dogs. They turn on you. President Trump, please fix this now!
We really don’t have much control over our kids.
