Anyone or anything connected with the CIA is highly suspect.
David Evan McMullin[1] (born April 2, 1976) is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operations officer who ran as an independent during the 2016 United States presidential election.
McMullin was an operations officer of the CIA from 2001–2010. He then worked for about a year and a half as an investment banker after receiving an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. He was a senior adviser on national security issues for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs from 2013–2015, and served as a chief policy director for the House Republican Conference in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 2015 through July 2016.
In August 2016, McMullin launched a presidential campaign in the 2016 election for President of the United States, as an independent candidate backed by the organization Better for America. Receiving support from some members of the “Never Trump” movement,[2] polling taken late in the campaign showed him ahead of major party nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in his home state of Utah.[3] In the end, McMullin received 21.5% in Utah,[4] taking third place in that state behind Trump and Clinton. Nationally, he received 0.53% of the popular vote.[5]
Following his defeat, McMullin has emerged as a vocal critic of the Trump Administration.
If McMullin had carried Utah, that could have resulted in neither major candidate getting 270 votes, in which case the House of Representatives would have chosen between Trump, Hillary, and McMullin...with each state having one vote.
By my calculations, Trump would have had the votes of 32 states, Hillary of 17, with one state (Maine) evenly divided.
That's assuming that the Congressmen from Utah did not vote for McMullin and that no Republican Congressmen changed their vote because they were being blackmailed.
