I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.

::not the remarks many of my colleagues and I wanted to hear from our new commander in chief::

That’s why the new president got such a great round of applause that day, right? Couldn’t even stick around to see who the new CIA Director was going to be? I would guess from this they pretty much had things their own way for a long time and didn’t want the applecart upset! In this guy’s 30+ years at the job, how many different directors had he seen and he’d never bailed out? I see this as purely political - anti-Trump and nothing else.

Well, I could have sworn I’d seen his time at the CIA as 30+ years - must have been thinking about another article. Sorry!

Anti-anti-establishment.

There’s speculation on other sites that this guy resigned ahead of the leak investigation. That he may be one source of the anti-Trump leaks and by severing himself from federal employment investigators will have a harder time interviewing him.

My first thought. My secons thought was, did he google any non-extradition countries? And my final thought is "my gaydar meter is buzzing."

“The CIA needs a MAJOR house cleaning.”

I remember reading that James Schlesinger did that at the CIA when he was placed over it.

Maybe it needs total re-building. Time for a re-badge. A less threatening agency name like Office of Strategic Services. Build it up slowly. One warrior at a time.

Good Lord. Obama blatantly used us servicemembers as his personal political pawns in budget battles for his entire presidency, and this little whiner quits already? Good riddance.

This purse-swinging fairy had no problem when Bath House Barry put in a convert who stipulated jihad is a legitimate religious tenet?
