I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.
washingtonpost.com ^ | 2/21/2017 | Edward Price

Posted on 02/21/2017 8:09:26 AM PST by rktman

Trump’s actions in office have been even more disturbing. His visit to CIA headquarters on his first full day in office, an overture designed to repair relations, was undone by his ego and bluster. Standing in front of a memorial to the CIA’s fallen officers, he seemed to be addressing the cameras and reporters in the room, rather than the agency personnel in front of them, bragging about his inauguration crowd the previous day. Whether delusional or deceitful, these were not the remarks many of my colleagues and I wanted to hear from our new commander in chief. I couldn’t help but reflect on the stark contrast between the bombast of the new president and the quiet dedication of a mentor — a courageous, steadfast professional — who is memorialized on that wall. I know others at CIA felt similarly.

I'm betting dollars to donuts this is fake. What's the likelihood this kid is even in contact with field agents?

Did this guy just self-out himself as a CIA analyst?

Is he another Valerie Plame? The Left went into hyper-drive at the thought that someone in George Bush's administration divulged the identity of a CIA analyst.

Is this guy allowed to out himself as CIA, or was he covered by some "secrets" act or non-disclosure contracts to keep his agency involvement secret from the general public?

More likely Communist Muslim sleeper cell members hired on by John Brennan

If you don't like the new boss, see ya. Good luck in your next endeavors.

I've quit jobs before because of management changes; people do it every day. Why is this news, I wonder?

Who cares??

Many Americans are unhappy in their jobs, so they find other work. Who gives a flying f*** if some CIA apparatchik wants to leave?

Edward Price, you are displaying the behavior of a narcissistically injured individual.

I know a lot of veterans who hated having Obama as the CinC. None of them quit and went whining to the Washington Post. NOT ONE. This clown needs to get one of those vagina costumes people like him wear to leftwing tantrum riots.

“Stephen K. Bannon, who cut his teeth as a media champion of white nationalism”

As we can see from this quote, the departure of Mr. Price from the CIA marks a significant step in making America intelligent again.

I guess the CIA will have to limp along without you then.

If I wasn’t so old and hate the traffic in NoVa I’d be willing to take his place.

The CIA needs to be replaced and shut down.

Peace out. Good tidings, FRiend.

This guy and his ilk are not very professional; they are partisan hacks. Too many people like him still lingering around. If you can’t serve the country and the American people and you can’t do the mission because of your ideology, then you need to do something else.

Shhhhhh. You want Scooter Libby to verify if for us? Otherwise, it has to remain a secret. ;-)

Seems to be running on 5 out of 8 cylinders a lot of the time.
