A CIA employee who contributed thousands of dollars to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and who is a registered Democrat announced his decision to leave the agency in a Washington Post column published Sunday, writing that his departure "had nothing to do with politics."
Edward Price resigned from the CIA last week and used the Washington Post to explain his decision that he could not "in good faith serve this administration as an intelligence professional." Price wrote that his "decision had nothing to do with politics," and that he "would have been proud to again work under a Republican administration."
"As intelligence professionals, we’re taught to tune out politics," Price wrote.
Unmentioned by Price or the Washington Post is the fact that Price gave $5,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that splits contributions between the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Public records indicate that Price is registered to vote as a Democrat in the District of Columbia.
Price rose through the ranks at the White House during the Obama administration. By the end of the administration, Price was the top spokesman and a senior director for Obama's National Security Council.
Price reportedly worked hand in hand with Obama's deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes in his effort to create an "echo chamber" during the administration's nuclear negotiations with Iran.
When the news broke that Iran was holding American hostages in the lead-up to Obama's 2016 State of the Union address, for example, it was Price who was ordered by Rhodes to begin spinning the administration's "well-cultivated network of officials," according to David Samuels of the New York Times.

Riiiight!
Trump should throw the Post out of the press briefings for this stunt...this guy deserves a criminal charge for what he and Rhodes did to the American public. The Post takes a partisan hack and lier and turns him into a martyr.
Unreal!!
Is he going to wear a PUSSYHAT ? I know his husband would like that.
Good riddance to this hack.
Why doesn’t rate for be in the WP? Who cares.
Since he voluntarily quit, he shouldn’t be entitled to unemployment benefits............But that’s up to his employer to protest once he files.
Hey Price, don’t left the door hit you on the way out.
Good. DLTDHYOTWO,AH.
good riddance.....probably a traitor anyway...most rats are....
I think most of them are special needs.
“You are Number Six!”
Probably a pedophile
Number 6: Who is number 1 !!!
Number 2: You are, number 6.
Who cares?
He’s not only a fraud, he’s a liar. Typical Clintoonie @$$kisser.
If his lack of logic is an example of what kind of intelligence (lack of) we have working in DC, no wonder we are in a world of hurt.
And Edward, if Obama can’t play golf with you, go play with yourself.
I don’t care why he quit, just so long as he’s GONE!
