Mattis seeks out Soros-funded think tanker for top Pentagon post
Conservative Review ^ | March 22, 2017 | Jordan Schachtel

Posted on 03/22/2017 10:48:46 AM PDT by huldah1776

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.

Time for Mattis to be called into the Oval Office. Stop bringing hate-America Soros/Soetoro/Clinton operatives into the Defense Dept. or “you’re fired.”

ANYONE connected directly or indirectly with George Soros should not be allowed ANYWHERE close to anything of importance within our government, especially our military.

We should know by now not to believe all the praise of “rock star” generals. They never live up to the hype.

Correct.

Allow me to direct everyone's attention to the example of Colin Powell.

DJT better get used to it. He was his pick after all.

And supporting Rinocare will be a butt kicking and a half.

A couple more months of this crap and this Administration is done.

MAGA - Make America Grate Again?

P.S. If you hire someone who violated their oath of office by working for a usurper traitor, is this a surprise?

Center for American Progress isn’t just any leftwing think tank, it is a Podesta creation. Totally unacceptable.

Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped “A Zillion Times” By ‘The Hammer,’

Monday, March 20, 2017 11:16:31 AM • by yoe • 9 replies
The American Report ^ | March 17, 2017 | Mary Fanning and Alan Jones

President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper and his Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan oversaw a secret supercomputer system known as “THE HAMMER,” according to former NSA/CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery. Clapper and Brennan were using the supercomputer system to conduct illegal and unconstitutional government data harvesting and wiretapping. THE HAMMER was installed on federal property in Fort Washington, Maryland at a complex which some speculate is a secret CIA and NSA operation operating at a US Naval facility.

You see what happens when you start trading liberty for alleged security. Under George W. Bush, a full on unconstitutional federalization of airport security and subsequent violations of the Fourth Amendment that take place every single day in this country were passed following the 9/11 attacks . Now, the news is a buzz about Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah’s wiretapping of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, but Project Dragnet records are now providing evidence that Donald Trump and his family were being illegally spied on by the National Security Agency (NSA) under President George W. Bush.

[A couple more months of this crap and this Administration is done.]

I am severely disappointed at his presidency so far, and I was one of his biggest fans since the beginning.

I cannot believe, for such a successful businessman, that he is this naive.

Either that, or Rubio was right, and we were conned.

Sadly, yes. This trend in Mattis’ behavior is troubling.

I get your point, but they know the politics of getting promoted, not necessarily the real gut politics of ideology and party. As a star officer, he expects people under him to follow orders and support his positions. If not, they are removed. I expect Mattis thinks that is the way it is in the political world — ain’t so. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not excusing Mattis’ personnel actions — they are very disconcerting.
