Even so, D’Andrea was “probably the most lethal leader in the U.S. government for his tenure,” said a former senior CIA official. “He was the grim reaper for the enemy.” The agency’s counterterrorism program under D’Andrea was “bone-crushing and relentless,” recalled this former

None dare call this treason, but I will!!!
Yes, I think it is treason too.
They got him out because he probably refused a request to go after the dem’s targeted domestic enemies! They are afraid that he will go after them!
He needs to watch his back!
