I’ve worked for several flag officers, in and out of uniform, including the late General Al Haig, who were CFR and in some cases in other, less well-known groups. Does that taint me?

Now you've gone from (#92) "Now if you’d told me that Senator Cruz worked at the CFR, I’d scratch my head", to "I've worked for CFR members".

Tell me, did you "scratch your head" over the people you worked for?

It's not that I have anything against CFR, but you are doing an awful lot of "bobbing and weaving" here.

Almost everyone above O-5 or GS-15 now has some relationship with those groups. It’s inevitable. No one came up to me and said “ ______ we want you to tell us which generals you want to work with and which you have a problem working for, so we know where to assign you.” That ain’t how it works.
