Last Friday, former deputy and acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell became the latest neocon to join the Hillary bandwagon with a NYT Op-Ed titled "I Ran the C.I.A. Now I'm Endorsing Hillary Clinton" in which he not only praised Hillary but slammed Donald Trump, as follows: "Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.... In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation."

What Morell, who sought to portray himself as bipartisan, did not say, is that he was an active participant in painting the Benghazi attacks as caused by YouTube video. When Hillary Clinton says 'best information provided by the intelligence community" she is referring to her man in the CIA: Michael Morell was the CIA official who crafted the "talking points" on Benghazi with the Obama White House according to his own testimony in 2014 to Congress. In emails later uncovered by Congress, CIA Director David Petraeus called the resulting talking-point language 'useless.'

What he also forgot to mention is that in 2013, he left the CIA to join a DC consultancy group with strong links to Hillary Clinton. Beacon Global Strategies, Morell's employer, is a ten-person firm whose co-founders include Philippe Reines, a senior counselor to Hillary Clinton when she ran the State Department. Reines is still her spokesman, serving in that capacity in what New York magazine calls 'a second full-time job. “And if she runs again... Reines will be onboard,” the magazine concluded in Ferbruary 2014. Meaning that

Is this the same idiot that I saw in a pro Clinton ad? He was babbling that Trump should not have our nuclear codes. Yet it is okay for someone who would sell them the highest bidder;i.e. our enemies.

This Morell guy is a complete fruit loop. Just the kind of psycho Hillary the sociopath might put back in the CIA.

“I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe.” The fact that he can actually say this with a straight face after the e-mail issues says a whole lot about his inability to think.

What a psychopath!

I guess he wants nuclear war with Russia?

Did he forget the Russians have nuclear subs that could on each coast?

What an idiot!

This idiot can enjoy a double shot of Polonium too. Russia can respond in kind in a not so kind way. I wouldn’t start no trouble with that land mass.

[dfwgator]

I don’t want any Americans dying in Hillary’s Wars.

That’s a fact.

It is sad that so many people today have not and do not study history.

Russians have historically absorbed tremendous losses and hardships and kept chugging along. Russia lost more people during WWII than the rest of Europe COMBINED. Yet, they dug in and fought ferociously at Stalingrad, and turned the tide of the war in the east, and marched on to crush Germany from the east. Hardship and loss is mother’s milk to Russians.
