I was kind of skeptical when they named him. One of the boys and probably a mole.

Jeet Heer Verified account @HeerJeet Jeet Heer Retweeted Jeremy Diamond Further evidence of Trump's rift with the CIA. Woolsey is the wildest of the Agency's wild men but even he finds Trump too much.

“I didn’t want to fly under false colors. I’ve been an adviser and felt that I was making a contribution and I strongly support Mr. Trump for president, I did, since September and I wish him well, but I’m not really functioning as an adviser anymore,” Woolsey told CNN host Erin Burnett. “So when I’m on screen, everyone announces I’m a former CIA director and that I’m a Trump adviser, and I’m really not anymore, so I just thought I should strike that from the chyron or as it comes up on the screen so no one is under false impressions.”
