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

David Corn Verified account ‏@DavidCornDC David Corn Retweeted Philip Rucker Big deal. Flynn pushing aside former CIA director. But why did Woolsey, an advocate for climate change, back Trump?

“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.”
