THanks for the clarification. Doesn’t sound like a big deal. He just made it officially known that he’s not been functioning as an advisor for a while.
No, I think this is a big deal.
That story is just kind of a cover story.
Remember, these are spooks we are talking about.
Woollsey was just on Fox. He sidestepped several questions, but I came away with two conclusions:
1. Although he was closely involved with the Trump campaign, he hasn’t been involved as an advisor within the transition team, instead providing on background and on the record explanations to the press about Trump’s national security and intelligence plans. Of course, that begs the question of why his role changed after the campaign.
2. He said the recent (post 9/11) changes to the intelligence community have been unwise, and he would prefer that the CIA return to its OSS roots, with less bureaucracy at HQ and more emphasis on field operations. This sounds like what was earlier reported to be Trump’s position which Trump has just walked back.
Actually, the guy was cut off and cut out. Woolsey leans neo-con and Jarred brought the wrong guy on board this time.
The Establishment war hawks are Establishment Republicans who do not want to make friends with TRUMP or his friendly reset attempt with Russia.
McCain and Graham and now, surprisingly, the Dems are neo-cons war hawks. All this over the damn DNC! Never China. Just Russia. Russia takes no guff off the boy prez and toys with him. Obama is miffed and wants to destroy Putin... over the DNC.
