Former CIA Director James Woolsey has left the Trump transition team, a spokesman confirmed in a statement Thursday evening.

“Effective immediately, Ambassador Woolsey is no longer a Senior Advisor to President-Elect Trump or the Transition. He wishes the President-Elect and his Administration great success in their time in office," spokesman Jonathan Franks said in an email.

Woolsey, who served as CIA director under President Bill Clinton, joined President-elect Donald Trump's campaign as a senior adviser in September.

Aides to Trump did not immediately return a request for comment.

BUT There is a Fox News banner that he will be on the Kelly factor (2 more days and we won't have to type that again). Could this be Fake News? Hmmmm......

Woolsey was just on Meghan’s show, she asked him why he was leaving and he said that he was hired for the transition and the transition is ending.

Good riddance.

Damn right. He's a full-on GLOBALIST and a member in good standing of the Council on Foreign Relations and probably the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group.

“He’s a full-on GLOBALIST...”

I have heard him make statements that would place him against the globalists. He is strong on national sovereignty.

The CIA is the American globalist cabal’s central action hub. It is second only to the British MI6 in evil. All their directors are vetted at the molecular level. However there are the occasional apostate such as William Colby who paid the price. The problem with appointing air tight loyalists to high position is that their airtightness usually means that they are inept to one degree or another being as they need to be two faced sociopaths out the gate. Sociopath narcissists can never, ever understand that their minds are crippled by deduction.

The CIA needs to be absorbed into the DIA and it’s drug running and other black ops need to be put on public trial.

He is a Democrat. Probably told by the party...if you ever want another job, we’d suggest you leave Trump. You have 15 minutes.

That is not what he is telling people he trusts.

Who are the people Woolsey trusts?

No he's not against the NWO and here's the proof: The CFR has held a stranglehold on the appointment process for the Presidential Cabinets and agencies since the Administration of Woodrow Wilson. Only the most trusted are given the highly sensitive posts in Intelligence. Look at Bush #41. He was CIA Director. He literally added the term: New World Order to the modern lexicon. As in Islam, the Globalists are encouraged to lie to those whom they wish to conquer.

He most recently was employed with FLYNN Intel Group. Me thinks Gen Flynn is still the hub of Trumps transition team.

Good grief! The transition is nearing its end. Trump and Pence will be inaugurated in two weeks. It’s quite natural for people to start moving on from the transition team if they don’t have a role in the administration.

At age 75, Jim Woolsey is not looking for another job. He’s a very solid guy, one of the best Democrats out there. He has served several presidents with distinction, including Reagan. On a personal level, he is a straight shooter, down to earth, and funny as heck. I have had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times; he was not in government at the time, but was working on some projects in which my group had an interest. He would have no reason to remember me, as he moves at the very top levels and I was just an anonymous staff guy. I am way past the stardust stage, but one of the true tests of character is how a very senior and distinguished person deals with folks of lower status. Woolsey passes that test with flying colors.
