Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis wants to nominate a senior fellow at a Soros-funded think tank as undersecretary at the Pentagon, as the embattled Cabinet official continues to clash with the White House over prospective nominees.
Politico reports that Mattis wants Rudy deLeon a senior fellow at the far-left Center for American Progress (CAP) to come on board as undersecretary for personnel and readiness.
DeLeon previously served in the Clinton administration as deputy secretary of defense. During that time, Gen. Mattis served as his senior military assistant.
DeLeon worked for Boeing as senior vice president from 2001 to 2006 and currently serves on the board of major defense company General Dynamics.
This appears to be a peculiar choice for an undersecretary, given that deLeon recently endorsed a letter opposing the presidents immigration moratorium from six terror-linked countries. The letter calls Trumps national security order beneath the dignity of our great nation and advised government workers to apply discretion, in an attempt to essentially undermine the presidents initiative.
As a CAP official, he has engaged in campaigns to advance progressive values. deLeon advocates for government to take steps that will be a lasting legacy to the progressive societies for decades to come. He is also a proponent of President Obamas Iran nuclear deal with the terror state in Tehran.

CAP is home to many Clinton and Obama alumni. WTH is going on with Mattis?
Who will Trump replace him with when Mattis resigns? Which probably isn’t that far off.
Man, this Mattis is not the guy I thought he was.
What we may be seeing here is, though someone may be a great general, that person may be naive as to politics and the damage those with significant ideological views can have on a government department. That appears to be a significant weakness of Mattis’.
Petraeus all over. I wonder where the defenders of Mattis will be on this one? I got skewered for even dare to suggest he was suspect.
As if we didn't have enough evil foxes, now we have Soros leading them.
I want Ivanka no where near the White House, she has no business being there.
In addition to the repulsive Soros connection, I am bothered by the revolving doors...what a web of collusion and surely corruption[?] as this de Leon is in govt. in defense industry, back in gov then more defense industry.
It looks to be one big bath tub where they take turns soaping each others privates.
You can’t drain the swamp when you perpetuate it with your selections.

Nobody naive about politics gets 4 stars in the military.
In addition to the repulsive Soros connection
Soros? Try Hillary. Center for American Progress was founded by JOHN PODESTA.
WTFFFF?????
What the hell is wrong with Mattis?? Is this guy stuck on stupid??
First the Muslim Brotherhood connected broad, now this???
This guy truly sold Trump a bill of goods!
I tell ya this .. General Keane was supposed to have the position Mattis now has.
I’m praying the President will realize that this is not going to work - since Mattis continues to submit names of TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED PEOPLE .. and therefore Mattis needs to go .. AND THE TRUE MILITARY GENIUS, GENERAL KEANE, should be appointed right away.
I know he withdrew because of his wife’s death .. but he’s recovered .. and now the President needs to make that change quickly .. before Mattis ends up destroying the wonderful men and women who prepare to go to war for us.
What Mattis is doing is making me very angry.
Lame Dog Mattis
There are more NWO-type post assignments. Apparently Cotton/Cruz blocked one bad pick already. MAKES ME SICK!!

If Trump wants her there, why not?
wants to nominate a senior fellow at a Soros-funded think tank
Hence my intro phasing....
It now appears Mattis military gravitas was over-stated to Trump in the defense of his candidacy for the post Trump gave him. Not too late, and Trump should seriously reconsider Mattis appointment.
on his knees for Caliphstate-he needs to go!!!
And why is IRS koskinen still around? WHY?
