As a former naval officer, I like the cut of his jib. Sounds Iike a straight shooter. I wonder if Eddie Gallagher knows him.

Too many entrenched Government Goons are working against you, President Trump, and against WE THE PEOPLE!

Gordon, a career intelligence official,

That's already a big red F- from me.

despite concerns from Capitol Hill, where Gordon is widely respected.
