Fired Navy Secretary Confirms He's Part of the Deep State, Pens Op-Ed

Most insubordinate employees would quietly disappear after publicly humiliating themselves and being fired. Not former Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer. After President Trump canned Spencer for repeatedly working against the president's wishes, Spencer penned an op-ed for The Washington Post titled, "Richard Spencer: I was fired as Navy secretary. Here's what I've learned because of it." In the op-ed, Spencer appears to have learned nothing from his termination and confirms everything Trump said about him and the deep state.

"It is highly irregular for a secretary to become deeply involved in most personnel matters," Spencer acknowledges. The former Navy secretary then goes on to say how he inserted himself into the case of Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher in order to undermine the president's wishes.

"Before the trial began, in March, I received two calls from the president asking me to lift Gallagher’s confinement in a Navy brig," Spencer writes. "I pushed back twice, because the presiding judge, acting on information about the accused’s conduct, had decided that confinement was important."

I did a search and nothing popped up with this header. Even using just key words. This disclaimer is due so being in FRepper Jail for: REASON---learn to search.

Anyway. Good riddance to this POS. Guess his radar ain't working. When the boss calls and requests something, unless it's illegal, you either do it or your job is toast. Sadly, this assclown's retirement will still be fairly decent. Probably be working at a major defense contractor shortly making a butt load of bux. And he'll most likely still be working to undermine POTUS.

Every time a Deep State puke gets cut loose, the country benefits.

Spencer needed a dispenser. He needed to go.

Good riddance.

Do any of these executive branch deep staters understand they work for the President of the United States?

Upon re-election, Trump needs to clean house completely.

Lead and rope deficiency.
Three minute tribunal and swift execution for sedition based on his OWN editorial.

“Upon re-election, Trump needs to clean house completely.”

Trump picked him and left him in that job for two years.

Having been in business from Main St to Market St for 45 years, PDJT is much more tolerant than any boss I have ever had.

“Spencer acknowledges. The former Navy secretary then goes on to say how he inserted himself into the case of Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher in order to undermine the president’s wishes.”

That is admitting to the crime of intentionally attempting to undermine the will of a legitimate government (in this case the President). Perhaps someone can help me with the term of that specific crime as sedition treason etc. don’t precisely fit.

He will definitely need the full 8 years, along with the house and senate to get obama’s stench out of government. He should fire every person promoted by obama. They are lowlife scumbags if they were promoted by that loser.

Immaturity is a key indicator of a liberal. When interviewing candidates it is critical to ask questions that expose immaturity traits. This idiot has an immaturity streak a mile wide.
