Former George W. Bush Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff endorses Hillary Clinton
New York Daily News ^ | October 3, 2016 | Adam Edelman

Another prominent Republican has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Michael Chertoff, who served as George W. Bush's secretary of Homeland Security during his second term in office, told Bloomberg News that the Democratic nominee "has good judgment and a strategic vision how to deal with threats that face us."

Chertoff, who as a federal prosecutor led a Congressional probe into the Whitewater real estate scandal surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990s, added that "Trump's sense of loyalties are misplaced" and that the stakes, regarding terrorism and potential attacks, are too high to leave to someone like him

Chertoff even pointed to Trump's behavior at the — and in the days following — the first debate.

Big surprise. A self-loathing Neo-con douchebag endorses Mrs. Bill Clinton. These D.C. reptiles all attend the same Cocktail parties & Bar Mitzvahs.

LOL! All these “Prominent Republicans” in the news. I vote we tell Ryan and McConnell that “RINO” has been a valid term and remains a valid term - until they have been eliminated (at the polls for those who try to make connection that aren’t there) and become a endangered species.

Trump has done a big service for the Republican party.

Chertoff has over time shown his true colors.

At one time during the Whitewater hearings, I thought he was a stand up guy. He was going after facts like few did back then. And then it seemed like a switch had been flipped.

From that point on he went down hill.

For him to back Hillary Clinton, it means he’s gone all the way into the tank. He probably did during those hearings where he changed his tune in about a day’s time.

I remember watching him walk out of a Whitewater hearing clearly angry as he could be about how he had been treated in that meeting. And then he flipped.

Sad to see this so clearly and see a guy hit rock bottom.

If you can’t see Hillary Clinton as a corrupt person with no morals, you have none yourself.

Chertoff was on the board of directors at Keypoint Government Solutions, who was the government contractor responsible for the OPM breach.

Chertoff was the asswipe who attempted to pass off the years-long lack of border fencing as an “engineering problem.”

"has good judgment and a strategic vision how to deal with threats that face us."

Absolutely insane estimation made by someone that you would think is on drugs. If this fool and others charged with protecting and defending our Constitution truly believe this, then we are in very big trouble. We are so lucky that we have thus far avoided a major devastating terror attack.

I used to wonder why we could never balance the budget. I thought it was obvious to everyone that the Federal Government spends far too much and should never spend more than it takes in in taxes.

Now I understand why some people disagree. They are getting rich off the Federal Government spending spree, and they not only want it to continue, they want it to increase!

And they and their allies *OWN* the media.

No surprise there. The Homeland Security scam made him personally wealthy. One of the first ten lampposts should be reserved for this guy.

This election is starting to become dangerous.

We the taxpayers paid this man well to pretend he was a federal prosecutor who doesn't understand when an Elite Uniparty biggie [Billary and their various felonious shenanigans] has broken the law, and we also paid him well to pretend he was in charge of Homeland Security, when he doesn't understand when an Elite Uniparty biggie [Hillary's wide-open national secrets server] has critically endangered national security.

I'm thinking we need some claw-back of the felony fraud this jerk has perpetrated on the taxpayers.

Makes you wonder why all of these high profile people are putting their reputations on the line without even knowin what might still come out. There must be so much so many don’t want a Trump Administration to find out. The corruption must run deep on both sides of the aisle.

Now we ALL know these IDIOTS don’t care what happens to the Country, they only care about themselves!

Endorsing Hillary = 30+ years of a Liberal Supreme Court!

You are correct, and I will go a step further. Smedley Butler was right.

He was also the guy who testified to Congress that McCain was a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Did not say a word about BHO’s foreign national father.

the Democratic nominee "has good judgment and a strategic vision how to deal with threats that face us."

He's either lying or stupid with this statement (...or both).

Chertoff has come out of the closet—it is obvious now that he was a Clinton mole.

No wonder the hearings crashed into the ditch!
