Trump’s actions in office have been even more disturbing. His visit to CIA headquarters on his first full day in office, an overture designed to repair relations, was undone by his ego and bluster. Standing in front of a memorial to the CIA’s fallen officers, he seemed to be addressing the cameras and reporters in the room, rather than the agency personnel in front of them, bragging about his inauguration crowd the previous day. Whether delusional or deceitful, these were not the remarks many of my colleagues and I wanted to hear from our new commander in chief. I couldn’t help but reflect on the stark contrast between the bombast of the new president and the quiet dedication of a mentor — a courageous, steadfast professional — who is memorialized on that wall. I know others at CIA felt similarly.

I’m sure the American intelligence community will never survive the removal of a brain as massive as yours.
He sure sounds like a Real Security Risk now.
Good riddance to the clear weak sister. His departure leaves our nation better off.
CIA...Getting better one step at a time....
Someone will take your place, and defend America from its enemies, both foreign and domestic.
I’m so glad these people are leaving. It’s Bush leaks all over again, otherwise.

Yeah, but who’s gonna keep an eye on him?
If there was ever a case for “don’t let the door hit you in the butt”.
The CIA needs a MAJOR house cleaning. If this man doesn’t like Trump after being happy with Obama for 8 years, that is proof he should be sent packing. Quickly.
The corruption and incompetence are monumentally staggering.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Already posted article about this earlier. We don’t need more publicity, especially from the likes of WaPo about it, frankly.

I'm willing to bet that this guy didn't have a mentor who was killed in action, or that he's just embellishing his relationship with someone who was killed in action.
Farwell, Dupe. Don’t let the door hit’cha where the Good Lord split’cha
What a putz he is. His job is to protect America regardless of which political party sits in the White House. Good riddance.
The removal of that ego ought to reduce the space needed...or they can add some qualified and mature workers to replace him.
One, part-time ought to be overkill.
Soon to be indicted as a leaker....
There's a contingent politically motivated leftists in the agency that's more worried about making warriors piss next to transgender freaks than the mission at hand.
The Trump admin needs to go though that agency with a chainsaw.
