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.

That’s why the new president got such a great round of applause that day, right? Couldn’t even stick around to see who the new CIA Director was going to be? I would guess from this they pretty much had things their own way for a long time and didn’t want the applecart upset! In this guy’s 30+ years at the job, how many different directors had he seen and he’d never bailed out? I see this as purely political - anti-Trump and nothing else.
Well, I could have sworn I’d seen his time at the CIA as 30+ years - must have been thinking about another article. Sorry!
Anti-anti-establishment.
There’s speculation on other sites that this guy resigned ahead of the leak investigation. That he may be one source of the anti-Trump leaks and by severing himself from federal employment investigators will have a harder time interviewing him.

Good.
“The CIA needs a MAJOR house cleaning.”
I remember reading that James Schlesinger did that at the CIA when he was placed over it.
Maybe it needs total re-building. Time for a re-badge. A less threatening agency name like Office of Strategic Services. Build it up slowly. One warrior at a time.
Good Lord. Obama blatantly used us servicemembers as his personal political pawns in budget battles for his entire presidency, and this little whiner quits already? Good riddance.

Good riddance to the whole damned bunch!
Contract it out to Mossad.
