Ex-CIA chief endorses Clinton, calls Trump an ‘unwitting agent' of Russia
2016-08-07
[Wash Times] Former acting CIA Director Michael Morell has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, saying Donald Trump is an "unwitting agent" for Russia who will threaten America’s national security.
If you can't believe Mike Morell, who can you believe ?
[sarc off]

Michael Morell, who worked under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, wrote in an op-ed Friday for The New York Times that he will do everything he can to ensure Mrs. Clinton wins the White House.

"Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision," he explained. "First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president -- keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security."

Mr. Morell said that in the four years he spent working with Russian witting agent Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, he never saw her bring politics into the Situation Room.

"In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument," he wrote. "In sharp contrast to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump has no experience on national security. Even more important, the character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even dangerous, commander in chief."

The Clinton death list may require an update.

#8  Yes, Secretary of State.... unless I miss my guess.

Gotta think Susan Rice is lock for State. Morrell is more suited for NS Advisor/DNI/DCI IMHO.

I do know he was hated at Langley.

#5  Admiral Stansfield Turner began the slow demise of the CIA. Gates, Panetta and Morell have sped the process forward.
