William Burns

quote:

Burns, currently the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, previously had a 33-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service. He served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs and Deputy Secretary of State in the Obama administration, after holding positions including U.S. Ambassador to Russia and Jordan


Here's the gem in the article:

quote:

Biden said in a statement. "He shares my profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical



Found another gem:

quote:

"He will lead the CIA with independence


And you can call him Dr. Burns...think Frank Burns from MASH

quote:

Burns, who has master’s and doctoral degrees in international relations from Oxford University


Career Government employee...not sure what makes him worthy of leading our spooks....oh yeah I see it....he worked for Obama.

Guy was on the Endowment for international peace and undersecretary of state under Obama. Think about that for a moment.

Brennan was their previous choice, an active communist who used his position to leak information to the press for political gain and spied on a presidential candidate. Can't imagine this will be much better.

CIA and FBI are anti American and need to be shut down.

Keep wondering why Trump left Wray in office.

Agreed, I love President Trump and will probably cry like a baby when he passes away... God willing in 20 or 30 years.

But his biggest failure was hiring deep staters who he thought were honorable men and women.

Since he wasn’t a politician, he dint have an army of friends to take those positions of power he could trust to do the right thing.

Trump should have dumped Pence and named Pompeo as the VP to help with eliminating the Deep Staters.

CIA has been corrupt and incompetent from the start. This is no different. They make their own foreign policy decisions. CIA is the swamp.

this times 1 million. Trump had no network of trusted friends who could do all of those jobs.

That would have actually been a fantastic idea!

As soon as Pence even hinted that he was a limp wristed puss, he should have been jettisoned
