Again, when you actually hire the best people, you don't have issues like these... Just saying.

Improving the economy, ending the Iraq war? Those things?

We don’t even know who wrote it.

Why are you jumping to the conclusion that this person was hired?
As I said above, tons of “senior officials” are career people.

We don’t know that.
But if it is, then it just confirms what everybody has suspected about Sessions all along.

In 2015, The Washington Post discovered a report that showed how the DoD was wasting nearly $125 billion dollars due to bureaucratic waste. In the report, they identified a clear path forward that would bring the defense budget down by 15-20 percent. According to the Washington Post’s sources, the report was buried amid fears that it would lead Congress to cut their budget even further.

Other projects include the F-35 program, the EA-18G Growler program, and F/A-18 Super Hornets. These weapons systems are extremely cool and groundbreaking, but in the end, they are just too expensive and rarely work properly.
quote:
The military spends a ridiculous amount of its budget on civilian contractors. In 2016, the DoD awarded over $300 billion in defense contracts. $100 billion of that went to just five companies: Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Gruman, and General Dynamics.
If you’re saying “good for them”, you’re right. The CEO’s of those companies took home a combined $100 million in pay that was partly subsidized by your tax dollars. And if you think that all that spending is creating jobs, the evidence doesn’t support that claim.
quote:
In 2011, the University of Massachusetts released a study by economists that showed that defense spending is the worst at creating jobs. If we were to spend that much money on infrastructure, health care or any other area of purview that the government has, we would create twice as many jobs. If you want more jobs and therefore a stronger economy, defense spending might not be the best way to do it.

President Trump was attending an event with sheriffs from across the country Wednesday when he heard that an anonymous administration official had written a scathing op-ed about internal White House "resistance" to his agenda. That didn't stop him from letting his criticism about "the dishonest media" fly.
"This is what we have to deal with, you know, the dishonest media," he said. "It's really a disgrace." Deciding that denouncing The New York Times for publishing the piece wasn't enough, Trump swiveled to face the cameras. "Nobody has done what this administration has done in terms of getting things passed, and getting things through," he said.
He continued by slamming the anonymous source, who he said was "probably failing, and probably here for all the wrong reasons." He also said the Times was failing, asserting that "if I weren't here, I believe The New York Times probably wouldn't even exist." And someday, when he leaves office, he said, the Times, CNN, "and all of these phony media outlets will be out of business, folks, because there will be nothing to write."

We don’t even know if it was somebody that Trump hired in general...
Or that this person 100% exists. There’s a reason that the hard facts are very limited, and even the little bit we have to work with doesn’t seem to quite add up.

Peter Strzok was a “senior official”. For all we know, it’s him.
