Former CIA director James Woolsey quits Trump transition team
By Philip Rucker January 5 at 7:24 PM

Former CIA director R. James Woolsey Jr., a veteran of four presidential administrations and one of the nation’s leading intelligence experts, resigned Thursday from President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team because of growing tensions over Trump’s vision for intelligence agencies.

Woolsey’s resignation as a Trump senior adviser comes amid frustrations over the incoming administration’s national security plans and Trump’s public comments undermining the intelligence community.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Hell he may even outsource our intelligence gathering to the KGB.

In all seriousness Trump's attacks on the Intel community...if they continue once he's sworn in...will only ensure he won't know about the next attack on the U.S. or have accurate numbers and positions on Russian and Chinese troop and ship movements.

If he would only outsource our federal prison system to Russia.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

There are still good people left in those agencies, but they have been sidelined over the past few years by Obama's minions. Clean house, pull the solid people out of the shadows and put them at the helm and there would be a revival in US intel dominance.
Keep the same bootlickers in there from the Obama era, and it'll be a flop.

You'll know them by their lateral moves in the first couple years of the Obama Administration.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
