This is not a good sign. From Free Beacon: Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Tuesday expressed is support for President Donald Trump's pick to replace Mike Pompeo as CIA director. "I think the world of Gina," Clapper said. "I think she is a tremendous intelligence officer. I've worked with her on occasion when she served overseas. She had a second hat as the DNI representative and she was great, so I think she will be good for the agency."I really question how much control Trump has over what's supposed to be his own foreign policy. During the whole Syria strike debacle it really seemed like the deep state was forcing his hand. Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon were the only people in his cabinet who agreed with him on foreign policy and both were forced out. Foreign policy analyst Professor John Mearsheimer talked about it in an interview in January: Mearsheimer: I think ... one of the problems Trump faced when he took office was that there were not many foreign policy experts who shared his worldview and were in favor of the policy positions he articulated as a candidate. It was sure to be very difficult for him to challenge the establishment without a team of lieutenants who really thought about American foreign policy the way he did. The few people he could find, like Michael Flynn, ended up getting themselves into all sorts of trouble right away. Steve Bannon is another case in point.Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook and Gab. |
