Robert Cardillo, former deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and director of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, spoke out against President Trump Friday in an op-ed published in the Denver Post.
Since I have been eligible to vote, I have never registered with a political party. I remain an independent with a history of voting for candidates I believe in I focused on their policy and not their party, wrote Cardillo, who served as an intelligence official for six different presidents.

To most Chumpkins, the "real scandal" is that "Woodward didn't let anyone know until now" - that their own president was lying non-stop about something so lethal.
Their cognitive dissonance, as you know, is absolute.

But, sometimes I wish these former intelligence workers would just come right out and say, "Trump is crazier than a broke-dick dog".
