"President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was a career intelligence officer, trained to identify vulnerabilities in an individual and to exploit them. That is exactly what he did early in the primaries. Mr. Putin played upon Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities by complimenting him. He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated.

"Mr. Trump has also taken policy positions consistent with Russian, not American, interests..."

Yet another grown up in washington "rings the alarm" about the dangers of Agent Orange.
Good article, yet another person heard from.

How did all that experience work out in Libya?

How about all the American blood spilled to take Fallujah and Mosel and those spilling it again to retake it?

You mean experience like that?

During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush’s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.

I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican. In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.

No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.

Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.

I wonder what reports he has been reading the last 8 years of Obama where we handed over 4000m and Americans have paid the price?

Makes sense. The intelligence community is well aware that Trump is being played by Putin.

They claim Trump is Putin's 'useful idiot.' That seems right.

Is Michael Morel associated professionally with Hillary now? Why yes, he is.

He was an active participant in painting the Benghazi attacks as caused by YouTube video. When Hillary Clinton says 'best information provided by the intelligence community" she is referring to her man in the CIA: Michael Morel Morell was the CIA official who crafted the "talking points" on Benghazi with the Obama White House according to his own testimony in 2014 to Congress. In emails later uncovered by Congress, CIA Director David Petraeus called the resulting talking-point language 'useless.'

In 2013, he left the CIA to join a Wash DC consultancy group with strong links to Hillary Clinton. Beacon Global Strategies, Morell's employer, is a ten-person firm whose co-founders include Philippe Reines, a senior counselor to Hillary Clinton when she ran the State Department. Reines is still her spokesman, serving in that capacity in what New York magazine calls 'a second full-time job. “And if she runs again... Reines will be onboard,” the magazine concluded in February 2014. Meaning that Morell, as a senior official at Beacon, will also likely be part of the Clinton spin machine.

This man endorsing Hillary is far from unbiased.

He lost my confidence at the bolded statement.
