Good. In fact, this is GREAT news.

I didn't even know this guy was on Trump's transition team in the first place. I would have been apoplectic over that, since he's a long-time "neo-con" globalist, a paid stooge of "green energy" industry groups, and a global warming alarmist.

How the 'eff did the Trump team end up with a swamp creature like this on their transition team?

Eddie Du ‏@Edourdoo Woolsey came under scrutiny after implying to CNN that Trump could be "playing us" with regard to what he knows about Russia's role.

What’s the purpose of posting Never Trumpers tweets?

The Globalist Republicans, desperate to defend Ukrainian borders while ignoring US borders, are the ones who are losingit.

I don't think this is necessarily good. Woolsey was a sincere guy but not very effective. Nevertheless, he serves to remind the enthusiasts that while politicized and in need of cleansing, the IC is not our enemy.

Does this “Kremlin ship sinking” mean that blaming the Ruskies on election hacking isn’t holding water? TIA.

Probly so. It is a war now. Power will not be relinquished without it, and they know Trump is serious.
Pray for Donald Trump.

THanks for the clarification. Doesn’t sound like a big deal. He just made it officially known that he’s not been functioning as an advisor for a while.
