If you need any more evidence why Chas Freeman was not fit to hold the office of Director of the National Intelligence Council, have a look at his paranoid, antisemitic statement about his withdrawal: Exiting, Chas Freeman Attacks ‘Israel Lobby’.
"Freeman says, “The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East. The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views, the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and our government other than those that it favors.”
Wow. This is the man Barack Obama picked for a sensitive job related to foreign policy.
I’m mystified why O’Leary, Bernie Sanders, Reid, Murtha, Pelosi, et al aren’t in jail or being tried for treason.
Are there no consequences for perfidy and treason anymore?
Why not? Why aren’t the laws being enforced?
If only Republicans and conservatives and the “VRWC” could get away with such malfeasance.
