Last Friday, former deputy and acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell became the latest neocon to join the Hillary bandwagon with a NYT Op-Ed titled "I Ran the C.I.A. Now I'm Endorsing Hillary Clinton" in which he not only praised Hillary but slammed Donald Trump, as follows: "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.... In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation."
What Morell, who sought to portray himself as bipartisan, did not say, is that 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 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.'
What he also forgot to mention is that in 2013, he left the CIA to join a 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 Ferbruary 2014. Meaning that Morell, as a senior official at Beacon, will also likely be part of the Clinton spin machine.
But what he most certainly did not mention is that when it comes to the pinnacle of neocons (for Hillary), none matches Mr. Morell. In fact as the following interview excerpt with Charlie Rose conducted last night reveals, Morell may be considered the latest war criminal who openly conspired to "covertly" kill Russians and Iranians in Syria.
Attempting to justify what is essentially a conspiracy to commit acts of murder, terrorism and war, Morell compared his proposal to alleged covert operations waged against the US during its illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 and onward. The difference between the US invasion of Iraq and that of Russia's intervention in Syria, however, is significant. The US invaded Iraq in 2003, predicated upon a premeditated lie, while Russia was invited to aid the acting government of Syria.
Here is the key exchange:
Morell: We need to make the Iranians pay the price in Syria; we need to make the Russians pay the price.
Rose: We make them pay the price by killing Russians and killing Iranians?
Morell: Yes. Covertly. You don't tell the world about it. You don't stand at the Pentagon and say we did this. But you make sure they know it in Moscow and Tehran. I want to go after those things that Assad sees as his personal power base. I want to scare Assad. I want to go after his presidential car. I want to bomb his offices in the middle of the night. I want to destroy his presidential aircraft. I want to destroy his presidential helicopters. I want to make him think we are coming after him.
Since Morell's comments in 2015, two Russian helicopters have been shot down, one by terrorist organisation "the Islamic State," and one by Jabhat Al Nusra, a US State Department designated terrorist organisation also known as "Al Qaeda in Syria."
While we don't know if the Kremlin would be interested by this admission, we do know that for Mike Morell there is just one presidential candidate he would endorse: Hillary.
Morell: We need to make the Iranians pay the price in Syria; we need to make the Russians pay the price.
Rose: We make them pay the price by killing Russians and killing Iranians?
Morell: Yes. Covertly. You don't tell the world about it. You don't stand at the Pentagon and say we did this. But you make sure they know it in Moscow and Tehran. I want to go after those things that Assad sees as his personal power base. I want to scare Assad. I want to go after his presidential car. I want to bomb his offices in the middle of the night. I want to destroy his presidential aircraft. I want to destroy his presidential helicopters. I want to make him think we are coming after him.

Wow
I wouldn’t screw with the Russians, they have more competence in their little finger than you will ever know, big talker.
And You’ve already paid the price TO Iran dumbshit. They own your sorry ass and Hillary’s fat one too.
Is this the mindset of the CIA in general?
“We came, we saw, he died, hahahahahahahahaha!”
After reading this, Hitlery's brain issue might be some form of foreign agency payback?
The establishment sure is pushing the ‘inexperienced’ meme. Please show me in the Constitution where a candidate for president has to have 30 years’ prior government, law or financial sector employment.
As far as Rubio pal Morell’s pipedream that ‘we do to them and nobody knows’ may I suggest he view the tape released by Iran of pallets of money? Because Iran wanted everyone to know. Nobody was supposed to know the truth about Benghazi, either. So his foundational ‘so nobody knows’ is probably the scariest thing I’ve heard a former public official say. What does Rubio think about that?
“Morell: Yes. Covertly. You don’t tell the world about it. You don’t stand at the Pentagon and say we did this. But you make sure they know it in Moscow and Tehran. I want to go after those things that Assad sees as his personal power base. I want to scare Assad. I want to go after his presidential car. I want to bomb his offices in the middle of the night. I want to destroy his presidential aircraft. I want to destroy his presidential helicopters. I want to make him think we are coming after him.”
Why should the U.S. government do any of these things? Why should we be making Iranians “pay the price” when we are turning over huge sums of money to the Iranian government and removing hindrances to their nuclear bomb-making program?

I won’t fight Hillary’s F’ing War!
Another snowden is dead story is out. A claim by a mistress. More deaths than Abe vigoda
Fixed
This guy is nuts and should be kept far away from decision making responsibilities.
Is he the one who came up with the lie about the video causing Benghazi?
Idiocracy alive and well.
So, this is the “Arkancide” guy?
RIKER: You find something amusing?
SETAL: Lieutenant Worf. I like him. To be more accurate, I understand him. A warrior, proud, fearless, living only for combat. Exactly the type that will get us all killed, if we’re not careful.

President Trump has a lot of house cleaning to do.
