Last week, Edward Price, a former CIA analyst, became a media darling after the Washington Post published Price’s op-ed announcing his resignation from the CIA because he was unable to serve the Trump administration in good faith because of President Trump’s policies and disregard for the U.S. Intelligence Community.
While several media outlets rushed to interview Price and depict him as an ethical, non-political CIA officer who rejected what he claimed was the “deceitful” and “delusional” Trump administration, a brief look at the facts suggest not only is this a blatant instance of fake news, but that Price is a “fake” CIA analyst.

Trump has the option to declassify the names of ALL CIA analysts.
Then he can tweet them.
One of Barry’s boys?
August of last year, in the heat of the campaign....he got convinced to donate two checks to DNC and Hillary...totaling out at $5,000. No one ever said much over his salary in DC...but I would imagine that he was no more than a GS-12 and likely making $90k a year on average. But here’s the thing....after they take out taxes (fed and state), with healthcare, and TSP donations...that $5,000 was a fair chunk of money.
I can understand folks wanting to donate a $100 to $500 check for a big ‘good’ feeling. But $5,000 is a heck of a lot of money, and I suspect he fell awful far after the smoke cleared.
Is this the leaker?
It will take a long time to purge the Obama operatives and commissars from the CIA,national security agencies, the military and the Federal bureaucracy. Unless it is done comprehensively and in a timely manner, the Trump administration will be constantly sabotaged and hindered.
any photos?
These three should be able to find pictures
The story needs some photos of this analyst.

President Trump should look very closely at establishing a war room to answer this kind of crap immediately. Maybe staff it with freepers who can quickly dig out the truth about these supposed “not biased citizens” and put it out immediately. It would stop some of this crap in its tracks by showing it for what it is — leftist propaganda. Waiting four or five days to respond with facts is too long. This is a concerted effort by the media, GOPe’s and the Dems to destroy this presidency through death by a thousand cuts. While President Trump is fighting back unlike Bush, he cannot do it alone and a war room would be good — because it is a war.
Amazing depth of knowledge on Free Republic-— thanks
OK, Price really did work for the CIA. But for the past several years he was a member of the Obama National Security Council staff, apparently on a detail assignment from the CIA. His NSC job was serving as a spokesman and helping deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes run the Obama NSC “echo chamber” that misled the news media, Congress and the American people about the July 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Price even bragged to New York Times writer David Samuels about how he manipulated and lied to the press to promote the Iran deal.
Did he quit before he was investigated for ... his own illegal activities?
Just askin’...
Good question.
Good question.

Former Obama Officials, Loyalists Waged Secret Campaign to Oust Flynn
Sources: Former Obama officials, loyalists planted series of stories to discredit Flynn, bolster Iran deal.
EXCERPT
The effort, said to include former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes—the architect of a separate White House effort to create what he described as a pro-Iran echo chamber—included a small task force of Obama loyalists who deluged media outlets with stories aimed at eroding Flynn’s credibility, multiple sources revealed.
The operation primarily focused on discrediting Flynn, an opponent of the Iran nuclear deal, in order to handicap the Trump administration’s efforts to disclose secret details of the nuclear deal with Iran that had been long hidden by the Obama administration.
Insiders familiar with the anti-Flynn campaign told the Free Beacon that these Obama loyalists plotted in the months before Trump’s inauguration to establish a set of roadblocks before Trump’s national security team, which includes several prominent opponents of diplomacy with Iran. The Free Beacon first reported on this effort in January.
Sources who spoke to the Free Beacon requested anonymity in order to speak freely about the situation and avoid interfering with the White House’s official narrative about Flynn, which centers on his failure to adequately inform the president about a series of phone calls with Russian officials.

Democrats Admit to Being Lobbied by Russia, China and Europe Before Backing Iran Nuclear Deal

EXCERPT
As previously undecided senators one by one came out in support of the agreement over the past month, references in their statements to the views of the other P5+1 governments involved in the negotiations – Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – were strikingly common.
Many of them attended a briefing by ambassadors from those countries in early August.
