That’s why a Sr. CIA staff just came out supporting him.

Here is a cut & paste of this morning news...

“Former Defense Department and CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash blasted a segment on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle as “absolutely despicable,” after host Laura Ingraham and her guest, legal professor John Yoo strongly suggested a Trump national security official, Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, could be guilty of “espionage” after news broke that he plans to testify to Congress that he objected to improper White House political influence toward Ukraine.”

Here is the Wiki on Bash

“Jeremy B. Bash (born August 13, 1971) is an American attorney.

He was the chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Defense (2011–2013) and the Central Intelligence Agency (2009–2011), both under President Barack Obama.

As a senior advisor to Leon Panetta in both roles, Bash worked on a number of key initiatives, including the creation of a new defense strategy, formation of two defense budgets, counterterrorism operations, a new cyber strategy, and a range of sensitive intelligence operations.

Bash was married to CNN journalist Dana Bash from 1998 to 2007.

In 2000, Bash served as the national security issues director for the presidential campaign of Al Gore and Joe Lieberman. In that role, he advised the candidates, their surrogates, and staff on national security policy matters, including the Middle East peace process, counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, missile defense, and trade.

From 2001 to 2004, Bash was in private law practice with the firm O’Melveny & Myers in their Washington, DC office. His practice focused on congressional investigations, regulatory matters, and litigation. He then served as chief minority counsel on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the U.S. House of Representatives and as an aide to California Representative Jane Harman, the committee’s top Democrat.

Bash was a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Is Bash a Russian agent or a Ukrainian agent?

Many years ago, I scored quite well on the State Department qualification test and was invited to interview with them.

Long story short is that I discovered they are an incestuous little club who almost all graduated from the same handful of colleges and worked for the media before they became State Department employees.

They mostly hold the same political views and do not want anyone in their club who might disturb their convenient arrangement. Administrations come and go, but their inner workings change very little because the type of people change very little.

His working for Panetta AND his association with the CFR,(Council on Foreign Relations) is enough to discredit him in every way!
