. . . . . he's just retiring.
Not my favorite guy, but just another pawn unceremoniously kicked to the curb.

One way or another they enabled him and that makes them complicit.

(43,173 posts)....He pretty much had no choice but to take the job (as an active officer) and probably subscribed to the theory of trying to keep Trump in check as much as possible.
I highly suspect he was behind the leak regarding "DO NOT CONGRATULATE"
That doesn't mean he didn't help propagate some of the bullshit, like his see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil take on Trump's meeting the Russian officials right after Comey was fired.
But we're in a much, much, much worse spot with Bolton in and him out.
