So is this the reason James Woolsey former CIA cheif suddenly for no

apparent reason left the Trump team last week. Could he have been planted in the Trump team to
gain inside information? Or was he just another Trump crackpot.

But I think there's more to drop and whatever it is, Woolsey got wind of it from his friends.

The way he left was quiet abrupt, to say the least.

I doubt he was a plant. My guess is he took one look at that two page summary and decided it was time to go. Before it hit the fan.

and moved to not be associated with a despicable character, or should I say a deplorable character?

Hope that what it is, that at least one repug has some honor.

Oh my goodness....so much to absorb. Crazy times indeed. It gives me hope that this great country of ours isn't going to die in the hands of putin and trump. That there are silent forces still protecting us from foreign threats.

that former Senator Bob Dole, from a neighboring state, would be joining the Trump transition team.

Tonight at 6, as today's news about the golden showers was breaking (not on local fox), it was reported that the 93 year old would not be joining the Trump transition team.

My husband says..."Sounds like Bob got a phone call".
