Brennan deputy and place holder resigns from Klingons - PJM
2013-06-13
The deputy director of the CIA is leaving the agency and being replaced by a White House lawyer who has never worked at the agency.
Klingon legal counsel not good enough. This place is a faeces sandwich. I was promised a Champ approved legal team.
“As much as I would selfishly like to keep Michael right where he is for as long as possible, he has decided to retire to spend more time with his family and to pursue other professional opportunities,” CIA Director John Brennan said in a statement announcing Michael Morell’s departure. “In many respects, Michael has come to personify the strengths and qualities of this great organization, and it is difficult for me to imagine CIA without Michael’s exceptionally sharp mind, tremendous energy, and absolute dedication to mission. But I am comforted by the fact that Michael will be able to spend more time with his wonderful family.”
Taking disingenuous blathering to new levels. A smallish send off in the Directors dining room please. Cake for no more than 8 to 12, and I'll have a double portion.
Morell has been at the CIA since 1980 and worked his way up the ranks. He was passed over twice by President Obama for the top job despite running the agency for two gap periods between ObamaÂ’s three CIA directors.
Here, be sure sign these non-disclosure statements before you leave. We'll be in touch regarding the former employee annuity and mentoring programs.

I've posted elsewhere that while the inexperienced woman replacing Morrell is of course very, very politically correct and appears to have excellent academic credentials, that it's a very safe bet that she will become just another Porter Goss. That is not a compliment.
