#1 I also write and talk a lot about politics. As a lifelong Democrat...

Yes, obviously a 'condition of employment.' Please make the necessary adjustments to your credibility meter.

#3 /\ Yes indeed, is that pink or salmon. I had to ask.

BTW, little in this article should be new to anyone who has been following the Burg for more than 90 days or so.

#6 is that pink or salmon. I had to ask

Mr. Wife, who studied art, says it is in the range of salmon-coral. I would have said pink, which shows what I know.

A solid interview, Besoeker. I suspect, based on comments I’ve seen here, that he speaks for many current and former members of our intelligence community. I look forward to reading Part II.

My favourite bits:

And then in December of 2015, I left for the second and final time. The reason I left then was more out of sorrow and anger for what I saw happening. And it really gets to the issue of the “Deep State.” I met with a bunch of people that were tied-in to some of our covert action operations – I was reviewing and auditing them – and these senior executives weren’t taking it seriously or tried to hinder my efforts. A lot of people didn’t want to have accountability for their failures. Or, secondarily, they didn’t want to have to go back to the National Security Council or even the President or Vice President and say, “Actually, what we’ve been telling you was wrong, or it wasn’t quite true.” And so I became very frustrated and I just didn’t see myself being complicit with that degree of unprofessionalism at a minimum or flat out treachery at worst. So, I transitioned out.

And

I also write and talk a lot about politics. As a lifelong Democrat, I share with my readers and audiences what I see as this horrific drift by the party away from what I grew up with in the Pacific Northwest: a moderate, sensible Democratic Party. For instance, I remember men like Tom Foley, former Speaker of the House, who was from rural Eastern Washington. Or a guy like Cecil Andrus, a sensible, no-nonsense Democratic Governor of Idaho. These folks are the Democrats who I grew up with, and my family was a part of. But that is no longer the party that we see. Instead, we see the party of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tom Perez, and it’s these absolute bonkers elements that I don’t identify with, are horrifying, and I think ultimately will bring the entirety of the Democratic Party down. And if that’s what has to happen, well, I hope the Republicans can keep a light on for me.

#7 Uses my "I's" than a drunken Scotsman. Perhaps Part II will be more revealing.

#8 If it's a Mod, it's Pink, not Salmon ;-)
