More dangerous insanity by the Trump administration. If you voted for Trump, endorsed Trump, donated money to Trump’s campaign, whitewashed/sanewashed Trump (looking at you, “mainstream media!”), voted for Jill Stein, stayed home and didn’t vote, etc, etc., YOU are responsible for this disaster.

STATEMENT OF SENATE INTELLIGENCE VICE CHAIR MARK R. WARNER

~ On firing of Gen. Tim Haugh ~

WASHINGTON – Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-VA) released the following statement on General Tim Haugh, Commander, U.S. Cyber Command and Director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service:

“General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?

“It is astonishing, too, that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the National Security Agency while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app – even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office.”
