Gen. McCaffrey On Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn

That's Gen. Barry McCaffrey, National Security Adviser to President Clinton and commander of the First Gulf War.

Click here for an article by David Ferguson at Raw Story entitled "General: Trump appointee Mike Flynn’s ‘demented’ tweets raise serious questions about his judgment."

On December 16, McCaffrey announced that upon consideration, he was withdrawing his endorsement of Gen. Michael Flynn as Trump's national security adviser. He said that he had been strong in his initial endorsement:

“But I must admit that now I am extremely uneasy about some of these tweets, which don’t sound so much as if they’re politically skullduggery, but instead border on being demented,” McCaffrey said.

“So I think we need to look into this and sort out what’s going on here,” he concluded. “I think we need to aggressively examine what was going on with Gen. Flynn and his son dealing with these transparent, nearly demented tweets that were going out.”

“I think it needs closer scrutiny,” he said.

Yes, I guess a penchant for insane conspiracy theories and reliance on fake news stories might give one pause.
