Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation.

He was a miserable failure from the word go, and he didnt fuck anybody, he is swallowing his tongue for his total fuck up of everything and most recently Benghazi.

My active Army service back in the early 1970's was in the oxymoron of mlitary intelligence. A married person with access to classified information who is having an affair is, frankly, a security risk as they are open to blackmail. We used that kind of thing to turn some East German agents we apprehended in West Germany into "double agents" working for us, while pretending to their East German superiors that they were still loyal East German spies.
