After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
@joekent16jan19 This is the most anti-somatic rant, by so-called trusted official I have ever seen in my life. Shame on you for adding gasoline to a fire. Completely irresponsible by someone who should know better if you wanted to resign, just resign, but there’s no neat reason this.
