It strikes me as unseemly that former top officials in law enforcement and intelligence of the Obama administration have since leaving office become so nakedly political in public statements. Former FBI Director James Comey yesterday recommended voting for Democrats in the coming election in addition to his unrestrained criticisms of Trump. Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Security James Clapper have also shown their political colors in stark terms.
Many will say with considerable justification, "who's surprised?", but it still grates. Andrew McCarthy as guest on Fox News yesterday put it this way: "If they're playing politics now, why should anyone doubt that they were playing it when they were in power?" Indeed.
