BLUF [Palmer Report] The Central Intelligence Agency has now denied elite security clearance for Michael Flynn’s top National Security Council deputy Robin Townley, meaning that Townley is immediately out of a job, as the clearance was required for the job. Incoming CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who was recently appointed by Donald Trump and is presumably still fully loyal to him, signed off on the denial of clearance. Assuming that Pompeo is acting on Trump’s orders, it means that Trump is now immediately freezing Michael Flynn and his staff out of power.
Not sure I agree with the Palmer 'Russian' or 'freezing Flynn out' analysis. |
