Within 24 months, I predict General Flynn will be out of a job – Phil Mudd

Former CIA and FBI official Phillip Mudd told Anderson Cooper that he expected Trump’s National Security Advisor pick General Flynn would be out of the job within 24 months.

He gives a really interesting reason why:

He basically says that Flynn isn’t intellectually capable to be among the other officials that he’s supposed to supervise. Given his penchant for passing along absurd conspiracy theory fake news, this assessment kinda makes sense:

Here’s the latest craziness:

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s pick to be his national security adviser, claimed in an August radio interview that Arabic signs were present along the United States border with Mexico to guide potential state-sponsored terrorists and “radicalized Muslims” into the United States.

Flynn further said in the interview he had personally seen photos of such signs in Texas.
A CNN KFile review of available information about the terror threat along the US-Mexico border could not corroborate Flynn’s claim. CNN’s KFile asked Flynn for clarification about the Arabic signs, but received no reply. A Trump transition spokesman declined to comment. A spokesperson for the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “respectfully” declined to comment.

Oh well.
