Four years after signing the now-infamous “Never Trump” letter condemning then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as a danger to America, retiring diplomat Jim Jeffrey recommends that the incoming Biden administration stick with Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East.
HE LIED ABOUT TAKING TROOPS OUT OF SYRIA
At the same time, he acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria.
“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019.
President Trump said up to 400, and Jeffrey says there are about 900 there if you can believe a thing he says.
This is an example of a deep state operation. They do what they want.
Under Biden, and with Hillary as secretary of defense – potentially – how long before we are in another war?
Jeffrey said Trump’s announced withdrawal from Syria was “the most controversial thing in my fifty years in government.”
Why??? Why are we everywhere in the world?
THE 2018 ORDER
The President’s order, first handed down in December 2018, led to the resignation of former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. It catapulted Jeffrey, then Trump’s special envoy for Syria, into the role of special envoy in the counter-ISIS fight when it sparked the protest resignation of his predecessor, Brett McGurk.
These deep state operatives are warmongers who do whatever the hell they want.
“What Syria withdrawal? There was never a Syria withdrawal,” Jeffrey said. “When the situation in northeast Syria had been fairly stable after we defeated ISIS, [Trump] was inclined to pull out. In each case, we then decided to come up with five better arguments for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. That’s the story.”
He agreed to 200-400, not 900.
Isn’t this treason or worthy of some punishment? Rep. Banks is calling for punishment, but nothing happens to the Deep Staters.
At the same time, DHS Secretary Chad Wolf refused to fire Krebs, who openly proclaimed there was no fraud WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE.
These people in DoD won’t defend our borders but they will defend people who hate us to the death.
Watch:
US officials have been lying to Trump – and the American people – about the true number of US troops in Syria in order to deter him from withdrawing them, according to the outgoing Syria envoy. Trump thinks it’s 200 😂😂. By @KatieBoWill https://t.co/P6W9s3Qwvs

In many of the previous elections the Republicans “warned” that electing this Democrat would mean the end of the Republic. It really wasn’t believed because there was ‘literally’ NO evidence the country, as a whole, would fail. Trump’s administration, and this election, has proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this country is headed to a precipice of epic proportions.… Read more »
Trump should court martial this clown. But instead there will be no consequences…as usual…which will make it happen more often.
Why is there no punishment for political wrongdoing? Because today, conservatives and Trump supporters are marching in the street in DC to show support for President Trump when instead they should be surrounding various state capitols and forcing political tyrants to resign.
Need to get priorities straight. No penalty for politicians breaking the law, so why not do it often.
Just imagine if someone had the audacity to defy the orders of the historic preezy of the steezy Hussein Hopenchange.
It would be historic and the person who defied the etched on a stone tablet order from the Chicago Jesus Messiah would be in gutsy call land.
As my video game cellphone Fakebook loving sibling said…this society is already destroyed.
I guess there may have been more than imagined with the “Military Industrial Complex” speech. One very Very VERY important thing Trump has exposed is a “Shadow Government” that makes “voting” for a President meaningless. In these cases it cannot be called a “Deep State”, because it is a government separate, and, basically, another Branch of Government. It is not… Read more »
This is open insurrection and they’re bragging about it because there will be no consequences. The military commanders are disloyal traitors leading a coup. And the American people are under house arrest.
there are two types of military leaders: those who earn their stripes in the field and those who play politics and brown nose their way to rank. Obama FIRED or RETIRED EVERY true patriot military leader leaving behind the political animals. I recall hearing at the time, Obama posed each military leader with one question: If ordered, will you train… Read more »
