Dan is one of the finest people I’ve known in Washington and a good friend. These “charges” are flagrantly scurrilous and he deserves full exoneration. In the meantime, a petition to basic decency applies.
🧵Over the weekend, I started to get many threatening posts like the below in my replies. They started appearing after several big accounts shared a clickbait article falsely connecting me to the leak of the Iran BDA intel - despite the fact I Ieft the Pentagon over 2 months ago.

INT. STUDY – NIGHT. Dim light. Books by Kennan and Machiavelli stacked high. I stroke my chin, crack my knuckles, and begin to type:. “More Kayfabe than Kennan: Donald Trump and the Pro Wrestling Doctrine.”.

Ah well nevertheless.
The US may not know the whereabouts of Iran's roughly 400kg of highly-enriched uranium, which is small enough to fit in "the trunks of about 10 cars"

Yes, with slaves under hammer in Tripoli and a permanent state of civil war, the Libya intervention has proved a signal success of the “break it, don’t buy it” approach.
One of the most damaging foreign policy doctrines of the 21st century is Colin Powell’s doctrine: “If you break it you buy it.”. Actually, you can just break it.

Right or wrong, this faction doesn’t want *Trump's* foreign policy or an America First approach. They pine for the “adults in the room.” Obstructionist and downright insubordinate deputies and cabinet chiefs who’d rather contrive or quit rather than execute Presidential policy.

“Real men go to Tehran”.
Trump hinted about more travel tomorrow. "We will be leaving tomorrow, as you know. Almost destination unknown, because we are getting calls: Could you be here, could you be there.' But probably going back to Washington DC tomorrow," he told us at the presidential palace in Abu.
