    Idk why every publication talking about this keeps pointing out that he was in the Obama administration. The guy has served in multiple admins over the years, dating back to the reagan admin I think.

    Also grayzone? No offense, but those guys are loony. Founded by a guy who is a regular contributor to RT.

      Politically useful to blame Obama for everything. Not like the maga crowd is going to fact check.
