The August 20, 2018 resignation of retired Navy admiral William McRaven from a U.S. Defense Department advisory board begs the question why an Eric Schmidt-headed Defense Innovation Board (DIB) is still up and running in the Pentagon.
McRaven, who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, that some say gave President Barack Obama most of the credit, resigned from the DIB on Aug. 20, four days after he wrote in the Washington Post that President Donald Trump's actions revoking former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance "embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.”“The DIB, on which McRaven served, was created during the Obama administration by then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter. Its members include technology executives and others who are mostly from outside the military, such as Alphabet CEO Eric Schmidt, author and physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and journalist Walter Isaacson.
“Political donations by the panel's members lean overwhelmingly liberal, with some $2.4 million contributed to Democrats and political action committees that support them, versus about $236,000 for Republican candidates, DefenseNews reported.Long before throwing security clearance brickbats at Trump, McRaven was doing due diligence for Obama as Operation Director, letting the 2012 election meme ride that it was Obama and not the navy SEALs who took out bin Laden: “Now that President Barack Obama’s former body man and still companion Reggie Love has let it out that Obama was playing cards during part of the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, can he tell us where the president was on the night four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens were killed in Benghazi?

“There is no established timeline as to when Obama was missing from the White House Situation Room. “Love said that he and the president, along with White House photographer Pete Souza and Obama aide Marvin Nicholson, gathered in the private dining room to play a couple rounds of cards. "A “couple of rounds of cards” in this case being “15 rounds”.
“[President Obama] was like, ‘I’m not, I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing’,” Love said. “We must have played 15 hands-15 games of Spades.” “White House photographer Pete Souza and staffer Marvin Nicholson, who replaced Love as Obama’s body man, have known for two years that Obama was not always in the Situational Room on May 1, 2011. "The big question now comes down to: Where was President Barack Obama on September 11, 2012 when American Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were left to die in Benghazi?"Now that Obama’s out on the Midterm campaign trail stumping for Democrats, he ’s rewriting Benghazi history: (Fox, Sept. 11, 2018)
“In a brazen attempt to re-write history, President Barack Obama in a speech on Friday blamed “the politics of resentment and paranoia,” which he said had found a home in the Republican Party, for “wild conspiracy theories – like those surrounding Benghazi.”Arrogant Obama is counting on public memory being short. Meanwhile, the Resistance operating from within the accused Deep State have managed to set up an advisory board in the U.S. Defense Department. The very security of America depends on Getting.Them. Out.
