    Edward Price writes in an opinion piece for the Washington Post published online Monday that Trump’s campaign rhetoric combined with some of his initial moves in the White House led to his decision.

    Price specifically criticizes Trump’s speech in front of a memorial wall at CIA headquarters the day after taking office in which he defended the size of his inauguration crowd. He also cites Trump’s reorganization of the National Security Council last month, which has been seen as a downgrade in influence for intelligence officials.

    Price worked at the CIA since 2006. He was also a staffer at the NSC from 2014 to earlier this year.

    “CIA analyst”? As far as I can tell from the internet, this guy is basically a spokesperson who had worked under Ben Rhodes who is the guy who championed Obama’s Iran deal.
