I come not to praise Joe Kent, but to illuminate how even an evil ---- such as himself has limits to the depths he'll sink.

"I always thought he was a nice guy. But I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security. I didn't know him well, but he seemed like a pretty nice guy."; -Donald J. Trump running the opening gambit in his like- clockwork program of mar- ginalization-to-vilification of former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent whom resigned in protest of Trump's war of distraction in Iran. The same Joe Kent strong enough on security to warrant nomination, confirmation, serve for over a year... you know... until he made the mistake of being honest about Iran's threat level.
