A former Intel Official has told NBC’s Ken Dilianian about the brutality of this firing.
“The way this was done, I think was to send a message to the FBI agents left behind,” the unnamed former intelligence official told Dilanian. “It’s not just that they removed him—it’s that they did it in the most thuggish and humiliating way possible.”
“No notice, no nothing—instant execution,” the official continued. “The body guard delivers the letter to headquarters.”
“I think that was designed to send a message: Cut this shit out, or this will happen to you.”
“This is like the horse head in the bed,” the official continued, referring to the iconic scene from Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather.”
Franken has done most of the work here I admit, but I appreciate being able to help his words get noticed.
