When we see people like #JoeKent resign from the #Trump administration, like the long litany of people before him ( #mikepompeo #johnbolton...), we shouldn't be too quick to salute their courage. They are not leaving because the lie was becoming unbearable. They are leaving because the lie ceased to serve them.

Trump counter-terrorism chief quits over Iran war, blaming Israel

Joe Kent resigned as national counter-terrorism center director, saying Iran posed no imminent threat to the US

The Guardian

In Trump’s first term, CI-12 was instrumental in tracking potential #threats from the #Iran regime in retaliation for the 2020 drone strike that “killed” [assassinated] Gen. Qasem #Soleimani, then-leader of Iran’s #IRGC Quds Force.

Iran-backed actors have since been charged with plots to #assassinate US officials that Iran has blamed for Soleimani’s death, including #Trump, fmr Secy of State #MikePompeo & fmr #NationalSecurity adviser #JohnBolton.
