GOPDD: Gingrich – Obama Intelligence Agencies Corrupted – Need Total Overhaul

Jan 16, 2017 by Rick Wells

Trump transition team vice chairman and holder of future positions within the administration on a targeted basis, Newt Gingrich, is asked by John Dickerson to clarify the Trump position on Russia. He notes that while Vice President-elect Pence has stated that Mr. Trump is driving the bus, his tone towards Russia is much more moderate than that of his nominees for Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State. Dickerson asks, “If I’m an American citizen or a foreign country, how do I make sense of those two things?”
Gingrich reminds him that Trump has selected extremely knowledgeable people, citing both Mattis and Tillerson as examples. He says, “You know that when they have councils to talk about policy he’s going to have very sophisticated advice. [What] we also know is that he is his own person.” He says, “He’s an entrepreneur, he’s not a corporate CEO. He’s not a guy who says, ‘I want my staff to give me three options.’ What he wants is various people to give him thirty options and then he’s going to pick what he believes in.”
