Bill Clinton's CIA Director and long time Democrat is another way of describing him.

Judicial Watch Obtains New Information On What Clinton Administration Knew About Bin Laden Threat
The more we uncover about the Clinton administration’s response to the bin Laden threat, the worse it looks for Bill Clinton.
Over five years before 9/11, the Clinton administration was warned about bin Laden’s murderous intent – including specific threats to attack U.S. interests through suicide car bombings in London. And yet the Clinton administration took no meaningful action against bin Laden. As a result of this inaction, not only did 9/11 come to pass, but so did massive suicide bombings in London’s Underground in 2005.

A Trump advisor saying his opponent can't be trusted? Shocking.
Is the fact that he was Clinton's CIA Director lost on you?

Lots of CIA assets died under his tenure.
Lots being 1 or 2 people? Or no one actually?
Care to name a name? Or even a circumstance?
In court, Ames admitted that he had compromised "virtually all Soviet agents of the CIA and other American and foreign services known to me" and had provided the USSR and Russia with a "huge quantity of information on United States foreign, defense and security policies."[38] It is estimated that information Ames provided to the Soviets led to the compromise of at least a hundred US intelligence operations and to the execution of at least ten US sources

During his 3 years before forced resignation under Clinton he never even met with Clinton once alone and had only two meetings total where other advisors were present.
And your point here is?
Are you saying this is the fault of The Director, or Clinton?

I'll admit there are other factors to this I find equally compelling,
intriguing, such as his current connections and his intimate
knowledge of The Clinton's.

According to wikipedia as a "source" that claims
an estimated 10 "sources". Those could have been Russian
for all we know, as no names. This does not equate anyone
lost a life!
Is there anything definitive there?
I don't see it if so.
LANGLEY, Va. — The damage caused to U.S. intelligence by convicted turncoat Aldrich Ames was far more widespread than has been previously disclosed, according to the CIA's chief investigator in the case.
Jeanne Vertefeuille, who led the CIA team that eventually caught Ames, said in an interview that Ames provided his Soviet handlers with the names of hundreds of foreign agents working for the U.S. around the world, not just the 20 to 25 in the Soviet Union who were killed or imprisoned after he betrayed them during nearly a decade of selling CIA secrets to the KGB.
On March 10, 1994, the Committee heard testimony in executive session from Director of Central Intelligence, R. James Woolsey, about the interim actions he was taking in light of the Ames case. This testimony was supplemented by a letter from the Director on March 24, 1994, advising the Committee that he
would not promote, advance to a more responsible position, or provide any job- related recognition to, those responsible for supervising Ames or for dealing with issues related to the Ames investigation until the Inspector General had submitted his report on the case. Additional steps to tighten security at the CIA were also outlined in the letter.

Adding details to the damage done by the spy case of Aldrich H. Ames, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said today that from 1986 to 1994 the Central Intelligence Agency passed on to Presidents and Pentagon officials a total of 95 reports from foreign agents whom it knew or strongly suspected were controlled by Moscow.

In 1995, the CIA admitted that for eight years since 1986, it produced highly classified intelligence reports derived from “bogus” and “tainted” sources, including 35 reports that were based on data from double agents, and 60 reports compiled using sources that were suspected of being controlled by Moscow.
The false information reached the highest levels of government, including three presidents—Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.
The CIA’s inspector general urged reprimands for several senior CIA officers and directors William H. Webster, Robert M. Gates, and R. James Woolsey freebeacon.com...

Which is why I am saying it isn't shocking that now that he is working for Trump he is saying Clinton isn't trustworthy.
