During today’s episode, I’m joined by Colonel Cedric Leighton,  Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations.  He founded the company in 2010, after serving in the US Air Force for 26 years as an Intelligence Officer and attaining the rank of Colonel. 

We first discuss the impeachment testimonies of National Intelligence Officer Lt. Col. Vindman and Dr. Fiona Hill.  We then analyze the problems that President Trump has created for the U.S. by openly disagreeing with our own intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in our 2016 election cycle, as well as why the President might be so hesitant to criticize Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Finally, Colonel Leighton gives his take on the move by President Trump to reverse the Navy’s decision to oust Eddie Gallagher from the SEALs following his being charged with war crimes.

Colonel Leighton can also be seen regularly on CNN, where he is a Military Analyst.  You can also follow him on Twitter, where his handle is @CedricLeighton.
