After 31 years sucking on the public teat he retires with a $100K pension for life and gets a gig as a TV network’s Talking Head Expert for a million a year. Ka-ching, time to cash in like all the other “public servants”(sic) in D.C. Or perhaps he will join the Security Industrial Complex and be a VP at the Chertoff Group.
Probably saw an intel memo about an upcoming terrorist attack and decided “Better quit now so I can claim “No attacks on MY watch.””
