CIA Deputy Director Resigns

Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell abruptly announced his retirement on Wednesday, and a White House lawyer will take over the second-highest-ranking position at the spy agency.

“Whenever someone involved in the rough and tumble of Washington decides to move on, there is speculation in various quarters about the ‘real reason,’” Morell said in a statement. “But when I say that it is time for my family, nothing could be more real than that.”

Morell will remain in his post until Aug. 9.

the quote,
“But when I say that it is time for my family, nothing could be more real than that.” means:
"You are going to resign and be quiet as to why, or it's you and your family"

Funny how all you have to do is resign and no jail time...

Wonder if I can rob a bank and then resign where I work and not get jailed...
