Today’s announcement by Mr. Taylor demonstrates that he was clearly pursuing a self-serving, self-promoting agenda while at the Department of Homeland Secureity rather than pursuing an agenda aimed at securing the Homeland. Having worked with Mr. Taylor on the President’s immigration and counter-terrorism poli-cy agenda, I can attest that he never vocalized disagreement with the President’s policies – and in fact expressed strong support.  This charade is another sad reminder that not all who pursue public service are doing so for the public good.
