Retired Gen. John Allen resigned from his position as Brookings Institution president on Sunday less as the FBI is ramping up its investigation into his possible illegal lobbying activities on behalf of Qatar.

In his resignation letter obtained by The Associated Press, Allen wrote that he was leaving with a “heavy heart.”

He stressed, “I know it is best for all concerned in this moment,” but he did not give a direct explanation for his departure.

His resignation comes more than a year after Just the News broke the story that Brookings received $2 million from Qatar while the retired four-star Marine Corps general led a program at the institute and lobbied the White House on behalf of the wealthy Arab state. more

As usual, it is a nothingburger.

  2. Trust is not longer a word to believe in. My trust in anyone is like a broken mirror. You can try to repair it, but no matter what, I’ll still see the cracks. I’ll keep my trust and faith in God, he hasn’t failed me yet.
