He seems intelligent, well-informed and credible to me.

Is there any reason whatsoever to believe otherwise? I haven't found anything that would discredit him.


EDIT TO ADD:

I ask because he's one of the few mainstream voices to have discussed the role of Kosntantin Rykov and his post-election Facebook confession about running a social media campaign from Russia to get Donald Trump elected (and using Cambridge Anayltica and Wikileaks in the process). In a podcast yesterday, Nance said he was aware of Rykov's confession when he first made it in November 2016. If that's the case, then it suggests the intel community was well onto Rykov back then, and might suggest that Rykov should be taken more seriously in what he claimed to have done.

1. He's a patriot sounding alarm bells for American democracy.

[Frustratedlady]

2. I always stop what I'm doing to listen to him. He seems credible and is either a master at making

"facts" up or is well-versed and knowledgeable.

I've never heard him give a questionable statement nor hesitate with a reply. He is scary in his projections, but then we all know we aren't going to stay safe forever. Too many countries resent our wealth and power.

He does have the background and apparently is privy to enough information to be well informed.

Many commentators' voices go in one ear and out the other, but not Nance. I tend to pay attention to what he has to say. Some days, I wish he was wrong.

[GoCubsGo]

11. " Some days, I wish he was wrong."

Like right now. For the past few weeks, his interviews on Stephanie Miller's show have been hair-on-fire. The same with the one he did on Bob Cesca's podcast last week. Malcolm hasn't been wrong yet Those not familiar with him should read his book, "The Plot to Hack Amercia." And, realize that it came out BEFORE the election.

[Pachamama]

19. Same here....

I do the exact same - stop and even turn up the volume.

I always feel like “finally - let’s hear Malcolm’s take on this crazy shit happening...”

Read his last book and I must say, he has called it all correctly....

[katmondoo]

3. It bothers me that he has wears the Republican Flag lapel

I really like him but it bothers me that he seems to flaunt wearing the Flag lapel pin.

[nolabear]

10. How is that Republican? I'm glad he wears it.

I think it’s a mistake to let the GOP “claim” the flag. Nance is quite the patriot, in all the best ways.

[GoCubsGo]

14. I have only ever seen him wear an American flag lapel pin, but never a republican pin.

The same pin Barack Obama and most, if not all Democratic senators and representatives wear. Does that bother you, as well?

[Whiskeytide]

15. The flag lapel pin is only ...

... a problem for Republicans because for many of them it’s fake. I think it’s fine when it appears to be genuine respect for and love of country.

[Soxfan58]

17. He deserves to wear it

More than most repervs.

[whathehell]

28. There's no "Republican flag" -- That is our flag, the American flag.

and it makes sense that a man who has dedicated his life to the service of his country would wear it.

[Caliman73]

29. He was or possibly still is a Republican. He has made that pretty clear in many of his interviews.

I am not sure if he still associates with the party because of their complicity in the whole hacking and Russian cyber attacks, but he had been a Republican. One thing that seems clear is that Nance is an American first.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

4. He is very good

I trust him

[Soxfan58]

5. Intellegent, informed

And has a way of communicating trust. My wife thinks he should be president. I wish he was now.

[NewJeffCT]

6. he's been very accurate

with a lot of what is going on related to Trump/Russia

[whathehell]

7. I bought his book -- I like him a lot.

We even share the same hometown of Philadelphia. Is someone criticizing him, or something?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Not at all. I'm just new to him.

And he has said some very notable things regarding Konstantin Rykov, which very few other people have said so far.

[brush]

25. He's new to you? How is that, he's been on many cable news shows and on DU...

for several months?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

32. I mean, he's not new new. I've heard his name and saw a few interviews before.

But I only recently begun to very closely follow him.

[brush]

35. Hmmmm?

[whathehell]

26. Ok, I see..

He'.is a very interesting guy. .I'm glad MSNBC made him a regular analyst.

[bigtree]

8. he has a couple excellent books out there

...we don't have to judge him on feelings or our inner voice.

All of his theories and assertions are right in there, for our consideration.

I like his passion and I trust his experience and expertise.

[ADX]

9. Malcolm Nance is a certified subject-matter expert on terrorism and intelligence operations...

...who is well-respected, knows exactly what he's talking about and isn't afraid to speak truth to power.

The fact that even the cretins over in Freeperville don't really lambaste him as one might expect they would speaks volumes.

[BeyondGeography]

12. In addition to all his many other qualities

he has a place near Hudson, NY, in beautiful Columbia County. So he obviously knows how to live.

[jodymarie aimee]

13. too easy

like asking who likes blue skies....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

33. I assumed he would get a positive response, but there are some figures who on DU are polarizing

E.g. people like Louise Mensch.

Didn't think Nance fell into that category of polarizing media personalities, but just wanted to make sure.

[LuckyCharms]

18. He's a genuine bad ass, an intelligence expert, very smart...

and he tells the truth.

[Gothmog]

20. Malcom Nance is very credible

[milestogo]

21. He is awesome.

[Raster]

22. LOVE HIM! Look up the definition of "true American patriot" in the dictionary...

... it will have Nance's picture. Seriously, Nance called this Russia bullshit at least a year before it erupted. I *IMPLICITLY* trust Malcolm Nance and would recommend that stance to anyone.

[Mr. Ected]

23. My thought is I hope there are thousands upon thousands of him in the IC

Who are, at this very moment, working hard to prevent those who would destroy our democracy to suffer the consequences for their treason.

[grantcart]

24. First rate mind, first class patriot

[Grammy23]

27. When he comes on any show,

I sit up and take notice. He knows his stuff and then some! If you read his latest book, you will see a well researched dissertation on what has happened and continues to this day. If Malcolm has his hair on fire, better call the fire department and start the bucket brigade. Like others have said, let’s hope he is one of many thoughtful experts who know the spy business stem to stern!

[KT2000]

30. Always listen to him - a true patriot

He knew what was happening before anyone else was picking up on it, and even wrote a book about it. He knows how intel and politics works. I always have respect for those who stick their neck out because the other option is so much easier.

[kimbutgar]

31. Every time I hear him I get more nervous and scared for our Democracy

I listen to him on Stephanie Miller, he used to sound confident we would stop Twitler before he destroyed our country, now he is sounding out the alarm saying game over if the Democratic Party doesn’t take back at least one house.

[Polly Hennessey]

34. He is perfection.

Great example of someone coming along just when needed.

[Goodheart]

36. An American hero.
