Yes, I don't think a military career makes him more trustworthy than a renown journalist.

I think for someone so disciplined, having something he said in private around people he thought would maintain that privacy is probably frustrating, and it isn't in his best interest to have those doubts about the President known by the public, hence his comments. They're comments that are very similar to many others uttered by frustrated cabinet members and senior staff, so I just can't take him at his word that he has never heard anyone say anything like that, especially when his statement then went on to say that policy making is "messy" and contentious, almost as if to excuse why one might utter frustrations.
