All three were brought on board by former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. McMaster had previously tried to get rid of Cohen-Watnick, but was overruled by President Trump, White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner.

The Conservative Review noted that the NSC continues to be “overwhelmingly staffed with Obama holdovers (almost all of whom have retained their positions).”

There have been unprecedented levels of leaking during this administration — more than seven times more than during the former Obama and Bush administrations, according to a Senate report last month.

Drain the swamp!
Yes..drain the swamp..that's what McMaster is doing

Get the Bannon and Flynn people out...and get some competent people with no agendas in.

Yeah..they have a lot of Obama holdovers--because without them..they're lost.

As for leaks..well sure..because the govt. civil service despises Trump...and they wish him gone. Leaking is how they're expressing themselves. If Trump was competent..leakers would have nothing to leak.

Don't like it? Too bad.

Once the generals get Bannon kicked out, I wonder how Breitbart's take on the Trump administration will change. And if the two are at odds, do the loyalists side with Brietbart? Or Trump?

An "unnamed source?" Oh please.

Trumpers love discrediting any articles that cite "unnamed sources" that criticize Trump. So I'll cash in and play their card here.

No names? No sources? FAKE NEWS!

Deep State exists and we know it by the anti-Trumpers, the Rino's and the creeps that are leaking like a sieve. They got to go... including senators like McCain.

This is a fight between McMaster and Bannon- and the links in this thread are from Bannon's Brietbart (with poster crafted one-word anchor text to hide this until we click). You are getting played by Bannon.

Rich higgins memo was dead on. As long as Bannon and Miller are in the trump administration and nationalism and america first policies dominate, he will be the greatest president of our lifetime, he already is on his way. I dont know why the President is so enamored of all these generals, they could od alot of damage and they are used to getting their way as well.

So- if it is fake news you don't believe, it's fake.

If it is fake new you DO believe in, then it's the Dark State.

Got it. No wonder you are terrified. You live in a world of magic happenings and you have no magic yourself to protect you.
