After the disgusting political assassination of General Michael Flynn, President Trump had to find a leader who would be ready for anything.
Enter retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward.
Harward is currently a defense contractor executive, a retired United States Navy SEAL and a former Deputy Commander of the United States Central Command, under the leadership command of General James Mattis.
He is a man you do NOT want to mess with.
Knowing that so many of Obama’s people are still doing his bidding and leaking confidential information to the liberal media, Harward had to find a way to keep his unit secure.
So Harward is making a seriously smart move, he is doing a FULL housecleaning of Trump’s National Security Council’s staff. Harward is bringing in HIS OWN team and not trusting anyone else with sensitive material.
Too many left-wing idealouges in the White House and in our intelligence agencies have made President Trump their target.
Robert Harward’s planned “housecleaning” is the safest way to ensure Americans will remain safe. Posted Under NEWS
A perfect solution. Absolutely necessary...and hopefully sets a pattern.
Now deal with Obama’s order allowing sharing between intelligence agencies and start getting your people in charge at all of them.
Stupid to announce this now. Wait until he’s in the job, and do it with zero notice. Have security grab all current staff, even if they’re sitting on the john, and walk them to their cars.
Trump isn’t a big fan of projecting strategic moves ahead of time. I’m with him on that.
I think EXECUTING a couple of the perps for treason wouldn’t hurt, either.
BOOM! THERE’S A LOCKED FACEBOOK PAGE AT THAT LINK! WIN!
Bob was my boss. I can say I always tried to support him, even though I was Army and he was Navy.
The 3 accused me of supporting Army over Bob, I said Bob was my boss, I will do what he says. If the Army asks about my Task Force decision I will tell them to refer to the Ground commander as I did not have that interaction.
Bob held things close to his chest, but I would work for him again.
A sting operation could out many people. Get a NSA snoop to intercept false but “juicy” info on a Trump admin type. If it bubbles all the way to WaPo trace it backwards firing everyone along the way.
Put them in a theater with random pics flashing on the screen and hook them up to a heart monitor. Fire anyone whose heart flutters or leg tingles when you put Obama on the screen.
I like the idea of firing everyone - many are Obama loyalists, and they need to go (and not just here - but in Justice, OMB, Treasury, etc.).
But someone (or several someones) need to go to jail for what happened with General Flynn. Not - repeat, NOT - because of the political fallout, but because of the Constitutional and national security implications of what happened.
First, it is utterly routine to try to intercept every possible communication in which the Russian ambassador is part (among many other people in the Russian embassy, and among many countries - he isn’t alone by a long stretch). OK, fine, so someone (or several someones) were doing their job. So far, so good. But now you introduce a conversation between said ambassador and a PRIVATE AMERICAN CITIZEN. OK, possibly we have a Logan Act violation - but that is for the FBI to investigate (and, btw, I don’t think that anyone has been prosecuted for that in about 200 years), not for a public airing. The crime here is that the identity of that PRIVATE American citizen, who’s conversation with a foreign national was revealed, was mentioned - that is an outward-looking agency that is FORBIDDEN to spy on Americans, spying on Americans. I am utterly certain that the law was violated here.
Second, and probably more important, is that the very fact that we WERE monitoring the private conversations of the Russian ambassador (among MANY other hostiles) was revealed. The Russians and everyone else that uses cell phones (i.e. EVERYONE that we spy on) now knows that we can do this, so they junked their old phones and have undoubtedly replaced them with newer and more secure ones. So we have a method of intelligence collection that has been revealed, making it forever useless to our intelligence agencies. THAT IS A CRIME, and someone (or several someones) needs to be prosecuted for that.
Oh, and btw, this is NOT at all like the supposed hacking of the DNC. First, that likely wasn’t a hacking, it was probably an inside job. But, even if it WAS hacking, and hacking by the Russians, it did not involve one of OUR government employees (otherwise known as “public servants”) violating any laws or divulging a method of intelligence collection. Besides, spilling the beans on the dirt of a political party is wholly different from spilling the beans on intelligence collection methods or having our own government violate the rights of a (then-) private U.S. citizen.
Jeff Sessions should sic the full weight of the FBI and the DOJ on whomever did this - send the bastard(s) to prison for 30 years, and see how soon someone else does this. I’m betting on “sometime after Trump leaves office.”
On Netflix we’ve been watching an old TV series, “Lie To Me”. The investigators are specialists in identifying people’s emotions by studying facial expressions and micro expressions, and body language.
I’m sure the situations are embellished to some degree for TV, but I think this is one of the methods the Israeli airlines use to screen out the bad guys.
Trump should invite a couple of these people to sit in on all meetings, not telling other attendees what they do, and get their input later on.
One of Mattis’ boys? Excellent!
Drain The Swamp!
The headline has three of the seven dirty words of clickbait.
Boom? Really?
These click bait articles are getting very annoying.
Yesterday when I posted an article about Harward, people seemed disappointed with his connections to George W Bush and his people.

Relocate all Obama holdovers to one of Aleutian Islands.
Then jam all outbound communications.
Voila—no more leaks!

Now, if the President can clean out a whole agency, or the whole State Department (WIPE FOGGY BOTTOM!), the planet’s collective IQ will shoot up 40 points.
that’s just the nsc staff. it was staff over at the cia that leaked material. they are the moslem’s lieutenants sergeants and corporals.
Problems go far far beyond the NSC staff. This headline is absurd, fictional, and histrionic.
We don’t know at all that Pres. Trump is “thrilled” about anything right now, and the “leaks” almost certainly came from a variety of sources in CIA and the rest of the IC, etc., so dealing with NSC staff is just the beginning. Harward may prove to be a good choice but this article is just mindless happy talk. It is going to be a long difficult war to deal with the recalcitrant IC and bureaucracies which are out to sabotage the Trump admin.
Many commenters are assuming that the leakers are still in office. The NYT may not publish leaks immediately. Remember Brennan and Sally Yates? However, I believe that there are traitors still in office who are capable of leaking and supporting in general the anti-Trump coup.
