From your link...

Cohen-Watnick, a protégé of ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn, was reportedly almost fired himself amid an internal struggle for control over national security policy in Trump’s White House. Once Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster replaced Flynn, he allegedly tried to fire the young intelligence official but was overruled after Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon and senior adviser Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, intervened.

Cohen-Watnick was later reported to be one of the sources who played a role in getting Nunes to the White House to view classified intelligence reports that Nunes claimed show the identities of members of Trump’s campaign staff were inappropriately unmasked.

McMaster is proving to be a very deep state operative who does not hesitate to fire Trump loyalists. How long can this go on???

pushing for the declassification of Presidential Study Directive 11

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think this is what really got him fired and the memo served as convenient cover.

I’m really not liking what’s going on with McMaster. I’d reserved judgement for a while, but it has become increasingly clear to me that he is NOT to be trusted.

I would love to read it. I don’t like summaries unless I’m the one summarizing. I hope it gets leaked.

The American Report ^ | June 10, 2015 | Editors
“Islam is the Solution, Allah is our objective; the Qur’an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish.” -Motto of the Society of Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) This week, we were reminded by a number of media outlets of Presidential Study Directive Eleven (PSD-11). This document, issued in 2011, ordered a re-assessment of the nation’s allies in the Middle East, and, ordered the U.S. to ally itself with the Muslim Brotherhood, an international terrorist organization.
