Report: Bolton Expected to 'Clean House' at NSC
Newsmax ^ | 24 Mar 2018 | Todd Beamon

Posted on 03/24/2018 7:55:17 AM PDT by mandaladon

John Bolton is expected to "launch a massive shake-up" when he takes over next month at the National Security Council to clear out leaks, Foreign Policy magazine reported Friday.

"Bolton can and will clean house," one former White House official told the magazine.

A second former White House official was more blunt: "Everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their s**t."

And another source said that Bolton "is going to remove almost all the political [appointees] McMaster brought in."

President Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that Bolton, 69, the former United Nations ambassador, would succeed National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on April 9.

McMaster, 55, a three-star Army lieutenant colonel who is on active duty, said he would retire and "leave public service" in the summer.

Foreign Policy cited "sources" in its report, saying that Bolton and his staffers would be targeting "officials believed to have been disloyal to President Donald Trump, those who have leaked about the president to the media, his predecessor's team, and those who came in under [President Barack] Obama."

Why don’t they just “do” something without giving the enemy advance warning?

Hopefully Bolton will put a kink in the pipeline that goes down the street to the Obama/Valjar headquarters.

Everyone at the NSC who was appointed by Traitorobama should be subject to a criminal investigation.

Let’s not start giving high fives yet. We have heard this kind of talk many times.

Call me skeptical.
