Laura Rozen Al Monitor ^

Laura Rozen @lrozen contact earlier said the personnel disagreement btw Adm. Harward & Trump was centered on McFarland. KT is very close to the Trump family
She was apparently non-negotiable, and Trump wanted her to stay as Deputy NSA. The expectation is that she will serve 2 years on the NSC
& then get appointed as Ambassador somewhere, she apparently wants Greece. Harward balked at the timeline
that is what relayed to me about why trump is set on keeping mcfarland in nsc for now

Any mention of neocon Bolton does not bode well for Trump’s future.

Trump shouldn’t have done this. It might cause outrage

LOL Outrage is the codeword of the day, the week, the month, the year at least. Bolton will take no prisoners. A bloodbath is coming.

I was hoping he would get UN ambassador but after the war erupted between CIA and Trump forces this is delicious. Trust the Mustache.

You got that right. The press will probably be negative too.

Bolton only in December was upset that Aleppo fell to Syrian army backed by Russian air.
Last year he said the answer to ISIS was to create a Sunni state in Syria.
I wouldn’t trust him until he comes out HARD for defending Trump. His neocon roots have to be dealt with.

I see where you’re going. Man, this might not make Chuck Todd happy. Hope we hear from some leftist actor in Hollywood if it is approved.

So let me get this straight ...
Trump passed over his top choice for the #1 position because he was adamant about keeping McFarland in the #2 position and his #1 choice didn't want that?
I'm kind of surprised Bolton would accept a post like this, with the five-year limit on lobbying and all that. I get a sense that this Trump rule has scared a lot of political hacks away.
