Deputy NSA Director KT Macfarlane Picks John Bolton to Head Agency
Laura Rozen Al Monitor ^ | the backchannel

Posted on 02/19/2017 6:27:14 PM PST by drewh

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

He is a globalist which is not too far removed from him being a RINO by default.

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

I agree Bolton is a neocon globalist regime changer, not a conservative.

LOL — You can’t make this stuff up. This is so ridiculous that possibly somebody planted this version of the current NSA selection process status and some gullible fool both believed it and leaked it.

Again, you can’t make this stuff up.

The pictures don't come from the FR server. They mooch off others' bandwidth, LOL!

E.g., the specific one you are complaining about comes from https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1IyYwG42Wo0/hqdefault.jpg

Letting Bolton into the White House may be akin to the Trojans letting the Horse in....not good.

Nope. I am not in favor of Bolton. I prefer a military guy.

One reason is that when Bolton is asked about something, unless he would betray a confidence, his answers are straight and to the point. His observations are also wide ranging and he backs them up.

I am not certain Bolton really is a neocon, he worked for neocons in the Bush admin but hearing him the other day on Fox, I think, he sounded perfect for the job. I expect him to fully buy in to Trumps America first world view and serve Trump well at NSA. I might be naive.

I’m totally confused. Trump picks the nsa. He is supposedly interviewing four people now. What is kt”s say in this? Fox news reporting tonight that more than four are being interviewed.

Note: In this context, NSA means National Security Advisor, not National Security Agency.

This country can not afford to squander any more.

If we don't stop it the clock runs out and our edge in technology is lost.

All the concern trolls does not bode well for America's future - they seem willing to find any reason to have "issues" with the best President since Reagan and who may actually eclipse Reagan

Make yourself useful

Donate to FR

concern troll....
