President Trump’s new national security advisor is reportedly planning major staffing changes at the National Security Council.
Sources close to the situation told Foreign Policy that John Bolton is preparing to “clean house” and remove nearly all of the political appointees brought in by his predecessor.
“Bolton can and will clean house,” one former White House official told Foreign Policy.
Another former official said that any National Security Council officials appointed under former President Obama “should start packing their shit.”
Foreign Policy reported that Bolton is planning to remove dozens of current officials, with a focus on those who have been “disloyal” to the president.

Among the officials Bolton's allies are urging him to fire is Nadia Schadlow, currently the deputy national security advisor for strategy. Schadlow was the primary author of the administration's recently released National Security Strategy, which was viewed as a surprisingly mainstream document that reaffirmed many traditional U.S. foreign-policy positions. Another official likely to be targeted in a Bolton purge is McMaster's deputy, Ricky Waddell.

That news makes my day!
Draining the swamp. Good for Bolton. Thank the Lord we do not have Hillary.
Leaking leakers like the leakers who leaked this story?
Or made it up?
“.......former official said that any National Security Council officials appointed under former President Obama “should start packing their shit.”........
I like Bolton’s plan already. Yeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwww, Hot Doggies!!!!!
I’m still curious about who wrote “don’t congratulate” Putin on the memo. It looks like a set up. If not, it was too stupid to keep their job.
Bolton knows the inside info on everyone.
All the world leaders called him...Putin's bud Merkel was probably first, Macron, the head of the EU etc etc.
It should have happened a year ago.
Why is Jeff Sessions still AG?
Why Is Rosenweasel still in office? Why is Herr Mueller not forced to recuse himself or his witch hunt shut-down?
Why doesn't Trump realize he's on his own and he may as well go for it as he will be crucified regardless?
Why doesn't Trump, as the so-called leader of his miserable Party, force out the despicable McConnell and Ryan?
Where's all that vaunted toughness, that fearlessness Mr. Trump?
Good. Get rid of the leakers; and the malingerers.
Aren’t we supposed to be against Bolton because he once worked for Dubya? My brain hurts.
Ditching the Obamatons is a good start....but Bolton has to go after the chief ex-NSA culprits.
Like Susan “the Sifter” Rice who is out of NSA but reportedly still getting US intel.
And she’s still acting like she has a say WRT our safety and security.
Bolton needs to tell her to go home and shut up.....
AND he needs to ascertain if she’s still on the US govt payroll (an old bureaucratic trick).

After yesterday...BELIEVE NOTHING...NOTHING!!!
Totally made up speculation.
Maybe true, but a guess at best.
Leakers claiming that Bolton is going to fire leakers, Big Time?
It may have been put out there for the sole purpose of catching someone leaking to the media.
