McGurk served as the US envoy in a global anti-ISIS coalition and reportedly resigned amid President Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria—a decision which also reportedly led to the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.

It is what you get when you allow Obama hold-overs keep their jobs. Expect anything.

Trump should have read Machiavelli before he was sworn in.
It’s second nature to the Rats particularly the Clintons! Remember what the Clintons did to all the DOJ district attorneys? Trump is paying for that oversight now!

Oh yes “Trust the Plan!”

I’m confused, this guy is a bad guy, because, he wanted to keep troops in Syria, or, because, he was a jOkeass holdover?

When one reads of the Syria pullout in the news, it sounds like Trump woke up one morning and made that decision out of thin air.

That is, of course, nonsense.

He accepted the advice of someone (several actually) whose advice he found sound and better than that of Mattis.

Just guessing, but that advice probably came from Pompeo at State, Haspel at CIA, and perhaps Bolton as well as others.

Bit by bit, these Islam-first one-worlders are being peeled off. And by the way, General Mattis was never all that on board with Donald Trump, he just had a very good resume.

But from the Obama era, toward the end of his military career.

By early 2020, Trump MAY have the White House and the Cabinet he wanted all along.

Are we sure Trump didn’t ask for their resignations?

Trump fired him now it turns out Secy of State Tillerson was pursuing Obama-era policies at the State Dept,
deliberately sabotaging President Trump on Iran policy, relations with Israel, the Paris Accords and other issues.
.......several prominent Obama officials who have knowledge of the Iran deal are still at the State Dept.
<><> Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, in charge of Iran and the Persian Gulf region on the policy planning staff,
<><> a former John Kerry apprentice, Michael Ratney, occupies the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio,
<><> trusted Obama aide, Yael Lempert, served under Tillerson on the same platform.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

We can be contacted at judgment.fund@fiscal.treasury.gov or 202-874-6664.

I don’t want endless wars in middle east shit holes and neither does Trump. It was one of his campaign promises to bring home troops from these kind of boondoggles.

“It was one of his campaign promises to bring home troops from these kind of boondoggles.”

Exactly right. People must be flabbergasted that he was telling the truth.
