Vice Adm. Bob Harward is one name that has come up to replace Flynn as national security adviser, and the leading candidate to get the job, a senior official told Fox News.
Harward is a U.S. Navy SEAL, but also has a previous relationship with Secretary of Defense James Mattis. Harward was the deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command under Mattis and was also the deputy commander of U.S. Joint Forces Command.
He also served on the National Security Council for President George W. Bush and commissioned the National Counter Terrorism Center.
White House sources described Harward as the toughest guy in the SEALs and a real rock.
A senior administration official added that if Howard is the choice to replace Flynn, he could be in place by the end of the week.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Keith Kellogg, Jr. has been floated as a permanent replacement for Flynn. Trump named him the acting national security adviser after Flynn resigned.
Kellogg is a decorated U.S. Army veteran, having served from 1967 to 2003. He earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with V device and the Air Medal with V device during his time in the Vietnam War

Is Flynn resigning or being fired...
__________
Yes
Who will replace the intel operative who leaked information from intercepted phone calls between Flynn and the Russian ambassador to the Washington Post? That person is a danger to national security and should be prosecuted. Everyone should see the interview that Maria Bartiromo had with Dennis Kuchinich on her morning show today. Surprisingly, he nailed it.
Why take on a Lt Col when there are admirals?
My question is, who would most make the Left say “Oh crap! We should have kept Flynn!”?
I’m sure they’re all excellent candidates.
TRump kept Sally Yates on and she is the one who spied on the transition team..there are going to be mistakes and this was a big one..live and learn
I disagree. He screwed up, he knew it, and he did the honorable thing by resigning rather than become a lightning rod for the Trump Administration.
We're talking about a cabinet post in an administration, not a Navy Seal team on a mission in enemy territory. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Flynn is a nationalist. He is in intelligence.
The Deep State and GOPe needed him out.
Your recommendation is highly valued. He has my support.
Death by a thousand cuts. Set up by Sally Yates the AG who Trump had to fire, and presstitutes making mountains out of mole hills.
Excellent
Suggest the POTUS speak with Gen. Keane again.
Preibus is believed to be a source of some of the leaks, and supportive to the GOPe especially Ryan and McCain types, and not so loyal to DJT.
It is also rumored that he told some people he didn’t like that DJT wanted their resignation, but it wasn’t true that DJT wanted that. There is also some feeling that Preibus is in over his head, and not keeping things running smooth.
“Flynn might be an honorable and qualified man, but he caved too easily.”
Many of us admired and respected Flynn who appeared to be the right man at the right time. But lying to the VP can not be condoned, he had to go.
DJT was willing to keep Flynn, but Flynn decided to resign.

You can disagree, but the libs will treat this as a victory and go to the next target on their list. If he wanted to show his character, he would have admitted his mistake, and carried on. The liberals would have continued attacking him and would have left the others alone and they remained fixated on him.
He caved too easy and too soon. He surrendered; he did not go down fighting.
And you know this how?
Do you have a source on that?
I was just encouraged to hear on Breitbart radio that they still have something coming out on Priebus—so maybe he’s not totally safe right now after all. (We can hope!)
I have done quite a bit of reading since this story hit, and I don’t remember for sure. It might have been Fox and Friends.
I think it was Fox and Friends. Brian K. I don’t remember who he said he got the info from.
Thanks!
