As Flynn Resigns, Priebus Future In Doubt As Trump Allies Circulate List of Alternate Chief of Staff
Brietbart ^ | 02/14/17 | MATTHEW BOYLE

After GOP establishment forces inside President Donald Trump’s White House forced out National Security Adviser retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, sources close to the president confirm to Breitbart News there is serious doubt as to whether this early administration shake-up will also see the exit of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.

Specifically, multiple sources close to President Trump with internal knowledge of White House operations told Breitbart News on Monday night that the buck stops with Priebus when it comes to the botched rollout of the executive order temporarily banning most travel to the United States from seven nations with a history of exporting terrorism and temporarily halting the refugee program. This news comes of course in the wake of the news that Flynn was pushed out, but also as more and more reports of a likely shake-up at the top loom.

“Reince is responsible, ultimately, for the rollout of the immigration executive order,” one source said. “He failed to get [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions on the calendar in the Senate in time for what he knew would be a highly controversial executive order. He was supposed to be this wizard in dealing with congressional Republicans, but has not been successful in getting anything serious done.”

It doesn't appear this is what happened. The administration was out there defending Flynn, until he admitted his "half truth".

B$ this is the cover story. We know the press lies to us, but a lot of us seem to forget the biggest liar is the Government.

the previous administration should be VETTED like a terrorist because they are communist sympathizers and a threat to the Constitution and the Republic.


Still there too.

No, seriously, I want you to tell me why that’s such a major qualification for the position, because I see no logical connection.

I am pretty sure we have spy ships within 90 miles of Russia too.

I was on an oiler during the Vietnam war and we had a trawler follow us everywhere. I imagine because we always had a fleet waiting somewhere for us to arrive.

I have never trusted Rinsed Penis. Two years ago no one else around here trusted the little weasel either.

He and Paul Ryan have the same political DNA.

Reince will be gone by Independence Day.

Gingrich would have been the optimal choice. He’s a crusty, tough bird with sharp talons.
