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.”

When you go on the main Breitbart page it says the following below,
“WH Sources: Priebus Letting ‘Sleeper Cell’ Obama Holdovers Undermine Trump Admin”
However, when you click the link it gives you title of this article.
If you don’t have career politicians mistakes are going to happen.
I’m hoping Trump has more character than the GOPe. If he is just another “lay down at the first sign of pushback” type of GOP, I need to start buying ammo again.
Name them or shut the f@@k up.
Guess it was more fun wanting to rule than having the actual responsibility, ehh Biggus Priebus?
Welease Wodger!
You think Steve would let Breitbart run with this if there was no there, there?
Priebus is the mole. He’s a typical lackey RINO, and BFFs with chief RINO Paul Ryan.
Think about it...
As CoS, it’as his job to facilitate roll out of EO’s. You see the disaster the immigration EO was. Also with pushing the Senate calendar for Cabinet appts. Yet it’s moving at a glacial pace.
I’ve never trusted Priebus..... He is GOPe all the way.
I did not care for seeing Flynn go.
I just hope President Trump puts in someone very solid.
I'm not a fan of Priebus but I was OK when Trump selected him to his post because the 2016 election results were a win-win for conservatives in the U.S. -- a non-politician like Donald Trump in the White House, and GOP control of both Houses of Congress. Priebus and the RNC leadership deserve a ton of credit for that.
The item I cited above is the only reason to fire him, because that's the kind of thing he's supposed to be doing very well there in that role.
P.S. -- I don't think Trump is going to "fire" Priebus. More likely, there will be a shuffling of roles at the top and Priebus will land in another position.
If true, Reince is more than welcome back here in Wisconsin where he was our RNC Chairman.
He can help us shed the remainder of the destructive Socialists that are currently on the run in our newly minted RED State. :)
[Name them or shut the f@@k up. ]
It’s quite obvious its Steve Bannon.
“I’m hoping Trump has more character than the GOPe. If he is just another “lay down at the first sign of pushback” type of GOP”
I’m sorry....but last time I checked the conservative right has been AWOL for the past month because they are all scared of being beat up by the left.
Dont wag your finger at Trump. He’s been doing exactly what he had promised, nor at the GOPe for acting like you know they would.
The activist right can start showing up and making their voices heard instead oh hiding and “buying ammo” and “polishing guns” as if they are shocked that Trump has opposition.
Like if they are too lazy to be activists, then where are they going to find the time to shoot people?
“sources,” “contacts,” “unnamed officials.”
FAKE NEWS!
It’s Breitbart. Come on.
And yes, I hope it is true. Bannon, take out Preibus in this Game of Throne bloody battle.
BINGO!!!!
That’s a BIG CLUE Priebus is gone.
My understanding is Priebus works for Paul Ryan, and has been causing all the leaks to the Media that hate President Trump.
Priebus needs to go.
One thing that’s bothered me about Priebus is his closeness with Paul Ryan. Ryan is the worst snake of all.
I don’t believe all this and I’m not going to read it. This is propaganda that is trying to destroy Trump.
[and Priebus will land in another position. ]
Unless he’s Chief of the WH Bathroom Attendants, I don’t want him in any position with classified info or daily contact w POTUS (unless it’s to hand him a towel and keep his toilet paper stocked).
“when it comes to the botched rollout of the executive order “
I still see nothing botched about it. State was jamming in 500 refugees a day when Trump got elected, trying to flood them in. He needed it to happen immediately. And who the F cares if a few got stopped in mid flight? They had a gorged pipeline so that was guaranteed to happen, even with notice.
