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.”

Priebus must go. He is a GOPe mole. The EO was a total botch and if they aren’t damn careful all immigration restrictions will be subject to the whims of hack judges.
Romney might be ‘borrowing’ Priebus to run his Senate campaign.
oh well...he could overturn DACA while he awaits an overturn of the sleeper cells and court cases over his EO
LOL!
It is possible that the green card thing was a Bannon play.
I think Reince, buddy of Ryan, would have known better.
I haven't seen Jared Kushner's name in the news very much since that outlandish story that he had retained Jamie Gorelick as his attorney to deal with potential conflicts of interest in his role as a senior advisor to Trump.
I would be thrilled if that guy packed up his family and moved back to New York City.
That story has been told in posts all over FreeRepublic in recent days.
Flynn calls Russia with good intentions: Honorably Resigns....
Hillary Sells Russia 20% of U.S. Uranium for $150M: Continues Unchecked......
RIGGED!
Hmmm...I think I like that.
He didn’t step down because of a phone call.
He stepped down because he lied to VP Pence about it.
**************
Agree. Flynn probably could have survived the phone call incident, but not lying to the VP. This made him both untrustworthy and disrespectful. He had to go.
Who is running the GOP now that Priebus is gone?
Right now, unfortunately, with Oroville, would be the best time for a massive shake-up. I’m assuming they’ve IDd the leaker(s). Do it now, do it big. And figure out a way to get rid of McConnell at the same time, no matter what it takes.
Romney’s niece.

So, how did they know?
GINGRICH FOR CHIEF OF STAFF
Yes, I know he is not perfect, he sat on a couch with Pelosi and blah blah blah...
HE BALANCED THE FREAKIN’ BUDGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*HE* *BALANCED* *THE* *BUDGET* THE ONLY TIME IN ABOUT 100 YEARS.
To this day I still don’t understand why Trump put Prebius as COS. I felt it would be a huge mistake. Prebius is a GOPE insider which means he is friendly to Democrats.
Trump should have put Gingrich in that roll.
Jones is spewing the same stuff
Time will tell
Bannon has no control at Breitbart. He gave that up to become part of Team Trump
How does balancing a Congressional budget 20 years ago make Newt Gingrich more qualified to be White House Chief of Staff?
