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.”

I AGREE with you 100% Preibus IS THE MOLE!!! My gut feeling about this guy from the beginning has been BAD!!! He is to close to LYIN RYAN he NEEDS to get rid of this guy NOW!!! COF is just to close to Trump, I would feel much better with Bannon as COF!!!
Why is it Priebus??
Both our side and the administration should be living by better, more honest standards. If you aren’t willing to put your name to something and stand by it, then it is an orphan that gets sold off to who knows who.
I have come to the realization that this press 1st Amendment fallback of not having to reveal sources is just another way of asking for abuse. While the lion’s share of abuse has been from the liberal side, I still don’t approve of it, even from Breitbart - whoever. I don’t care who at Breitbart knows who. Oh wait.
I still say put your name to it or shut up. This isn’t, nor should be some inside joke simply because we are in charge now.
You don’t trust Breitbart to have legit sources?
Then who takes Conway’s job?
That isn’t the point.
I’m just surprised it’s Priebus...but I guess I shouldn’t be.
The other side uses unnamed sources to good effect, and I don’t see a reason for our side to unilaterally disarm on this.
Miller needs to be doing the Sunday Shows and let Kellyanne do the polling/public opinion, her profession. The RATS are having too much fun ravaging her, they need to fear the content of WH communications.
Alex Jones claims he has sources
Okay. I said what I said and what I believe. You are perfectly free to think and do what you want - I am not advocating you can’t speak your mind. We differ. Thanks.
I remember that movie. The animator who did this was truly non-CGI ground breaking! Many a good time watching his work!
Okay....and they are who?
I heard Ruddy giving an interview yesterday about his chat with Trump this weekend re: the weakness of Priebus. And I thought it was an interesting Freudian slip that he referred to Trump being able to get someone stronger in the counsel role, until he corrected himself and said he meant chief of staff.
Sometimes such slips are purely accidental, but sometimes they reflect what’s really on the speaker’s mind.
Regardless, this story says that some are circulating alternative CoS names around. Frankly I find that believable from the staff as some sort of wishful thinking but I very much doubt the President dumps Preibus. It would only make Trump look capricious and to have poor judgement to cut a major staff position this soon. If he's soured on Preibus, the play is to either lock him in his office or put him on some special really super urgent priority focus assignment like defining some major policy initiative for green energy or other nonsense. Either way he keeps the title, there is no story, and you have an unofficial chief of staff who actually does the job. Then in a year or so, Reince resigns to run some campaign and Trump and he embrace for photo ops and it's over.
Exactly!!
Priebus is a mole and GOPe through and through. He must go.
I for one fully expected the Fed Courts to be throwing up barbed wire in Trump’s path at every turn.
I suspect Trump expected it too.
I rolled my eyes when Newt was floated for COS. I don’t know if he is right for the job or not. There is a place in the WH for an experienced, trusted political insider who knows how what to expect & how to win political wars.
Just because it is not politics as usual for Trump does not mean the political parties will follow suit.
Alex Jones got some info from Roger Stone.
Okay, I understand your point. Thanks.
